Well, I got the Shockwave/Orion set today. No complaints, beyond the fact that I wish I could free these guys from their cardboard prison already.
Yeah, I got Orion and Shockwave today too but not sad about it at all. Its weird to have your hand forced in to buying a figure but I liked both sets, i just *really* wanted miner Megs and again, I'm a sucker for Ratbat. Their time will come.
Oh and I had ordered Axelgrease on a whim and she came in too. Good robot day.

The other day I bought Core class Legacy Shockwave, he a nice little figure, I kind of gone off the core class figures of late, I wasn't intersted in the Dinobots and just waiting for the retool into DinoKing, Shockwave, they clearly used the siege desgin alt mode as a base to downsize him and he works pretty well, plus he was fairly cheep in my local toy store, I just wondered in there for a quick browse the other day and they had more TFs than I seen in quite a while, thou most of it, being ROTB and the ones for much younger fans, thou there was a lone SS BB movie Wheeljack sat on the shelf, but I chose to pass on him, I like the look of the alt mode, dislike the look of the robot mode which is why I never been a big fan of the live action looks, much of the time, they always just look plain ugly, they say realism as a excuse but I wonder!
I keep forgetting Core Shockwave exists. I never saw anything about it after the reveal.
He's literally shelfwarming up here. I keep looking at him when there's ONCE AGAIN absolutely nothing new and going... "hhhmmmm... nah. I don't need another shockwave".
Core Class is slightly better, since he doesn't have anything blocking his gun mode handle, meaning more then combiners can weild him.
Core gets points for being obviously based on a larger, more expensive toy. That's inherently fun.
Speaking of box art, I assume we all knew that the two boxes compliment one another?
Yes. That was shown in the Hasbro Pulse fanstream
I did not know that. So neat: thank you.
Somehow I never noticed Nova Prime in the background behind Orion there.
I'm guessing its a hint we'll see Nova Prime in the near future, I'm guessing he might be revealed at Comic Con or the next fanstream!
Who's goldyboots on the opposite side? (Xaaron?) And does it say "freedom is the right of all civilized beings" on their podium?
From the Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime mold, no less.
A statue of Prima.
That's a statue of Primus from the IDW comics.
The other leaked listings for the line
Leader Class Nova Prime (speculated to be a Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime retool)
Voyager Class Nacelle (rumored to just be a straight up Siege Seeker redeco)
Javelin vs Kaskade 2-pack (Javelin is an obscure character, Kaskade is basically a nobody, so they really could go anywhere with this set.)
