Blokees Transformers

Got the Wave 08 One Shall Fall case in last night, and pulled Metroplex and Shrapnel as the first two pulls. I brought a third one to unbox at lunchtime.

Both of those are good ones I think. I like that metroplex comes with the tiny prime

It's a good case packout overall, imho. I had to get both Sludges to complete my Dino Quintet, plus needed Shrapnel as the next Insecticon; but everyone here has the upgraded artic with the double-hinged knees.

First time *not* getting the chase figure in a case, lol. Here's where everybody was in the case if it's any help.

I love that Unicron head. I still need to add it to my Studio Series 86 Display.

A blurry leaked pic of the Wave 09 box appears to show his body on it, along with Bombshell; so I'll probably end up getting that case as well.

The Sharkticon does *not* have the new leg artic with the doubled knees and mid-thigh swivel.

 

[Mr_Saver]

I have like more than half of one shall fall but no unicorn head or sharkticon, so probably won’t buy more of the set. Too many dupes

 

[adrienveidt]

Dupes are for customizing, and so are unwanted singles. Here, have an Orion Prime:

And some DinoBots:

Oh, and a Sharkticon:

Don't forget the Bug Bros (so far)!

Those BW reveals are gonna be my first Defenders, I think.

AliExpress sellers have images of all the Defender Wave 6 figues. Mostly Beast Wars, I certainly want Astrotrain, Ultra Magnus, and BW Megatron, they look great. Not a bad wave.

Got a second Shrapnel to up-bash Kickback's artic since I disliked that Kickback, the coolest of the Insecticons, had the worst articulation. Had to do some fairly drastic surgery on his chest halves to get them to fit Shrappy's torso, but no other issues simply swapping other parts over - altho there is some gapping along the edges of Kicky's shin guards matching up to Shrappy's calves. I'll be on the lookout for spare new-style thighs in black; but them being light gray now isn't a big deal to me.

I have never pulled a Soundwave from a blind box, so I grabbed one from a store on AliExpress. While I was at it, I grabbed an Ultra Magnus and Shockwave.

I got my son some new riser stands for Christmas. Over the weekend he did a complete rework on his shelves of stuff.

 

[altcunningham]

Tell me about those risers.

 

[DarthDre758]

They were a TikTok shop buy, but seems like they can be bought anywhere. Simple three tier acrylic riser, that screw together.

They're sturdy and seem to hold plenty.

 

[altcunningham]

Thanks. I think it's the year I rise.

I got Soundwave, Shockwave and Ultra Magnus over the weekend and put them together today.

Soundwave is the shining version, and he comes with a small Ravage and Laserbeak.

That looks great.

I need to go through all of mine again, as I think I have close to that amount, including more than a few doubles (and even a triple or 2).
