As time and necessity permits. I've got my first Takara Tomy figure on the way from HLJ ... Air Raid. I really like the toy and like the differences from the Shockwave mold. Air Raid, it's not, but I like the toy regardless.
None of these will be page turners here on Seibertron.com so I'll most likely wait until online retailers have blow outs on them or I figure out how to get them for $20 or less. I can't pay full price for items that won't generate a lot of traffic on Seibertron.com.
On that note, United Soundwave, Transformers Collection Blitzwing and Takara Tomy's Animated Blitzwing got the gallery treatment this week as well as all of the other galleries that are getting posted this week. They'll get posted as time permits along with the 3 versions of Music Label Convoy which is what I was working on before all of these Fall of Cybertron galleries, thanks to Springer and Blitzwing.
Yes, I have every version of the Generations Shockwave mold. The differences between Takara and Hasbro's versions of 'Air Raid' are quite striking, so much so that they can easily represent different characters, not only from Shockwave, but also from each other.
I'm buying Takara exclusively now, so it will be nice to see your comparison galleries as they emerge so that I can really know what I'm missing by not buying domestic.
im so jelous i went to walmart to find anything new they had and nothing until i saw a foc soundwave hidden in a toddler section i started going crazy even people looked weird at a 26yo 6foot tall guy jumping with joy with a toy in his hand...priceless 
now seeing how good these lil fellers look i must have minions to complete soundwave
