Depends on which store you visit really, I went to some Targets that had at least 2 sets of the Deluxe Wave that had Terradive where as others had none at all. Good luck with your hunt!Quote:

I really wish Hasbro wouldn't do this... either have the eyes light pipe or don't...
I've tightened the hip joints so that's one complaint scratched off.
However the frosted/semi opaque cockpit is annoying me - it looks like a shoddy dye job from an abortive kitbash.
I hope the repaint has properly clear plastic.
Oh, final point - the trident initially annoyed me (I'm not that large a fan of transformers with only melee weapons) but now that I've got it in hand it reminds me more of a Jaffa staff weapon from Stargate (the from expands, and the middle 'prong' is clearly a barrel).
Regarding the cockpit I'm not so fussed about the colour, but what happens to it during the transformation where it folds up and kind of just hangs there loosely at the joint. The joint just seems fragile to me (the plastic orange bar within the foramen of neck of the plane) and I hope it won't snap. Otherwise imo the toy is pretty slick stuff.Quote:

game tonight...I finally decided too unpack Terradive and see what all the fuss is about...
And yeah...he's awesome...
Likes:
~ Sleek & Compact Jet mode...
~ West Tigers colour scheme...
~ His name...it just has a great ring too it...
~ His Trident...its just cool in a Greek mythology kinda way...
~ Creative and complex transformation...
~ Great headsculpt...
~ Heaps of articulation...
Dislikes:
~ Too much "soft plastic"
~ Lose hips joints (but that's easily fixed)
Terradive is pure 100% win...its just a shame the Tigers lost...
Now ya just gotta bring Terradive along to a Wests Tigers game! Nothing beats barracking for your team with a Transformer toy!
G1 Eject cheers for Sydney FC...

I'm actually an Eels supporter...
So...who is blue and yellow in my collection?
*Checks*
Oh...no one...
:eek:
Get Powermaster Slapdash, he looks to be the right type of yellow and blue. Or Gen1 Seaspray for an aquatic link to the eels.
It's not a common colour combination with TFs though, as I can only think of few others (that are more obscure).
whats the best way to fix his hips? I've heard super glue works, but am not too sure...
