Hooray for Japan.

Meanwhile, anyone not have Shockwave yet? Just hit your local Target, I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty of him! For full price of course, because they can't mark him down in the computer without marking down ER Leaders, and they can't be arsed to slap markdown stickers on him.

Honestly, I'd have got him, but I only had so much spare spending cash for the trip and Snapdragon was higher priority.

Hooray for all of us. More exclusives on the market means lower aftermarket prices. We've seen this a few times already. The Rainmakers eBay prices should come down a lot when these are released.

Fair point. Most of my brainpower in that post was devoted to talking about Shockwave being the new Mudflap (which makes me sad because I like SIEGE Shocky's design). When I went to Target to look for Snapdragon, there were four SIEGE Shockwaves on the shelf.

With any luck, the appearance of Shockwave's Siege body and armor in the Generations Selects manga will get more people to buy him off of the store shelves.

Eh, gonna wait for Clearance or Ross. Maybe I can snag a Prime too. *leaves them at Target*

Shockwave was the "in every cases" bot of Siege. That's why he's so everywhere.
Shockwave is awesome, but if there's too much...
Meanwhile, Cybertron Optimus Prime was just a one-shot deal. #-o

Yeah, Hasbro dropped the ball there. Personally I love that Shockwave and don't care about Galaxy Prime, but I'm just 1 fan. If they had released more of Galaxy Prime in subsequent waves, he would have sold better. Most fans love that update.

Plus, I would have loved to get Galaxy Prime overstock on super clearance at less than 30$CAN.
Oh well...

The problem with Clearance is they'd have to take the trouble of using stickers, since all non-SS Generations Leaders are the same to the computer :roll:

(a good example of this is a lingering Combiner Wars Skywarp ending up marked up to the PotP Leader price).

I really hope they do take that effort, since Shockwave filling up the shelves holds back Earthrise Leaders getting put out (meaning poor Astrotrain gets doubly shafted)... :BANG_HEAD:

Siege Shockie is bad, especially at Target, but Siege Megs takes the cake for me.

At Walmart yesterday, all 3 flavors of Siege megs on the shelf at once.

Myself and several others have had that experience. You just have to laugh when you see it. The worst for me are damaged packages, that they try to tape up *hoping" they will sell. There is a Siege mangled Hound that's been sitting there for at least 6 months, I keep moving it to the front of whatever peg it's on. I think I'm just going to write a note on a post-it and tell them to get rid of it. Having worked at retail previously I know they have a return category for damaged goods. There's a Netflix Siege Hotlink that is the same. The package is not as bad, but with the tape all over it, nobody's going to buy it.

Geez... Seeing that mess makes me think regular Earthrise Megatron should be canceled flat-out, and the G2 redeco moved from Selects to the retail line in his place.

Well, if they cancel it now, at least I have mine.

Finally found a Ross with a Siege Springer. They also had two Siege Screamers and a few of the Cyberverse Hot Rod and Sharkticons pack.

Has anyone recreated this scene with SIEGE Apeface and PotP Rampage?

Every time I see my Apeface on the shelf, this is the panel I think of! Every time! However, don't own Predaking in any form, so I can't. Does Apeface's arm detach easily?

His ape shoulders are on ball joints.

Good to know. I have yet to open most of my smaller Siege and ER collection, (Horrorcons included) I'm making myself wait until the entire trilogy is finished and I will open ALL the figures I got in one day. It will be a glorious day when I will have no outside disturbances from anyone. Just me and my toys alone in a room. Like it used to be before I was forced to become an adult. :-D

This thought crossed my mind too haha! I don't own Predaking either though. But maybe someday!

In other Siege fun, I played around with Soundblaster and Spectro/Spyglass/Viewfinder and made a little base mode.

Messing with astrotrain accessories and created launch ststion mode.

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Fri Nov 27, 2020 4:06 am

Well, it already was one. But you've given it a nice support crane.

That's a pretty cool base, Starseeker!

I think Wipeout/Necro looks good on Apeface

Holy crap you actually found a fun use for that unnecessary stuff! Good job! I can't help but think it might be better for Jetfire to wield it, though...
