OK, dial-up beware!

Keep mind as you look at these that Soundwave is smaller than a nickel in tape recorder mode.





Gun Storage:


Ravage:








This is the best I could do with Ravage popping out without the whole door opening all the way:

Okay, WST Soundwave is definitely a grail for me now. That is all kinds of awesomesauce!

Thanks. He is really something. You've got to see him up close to fully appreciate him.
I got a real good deal on him, he goes for upwards of $80 believe it or not.

I've got the reprolabel set for soundwave on the way so hopefully soon I'll have new stickers on him.

Thanks, iron maniac.

Very nice. Soundwave WST is even more attractive than the regular Soundwave. Amazing details. Well-proportioned. Ravage can even go inside the chest.

Although ravage is a bit too simplified.

Woot! Thanks for sharing brother iron. My WST soundwave is actually missing the little ravage, if I can't find a loose ravage to complete it, I will need to get another set then, hopefully at lower price mark.

Looking forward to see more WST pics posting from everybody.

Cheers,

You have to keep in mind that Ravage is about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of a penny. He is VERY small.

I wouldn't want to put more stickers on him.

As is, is already perfect! Stickers could possibly ruin his professional looks. Considering his minute size. Slight imperfection in the application of stickers, slight bumps, dents, misalightment, will be glaringly big for his scale.

Yeah. I realize that. He will do.

Why not put a coin or something in the picture? To better appreciate the size.

Just can't get enough of these little guys, the more the merrier. Doesn't a huge number of these small figures lined up nicely together create a special presence of authority?

Yup! It looks like a cute little army.

How about posing them all in robot mode?

Next time when I get full day off, I will plan ahead to get all these little guys out of their boxes and transform them to bot mode for another reunion shot.

Haha I understand. It will be a whole day's work to transform the whole army!

Thanks.
I think I'll put up WST Starscreams Ghost next. Another amazing figure IMO.

I have tons of these guys. Hot Rod, Clear Thundercracker, Starscream, Prime, Megs, Thrust, Prowl, Red Alert. Just ask if you want to see anything.

If you ask me, i'd take all.

Starting with Hot Rod and Megs.

I'd love to see some shots of Prowl. I'm debating getting him or not and some pics would really help.

the whole thing is just a mockup of the ipod convoy stand takara released in the music labal line.

Heerotoys is yet again adding one variant of the trailer to his line of custom/prototype trailers for the worlds smallest transformers. I'm not sure if the little ipod will be included or not, but what I can tell you is that that is a wstf trailer, intended on imitatin the real version. There will be no connection to an ipod for that thing. Unless he really marks the price up for tiny speakers, but that wouldn't make selling and mass producing it practical.

People get crazy over this trailer-ipod thing. I don't get it.

I got called back to work today so I didn't have time to take any pics but they are coming soon.

Also a couple of people have asked how much I paid for my WST Soundwave, I can't remember the exact amount but it was LESS than $20. I think the fact that the auction ended on a Saturday night played into the low price I paid.
Anyone that follows WST Soundwave prices knows that is an absolute steal.

I also forgot to mention that I have all 3 WST Dinobots, they are freaking AWESOME!!

I presume WST Soundwave is a rare item. (As i have seen a few WST here and there, but never Soundwave.)

If so, 20 bucks is a steal!

I've seen one Soundwave so far and it was starting at 40-odd US. Alas, I had already won my Prime/Megs two pack, so that was a no-go.

On the plus side though, today I won a beautiful official trailer to go with my Prime! Woot! Can't wait for these bad boys to arrive!!

One last thing, I've got WST Grimlock and Slag and I absolutely love them. I can't wait until I have the funds to get Snarl. They're what got me hooked on WST!!

no its not that soundwave is rare, its just the demand for him exceeds the number of him there really is. He is considerably one of the cooler worlds smallest transformers, and because his character is incredibly popular, the ones you do see are generally VERY over priced.

He was rather common when the first wave of worlds smallest transformers hit. The most common during the first wave: soundwave, bumblebee, sideswipe, optimus prime, and starscream.

the "rares" from the first wave were: red bumblebee/cliffjumper, and skywarp. And then the semi-rare (there were about 2 for every 4 boxes) was prime's trailer.

Then wave 2's commons were:
prowl, red alert, thrust, megatron, (cartoon accurate) optimus prime.

The rares from that wave were ultramagnus and bluestreak.
(the semi rare, again 2 for every 4 boxes, was Jazz).

Then wave 2.5 hit, and the commons from that was a mix of the commons from waves 1 and 2.

The only notables for wave 2.5 were the rares and semi-rares. The semi-rare (again 2 for every 4 boxes) was Hot Rod, while the rares were thundercracker, and optimus prime's trailer (different stickers than the wave 1 trailer, and the plastic was lighter in color.)

Among all these, Soundwave is the most sought-after?

Not by me... I am currently hunting down the japanese exclusive 1 day show licensed Ultra Magnus with transforming trailer armor.

I've bid on two and when they went up to $500, I stopped bidding.

The variants: Cliffjumper, Bluestreak, Thundercracker, and Skywarp tend to be the most sought after, as well as Hot Rod.

There's this $429.99 BIN been sitting around a few days already, hopefully the price will come down to a more sensible level. Good luck hunting your piece bro!

Yeah, maybe after the holidays... My wife thinks it's a pretty silly thing to spend so much on something so small, so I am in no hurry to get him.

I know how you feel, tigertracks. 9 times out 10 my wife gives me a hard time when I buy a TF. She really doesn't get the appeal of them. But then I don't get her fascination with collecting LV, Coach, Gucci and Prada bags.

Nah, my wife has been really good about turning the other cheek, and supporting me very positively, but with this, I finally got that "You really would spend that much?" question.
