I didn't get that email, interesting. Kinda odd that there's two different light up points, wouldn't the hand/gun shine through the barrel? Then again, this explains the barrel being connected to the main figure.

Out of curiosity, does that chart refer to the animation models of the G1 cartoon?

Indeed, that's right on target for a screen accurate purple for Shockwave. It makes me wonder why the official promotional images make it look so much paler?

Its the lighting. Purple is really hard to capture correctly. It looks really perfect there though. Its not dark like the G1 toy, but far from being Lavender. I cant describe the shade other than saying that its perfect. Oh wait, I know, that's the colour of typical grape flavour on the boxes for kids medecine. Not the best example but its what I always imagine a perfect purple to look like. We all know that medecine isnt grape flavour, its purple flavour.

This gives me hope that Takara's Legends Galvatron may yet come with a much better (e.g., not lavender) purple color. If that's the case, he's a shoe-in for my collection over the Hasbro version. He's got slightly more detailed paint apps on the "Transtector" and paint, period, on the "Headmaster."

PC monitor images aren't as accurate as those, let's say in the Hobbymags images though still, it beats the item seen first hand.

Amiami is asking for payment now.

Ohhhhhh snaps!!

I guess I might as well wait for MP Ratchet to ship Shockwave, I'll see what TFL wants to do when it comes in.

Time to empty the Private Warehouse.

What else will be arriving with your MP Shockwave?!

Me too. I found the shipping very reasonable for a supposedly big box (around 12-15$ US).

MP Hot Rod, Thunderhoof, Quillfire, Megatronus, & Fracture.
What's annoying is I got Thunderhoof locally and didn't realise I'd ordered him. *sigh*

Very nice, haul pics will be posted!! Also, I used to buy Star Wars figures in duplicate without realizing I already had it ordered or purchased somewhere else..now some of them are for sale (and more to be added)!!

I just checked, it looks like I already paid for shipping so I SHOULD be getting a notification soon I guess. Hopefully I'll have him by the second week of April.
