Shockwave....shockwave....where are you?

by **YoImLegend** » Wed May 18, 2011 12:14 pm

Picked up Roadbuster on Monday. Gonna pace myself with this DOTM line because as of now there are only 2 more molds that I want. Maybe 3 with Leader Ironhide. Real psyched to hear that Wheeljack is making his way closer to my part of the state though! Also really excited to get my loot from BBTS. iGear Kup and IDW HotHead!

Picked up Powerglide and Blackout (cyberverse) @ Walmart. I've gotten the other Cyberverse Optimus Prime, Megs, Ironhide, and Sentinel Prime. I'm kinda diggin these little guys. Most bot and vehicle modes are good and weapons are a nice add. Don't take half an hour to transform and take up less space.

I want a Shockwave! All I see are Primes and Ironhide. Some Megatron's so I picked one up at the Target in ypsi. Man I need to get to the TRU in Westland more. See if they have 1

by **moneycon** » Wed May 18, 2011 7:22 pm

it's all about the timing...and by "all" I mean every aspect of life!!! But in this instance...it's about shockwave baby!!! It got him at the meijer I just visited yesterday...

Where in Michigan are you?

So far I've procured Leader Sentinel and CV Powerglide on Mon, from the BV Meijer. Sentinel is the ish once you figure out his nuances, he has a very classic Japanese quasi-Mazinger thing going, looks great in both modes. I do agree that he is fiddly, but still overall a pretty solid figure.

Powerglide is a great little G1 homage, and has much coolness stuffed into such a little figure. Not perfect, but pretty great overall.

He might even fit in with your CHUGURTS collection, for those original-scale-purists disappointed with Universe's Powerglide-on-'roids. He looks cool next to Cosmos, at least.

Today I picked up Shockwave and Skyhammer from the Allen park Kmart, none left. All of their old stock was on clearance, most notably the Battle in Space set for $16, and the wave 1 PCC 5-packs for same.

New toys to be opened in 5...4...3...2...

I would just order him off amazon. That's what I did he just came in today and he's all kinds of awesome.

by **moneycon** » Wed May 18, 2011 10:39 pm

Just got done looking at most of these guys and I gotta say....me likey. Topspin: awesome bot awesome vehicle. Roadbusters the same....Crankcase has a really nice bot mode and ratchet is really nice too...he's well put together and sturdy. bumblebee (yes I bought a bumblebee, deluxe anyway) is really easy to transform and so were a few of the other guys. Definitely could add some playability for the younger ones. sandstorm is a cool little guy and the only alliance I would recommend. one of the other ones looks like he might have a cool mech suit mode, but the bots on the others are not good. Ironhide...awesomeness. megatron is different...but I like him. His gun is crap (imo) and so is everything about optimus(except his gun) so I gave megatron primes blaster...It looks much more like a megatron blaster...just not sure about the color...maybe it should be black???? skyhammer is really cool and so is shockwave. they're bot modes are so cool I haven't transformed either one yet. I'm really happy with almost all of them...good color schemes and they look really nice (thematically) sitting there on my table....

by **moneycon** » Thu May 19, 2011 9:51 am

Ah...okay...me again. Saw 2 shocks and 2 skyhams at the rochester walmart on squirrel road...both are still there.

by **YoImLegend** » Thu May 19, 2011 12:58 pm

Just saw a handful of shockwaves at TRU-Flint.

by **bigwhitey21** » Thu May 19, 2011 3:15 pm

Just picked up a Shockwave and a skybammer at flint toys r us. No more On shelf. Loving the look of Shockwave. Can't wait to check him out after work. Only need leader Ironhide now. Anyone see him out yet?

On Monday I saw a few Shockwaves at the Troy Meijer on Coolidge. If I get it I will wait for a sale. But I do like it. I'm also actually interested in deluxe B. His alt is the same size as the original but he transforms into a shorter bot, opposite of BBBB who is a bit longer in the front and transforms into a tall deluxe. However, I'll wait for a sale or perhaps a repaint. If he had the transformable battle mask he'd be BOS. I'm definitely interested in the red Ratchet, though I wish they would upscale the mold to Voyager. I'm also interested in Nitro BB, but in blue and silver, and preferably with a new head that could pass for Glyph. Actually, I'd love it if they did something like that to the new standard mold, but I'll settle for just about any good looking color scheme I don't have, especially if it comes with a good weapon and a lower price tag.

In any case, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of Shockwave soon. The line has just been released, and I'm sure he'll eventually end up warming shelves on sale at some point this summer. Same with Skyhammer, though I'll settle for a good repaint of that. Those are the only two voyagers I have any interest in right now. No worries. They will go on sale, and then they will be mine (maybe). I just wish Shockwave was painted the same color as the box.

Get to the Wal-Mart in Canton on Ford RD! they have a HUGE set up of DOTM. I saw 4 Skyhammers and at least 6 Shockwaves that I could see up front. They have tons of Voyagers out!

by **bigwhitey21** » Fri May 20, 2011 3:20 am

finally got home and was able to check out my Shockwave and Skyhammer. I think I have 2 new favorite voyagers! interesting transformations and everything locks into place really well. And to top it off they just look great in both of their modes. after picking up the voyager prime, I was starting to have some doubts about this line, but these guys are fantastic in my opinion

by **DeepWater** » Fri May 20, 2011 9:17 am

Picked up deluxe Starscream at the Meijer across from Lakeside. They had part of an endcap display up but either it had already been picked over or they were still assembling it.

I should get to look around the PoHo area on Mon or Tues.

I got some stuff from BBTS today. I got United Scourge. Nice figure, of course, but I can't get his wings/backpack to stick into the ports on his back. :-(

It looks okay just standing though. He'll be a good Scourge for my Sweeps. I got the RtS Legends figures. Prime, BB and Starscream are awesome. Prowl and Trailbreaker are alright. Megatron isn't bad except for the orange tip. You almost had me going, Hasbro. I thought that was a real gun until I saw the tip. :grin:

I also got the Alt Universe Hothead set. It's really nice. Looks great on Hardhead. Having some guns for him is a nice touch too.

I did pick up a Shockwave last night. I'm not impressed. I actually put him back in his box and am going to return him. I think I'm done with DOTM. I'm going to pick up the Legends 3 pack to get Rodimus, but unless they are repaints of molds that I know I like, I'm going to pass.

Kevin, I should have just sold you my Shockwave when you asked about him last night. :oops:
