I could actually deal with the $14.99 MSRP if they are all still in scale with previous Universe/Generations figures.

Has there been a confirmed price point on these? Just curious given how small people are saying they are.

Not sure on that, but it sounds so. $15 for seemingly Scout-sized figures.

....A great bargain in the Shattered Glass universe.

Kids want him. You know ... the ones these things are created for?

Time people really accepted that. It would save them a lot of heart ache and bandwidth.

FOC Bruticus ... yeah, combiner fail again. Why are they having so much trouble getting combiners right these days when they had such great success in the past?

And FOC Shockwave ... sweeeeeeeeeet.

are these the same kids that were supposed to want leader dotm bumblebee.. and ultimate bumblebee, and dotm ultimate prime? .. if memory serves me correctly, none of those moved very well where i live.

i think it's time for hasbro to understand that collectors are more likely to buy the more expensive figures, rather than the parents of bumblebee-loving kids. it's time for these larger figures to be tailored more for us.. or at the very least, make it even. some for them, some for us.

The one benefit of these seemingly few kids getting them is they eventually end up at yard sales. Scored a perfectly functional Ultimate Bee for $8 last year :DANCE:

But yeah, I agree with you. The Leaders don't seem to move well and the Ultimates move even less. It was either the Target or TRU near me that had the same 2 Ultimate Bee's for MONTHS before they put a hefty discount on them.

...I like Leader Class figures.

Especially movieverse ones. I'd actually like to see MORE Leader Class. But the real, legit Leader Class, not these fakes that PRID is trying to pass off.

"Hasbro, what is best in life?"
"Bumblebee."

F***ing Hasblow. Where the hell are my FE figures?

Are there any good pics of Shockwave holding his gun? I wanna see if his gun at least looks like a gun hand or does it look like he's holding a massive flux capacitor?

Did you take a peak through my BotCon galleries? There are a ton of photos of Shockwave.
