Built the Shining wave 2 box. The light-up effect is great for Prime and Sunstorm, and Soundwave and Beachcomber are thick enough in the chest that it works, but Sideswipe and Grimlock don't work out so great. Might paint the inside of their chest plates to focus the light a bit more. And also paint up Ravage and Laserbeak.
Of course, now my non-Shining Soundwave is a bit redundant. Debating if I want to try trading him for another figure or paint him as Soundblaster.

Finally got the time to put the big Prime together. Thought I'd throw some pics up as I built him.
It's not often I have a day where I don't have homework or other obligations. Been looking forward to this build for a while.
So final thoughts now that I'm done with the build.
This was very easy. the pieces came away from the tree with little effort, no need for clippers, though I did snip some bits of flash off.
The instructions were very easy to follow and well laid out. The trees were all marked.
This is an excellent kit for a younger builder. Early teens could do this with no problem.
Poseability is very good, the accessories are nice, the light up feature is really bright.
Highly recommended.

So, I guess Walmart is going to be actively carrying these going forward? Spotted a couple cases at Walmart, seemingly with a regular spot on the shelf. Right now, Walmart is getting Galaxy Wave 5 (TF One).
Picked one up, it was Bumblebee.

What a coincidence. My usual Wamart also randomly had a case of the TF1 Galaxy Version on the shelf, and I've never mucked with one of these, so for five bucks (and not being the fully-chibi ones) it was worth a shot. Got Bee; real quick assembly, functional basic articulation, not bad for a non-transforming desk dude of a bot. The thing stopping me from going to grab one or two more is, of course, blind boxes - I could assume that out of a mostly-fresh box, I grabbed the only Bee, but that also assumes it's the same box if I go back.
I like how simple and functional they are as figures, based on my sample size of one, and I'd love to see other robots in this style.
So . . .
Got my replacement helmet from Blokees customer service. Yay, I have Megatron now.
My local walmarts now also have cases of TFOne Blokees. They also have 10 dollar larger kits of BB and Prime. I went ahead and grabbed the Prime.
it's RotB Prime. Here's the interesting part. He is bigger and more detailed than Galaxy versions of Blokees. But he uses the same torso core! it's one of the light up cores so when you shake him his eyes light up. It is another really fun build and at 10 bucks, I consider it a bargain. I'm very pleased overall.
Anyway, here's a picture of all my Blokees Optimus. Optimi?
