Of course they can, but they also know he'll sell out well before anyone else and then they'll have a warehouse full of Primes.

Just good buisness sense to bundle them up when it's obvious two of the three are popular with fans.

Motto: "If you don't believe me, just ask me.....I'll tell you all about it."
I will be getting this Shockwave. I'm honestly not super impressed with it as I think they could have done much more with this character. However I feel this is the only representation we will get for the whole Generations/Universe/Reveal the sheild/Classics line so for that reason alone I will grab him.

Jazz and Prime will be passed on as I don't see them being replacements for the Reveal the shield Jazz and Classics Prime.
New pics added as I find time.

Good for them, bad for me and any other consumer who is just interested in shocks, very glad that some store has been able to sell shocks individually, and that is the store who is getting my business (just good consumer sense... and the stores which are not doing that can keep not just one or two but all three warming up their stocks...)

They look tiny on the cards. Did they look small to anyone who saw them at Botcon? Smaller than the War For figures, I mean.

They have Shockwave labeled as Cybertronian Mobile Artillery mode? That's random.

They're smaller. While at the New York toy fair a guy from another site brought a WFC Megatron for comparison and he was larger than all of these guys.

According to comments from people at TFW who went to Botcon... yes, they are smaller, more like big scouts than small deluxes... which sucks! I would prefer to pay more to have them at scale if increasing production/distribution costs are the issue behind shrunken figures since DOTM (see, there is no mechtech there to be the "excuse" now... ¬_¬')

Yeah, I'd buy these all at a $15 price point for them to actually be a decent size.

Edit: Hold on, these are already at a $15 dollar price point!?! Yeah, not collecting this line at all now. What makes these $3 dollars more than the Prime figures?
