I had given up on finding CW Shockwave, especially after TR started showing up. Then yesterday one showed up randomly in the TRU one town over, mixed in with TR legends.

Never give up!

What's wrong with Broadside's altmodes? He carries a bunch of jets into a fight, then BECOMES A JET HIMSELF ONCE THEY ARE ALL FIGHTING SO HE CAN FIGHT MORE.

Weird find of the year, local newsagent has a buttload of Generations Powerdive in stock amongst the usual cheap toys. Even weirder because Generations was TRU only back then.

The only thing people freak out about is how he becomes an Aircraft carrier and then the thing that he should carry, which involves a lot of Mass Shifting.

I finally picked up a Ikea Deatolfs when I was visiting family in the Kansas City area last week and I am super impressed with this silly cabinet. I have no idea how but my wife says it makes my collection look more adult in the Ikea product vs all over my computer desk, all I know is I love having all my toys in a sweet shelf, everything looks so bad rear end. Now I need to find some cheap LEDs I can solder together and run some interior lighting.

My condolences.

Speaking of shelves, I love finding stores that are remodeling and getting cheap or free shelves. I just picked up one of those Beanie Baby Beanie-boo shelves cause a friend's work was getting rid of it. And while it is open to the air, it has 5 decently placed shelves with a clear plastic guard, and the top one has a bar that is meant for the sign, which is great as a bar to lean guys on. A year or so ago they got rid of their vaping stuff, so I got a 4 shelf clear acrylic cabinet thing. The top shelf on that one is perfect for Deluxes, and the bottom three are great for anything but really tall Legends (like Skrapnel).

I am in the wrong toy collection if $20 is to expensive. The only reason I am not using the Ikea lights is I like to solder, as it is something I don't get to do often, I enjoy making things and I think I could come up with a nice set of LEDs that are fairly hard to see but light each shelf nicely.

Also I am super bummed out about the upcoming Astro Train, I love his robot mode but I am just not feeling the alt modes, especially the trains. That's the problem with newer versions of your favorite bot, nothing is probably going to live up to the older models, than again Six Shot is going to be a must buy for me, I need the updated model next to my original.

Blackheart
Mar 22, 2013

I'm not sure about not feeling Astrotrain's altmodes but giving Sixshot a pass.

Anyway, new upcoming toy listings:

- Voyager Broadside, which we know about now, with an unknown wave companion (would they do the armada megs deal again and release his repaint in the same wave?)
- Voyager Blitzwing and Octane (wave 5?)

-Legends Cosmos (a new mold? unknown at the moment) and Seaspray (finally)

-Titan Masters Toraizer (that lil' Lion dude) Optimus Prime (a new Prime head?) and Ramhorn (weirdly, not a legends)

Spiderdrake

It sounded like Broadside was the only new voyager in his wave, so it'll probably be Optimus/Megatron for Wave 3, and then 2 Broadside + 1/1 for wave 4, which of course Optimuses for everyone.

I feel like Cosmos has to be a new mold, since his old mold doesn't have the play pattern gimmick and/or isn't a tape.

Rumble is in the next wave. Frenzy and Eject are rumored but don't have set waves yet.

Sixshot's alt modes have always been, let's be generous and say "Cybertronian". His TR figure looks pretty much like an updated version of his G1 modes. Astrotrain used to actually look like a shuttle and a train, now he's a decent-enough Cybertronian shuttle, and then some other thing. If not for the train-like front on the back of his feet you'd never identify that alt mdoe as a train.

I'm fine with it for Sentinal Prime since he never really had any well-established alt modes, but I also find it disappointing for Astrotrain.

If they could have worked in some way to segment him so the front and back ends were able to form a bend around the middle part, he would look amazing.
