Argh!

That's awesome! I used to to the same thing when I worked there.

Why the hell is T30 Gears so expensive?!

Because of us. I saw that dude so many times on shelves, wish I'd stock piled them. Siege being a G1 orgy has got my spidey sense tingling that we'll see a more accurate Gears before this trilogy is over. well something is tingling

"Warning: Skalor"? :lol:

(Yes I know Skalor is one of those prehistoric fish that I still can't spell properly and not a catfish, but as far as I'm aware you don't get warnings for those...)

QUICK! Back on track!

Post a haul!

Three beauties that came in throughout the course of this past week.
Really digging these Siege Leaders!
The one in the middle is Diaclone Battle Buffalo.
Need to carve out a serious block of time to dig in to B.Buff. So many modes!

I will "love" them each in my own way.

I think Siege Shockwave by himself is an amazing figure, too bad they couldn't design him so that he wouldn't need all the extra crap for the alt mode. I don't like how the shoulder pads look that way so I had them pegged on sideways instead. With the 2 extra cannon arms he looks like a victim of one of his own twisted experiments. :lol:

This guy arrived today (Finally. Protip: If you buy from eBay seller atencios, expect shipping delays/ Took him nine days to ship Dinobot, eight days to ship Primal). He came with a tail half... but unfortunately, it's the right-hand one, which the tail I got already has. Anyone have a spare left-hand tail half and fancy a trade?

At least a half dozen times now, at various stores, I've picked Shockwave up, talked myself into getting him, walked 3 or 4 aisles away, talked myself out of it, and put him back.

I want this figure a lot, but I know I'll be able to find him for much cheaper later on. I have with all recent leader figures, as they just don't sell well in my area, and Amazon or HTS always have them for the cheap after some time. I want it, but I just can't justify paying 50 bones for him... :-(

I don't blame you. The figure itself is amazing, but not worth 50 bucks. Do I regret buying him? No, I don't. I get why he cost as much as he did, and it's not like the extra parts are useless. But I would have preferred a voyager figure by itself at the voyager price.

Magnus, on the other hand, was worth 50 to me. He's sharp, solid and pretty hefty. I just wish he was a bit more posable. I don't care for the truck mode much, but both robot modes are pretty sweet.

Well, they needed somebody to be a Leader-class Decepticon.

Given the in-between size of his main robot and the look of his add-on parts, I highly suspect Siege Shockwave is a hasty tweak of the Evolution design prepared for PotP in case he won the poll, and having that design ready is why he got the spot.

I personally think a "spaceship" Megatron would have been ideal considering, but oh well.

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 2:24 am

Yeah, I would have preferred a leader class Megatron as well. It's been a long time since we got a decent leader Megatron outside of TLK. Hell, I can't even remember a good leader Megatron. The CW figure is a POS.

Could explain why he's smaller than a Voyager but bigger than a Deluxe like Orion Pax, Hot Rod, and Primal.

Shockwave does need a retool. I've been saying this for a long time, but knowing now how Shockwave's altmode looks without the armor I think they could very easily turn him into Super Megatron as an SDCC or Amazon exclusive. I really want that.

As for actually buying Shocky or Magnus, I've seen them at Walmart, but I haven't paid full price for a Leader in a long time and I don't intend to start now. They'll be on sale at Target or Amazon and maybe Rollback at Walmart eventually.

With HTS down and Siege hitting my area in decent saturation, I broke down and bought this guy.

Going save him for a rainy day.

and possible return if HTS decides to be generous again

He's a decent figure. I got mine mainly to complete my Maximus family.

Nitro Magnus!
