It looks more and more like these are going to be a wave of deluxes near August or Sept, since Wave 4 is scheduled for April/May, and the 3rd wave of Voyagers is Astrotrain and Springer in FoC designs...

I'll take what I can get though as long as they aren't TRU exclusives. All these years of asking for this just shouldn't end with buying them from scalpers on ebay.

If you're a friend of mine of Facebook, I just posted up some photos of my box of old(ish) Transformers - found my TFA crew! A G1 Jazz, all my Alternators and the ole 'Activators' game pieces. Lots of fun!!

Still hoping foe some actual pictures of the MP Prowl.
Personally, I'd rather seen him as an updated Z rather than the old Datsun, but I'm probably in the minority for nostalgia on that one. Plus, the Z has been pretty well covered by the Alternity line, I believe.
Speaking of which, got my Alternity Ultra Magnus in and the thing is fantastic. Really love it, and how solid and heavy the die cast is. Detail is gorgeous, and I love how complex the paneling for transformation looks, even though it really isn't bad at all.

Still waiting on my Fansproject City Commander armor/trailer and Henkei/Classics Ultra Magnus.
Put in an order for the first two Fansproject not-Stunticons and Perfect Effect pink and blue not-Arcee, both. No one tell my gf how much I spent...

A couple of notes.

FoC Starscream is one of my fav toys! I don't have the 1,000 dollars to buy the classics seeker design from a few years back, so I have settled on this guy and I just love it. Transformation is very simple and fun, like most of rest of the new generations.

But I regret to report that any rumors of Sideswipe being an improvement over the last use of his mold are greatly misleading. He still hates himself as much as WFC BB or Cliffjumper even though he ony has a few steps and those parts of the sequence where you have to tab the arms back and fold the chest area back into robot mode will still send you running and screaming.

His arms basically just pop off while trying to transform them so you may as well just take em off and fold them around and then tab them back on. (Saw a youtube where it happened to the reviewer over and over and the dude still told me how great the toy was, LOL!)

I'm starting to think that since MTMTE has showed us that cybertronians can be suicidal(Whirl, Red Alert), this toy must have caught the bug, and is trying to get me to throw him against the wall or just break him through trying to simply follow his instructions.

i saw a few reviews of sideswipe but despite all its flaws i would still want it on my display. i really want the pathblaster. its much cheapet in the states then here so thats why i want my wife to pick it up. i dont want to pay the price it is here. but i agree it looks frustrating.

If you dont want him to do anything and have him just stand on your display he would look cool, You could have him holding the pathblaster in both hands so it doesnt fall down to the side.

I have seen reviews of Jazz (FOC) and am wondering for those that have him is he worth it?

Im thinking of picking him up instead of FOC Blaster.

Wow you are lucky to be getting the MP Soundwave. I take it you saw the pic I posted of him?

Amazing detail. Worth every penny I say.

Yeah Blaster is voyager class as opposed to Jazz who is deluxe so is a lot more expensive. I originally was going to get Blaster and Kickback here and get my wife to pick up Sideswipe and Air Raid in the States.

I might still go along with that plan.

I like how when I preordered MP Soundwave he was $40 less than he is now. He arrived this morning and its strange but I was more excited by Laserbeak. G1 Soundwave was arguably the best in the entire line so the MP isn't that dissimilar. Laserbeak on the other hand is virtually a perfect Transformer. So detailed and his altmode works so well he is truly stunning. He even has the little spy camera coming out of his head..

If offered the choice between FOC Jazz or Sideswipe I'd go with Jazz. The body was designed to be Jazz, not Sideswipe. Sideswipe being one of the few characters actually redesigned for WfC/FoC makes me feel that repainting anther seperate redesign into him is cheap and lazy.
Given a choice, I'll always go with whomever the mold was intended to be on conception.

But then, the Takara Jazz is also much better than the Hasbro one.
