Loving the field of focus you got there.

So, was he worth the hunt?

Other than his shoulders being about half an inch too low, making any "straight forward" arm cannon posing look wonky, he's great! So great that I'm honestly considering getting Armada megs despite saying I didn't need two $50 molds...

Well hopefully my wallet will be feeling "loose" if I run across one.

Vets TRU has 2 CW megs & 2 Armada megs $49.99, wave 1 of the CW deluxes.. The prices went up as well on them to $19.99...

I'm betting that's temporary so that they can just roll out a "sale" in two weeks. $20 for deluxes is absurd...

CW Megs G1 and Armada versions were at the Target in Kenner. Also saw the World of Nintendo Samus there.

Don't know I have been reading about it everywhere.. The manager told me that they were legitimately "hurting" with the port strike too.. I wonder if that is why?? Or just TRU greed?

How's that Samus look? Some of those WoN figures are pretty dope. I picked up a little Wario to "guard" our piggy bank.

Same here!

TO DRINK AND FIGHT!

I didn't realize drink was an option. I'll take that and skip the rest.

I received all of my wave 2 CW deluxes today as well!

I've just started to crack open the wave 2 stuff and those packages are really collector friendly. Just slice the tape on the back and everything just slips right out. No muss no fuss!

I normally don't keep the deluxe boxes, but I can still appreciate how easy they are to open. I feel a lot less likely to damage myself or the goodies inside.

Found all of CW wave 2 at the veterans Wal Mart.

I'll post pix when I can

As promised

I'm really enjoying the CW figures. They are all very similar, but enough differences to be fun and surprising.

Now the ultimate decision... combined or separate? hmmm....

Thanks wise sage Old El Paso girl.

Yeah I am digging them too..

I got sidetracked looking at memes and derailed my train of thought.

The plastic is real nice feeling as well with a good little bit of heft. Dead End was a real pleasure. Nice and tight and compact in car mode and I really like the way his legs fold up.

I like the leg transformation of the Aerialbots as well (even though they are all the same) with Alpha Bravo standing out.

To be fair, I have only opened Dead End of wave 2. So I'm hoping for a few surprises.

This line is a lot of fun. I've given them an entire shelf, which is quickly running out of space.

Now I just need to get caught up with the comics. I was waiting on a comixology sale for Dark Cybertorn and beyond. After picking up the humble bundle, I decided to go back and re-read the entire MtMtE and RID series before moving on. I think I'm on volume 5 of each.

Harahan Wal Mart has two sets of CW wave 2 deluxes as of 2:13 today.

Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy. But honestly, the WoN Samus looked like crap to me. But that's probably because I've seen the Figma Samus in person and would rather just spend the extra 25 bucks on the Figma than get the Happy Meal looking WoN version.

I haven't seen the WoN Metroid figure, but it looks pretty cool. Too bad I'm not that big of a Metroid fan (Only played the Prime trilogy). But if you REALLY want a Samus figure, just get the Figma.

I have the figma Samus, and that is hands down the best non TF action figure I own (to be fair though, I don't have that many other figures). Play-arts Vile is a very close second. I will keep an eye out for the metroid. Samus needs a friend/target.
