Didn't really count the numbers. Brooklyn Park Walmart has first wave BH voyager class, deluxe class, commander class, and legion class figures. No second wave like others sighted (which is what I want). :( They also have FOC Conbaticons and Grimlock and Blaster. I only bought legion Smokescreen for my son. Still couldn't justify the FOC Blaster since it is still too large for my taste.

Do you have Soundwave? I vowed to only get one, but ended with Soundwave, Blaster, and Soundblaster. Yes, I know that makes me a bit of a sucker. But it really is a great mold even it if it's a bit large. And the data disc gimmick really is kinda cool - a nice homage to the originals.


Just my $0.02

I concur. I have all three, plus the WfC Soundwave. It's kinda cool to have Soundblaster in vehicle mode, WfC in boombox mode and Soundwave and Blaster in bot modes. Blaster looks great! I love how the chest pieces look.

Now, the data discs are a cool concept, but are not executed very well in Steeljaw and Ravage, in my opinion. Ravage doesn't fold up for me. (I ended up buying another set to try to fix this.) and Steeljaw has a strange hump in his back. Still, the drop transformation gimmick is pretty neat. And the data discs look great in the purple cases.

And even Kentucky has BH wave 2 too. :-( Do snow really delay all of these toy ordering? ;)

Back to Blaster. Yes, I really want to fill the character hole in my universe. He looks so well comparing with MPs but terribly huge with Classics (see picture below). When think of the fact he is taller than Classics Optimus, I just couldn't buy him and put him there. Ah! I hate when situation comes like this. To me, Device Label Blaster is pretty much the perfect size but he is darn expensive. :BANG_HEAD:

Got home from school today and to my surprise my mom picked the autobot and decepticon data discs at the hermantown target. Now that my Blaster has his buddies I need to find a Soundwave.

Sweet!

Good to know the Autobot data discs are out there if we keep looking!
