Yep. Couldn't find them anywhere a few months back. Now shelfwarming everywhere.

For me I want my own little Shark army but I have trouble justifying paying $19 for one Scout (I'm going to keep calling them Scouts, to me Legions/Legends will always be the size of the tiny little RiD figures that are out atm) let alone at least nine of the same one, especially when Deluxes are twice (ish) the size for only $6 more. I wont even get into Takara prices for army building.
Anyway TL;DR I'd have at least nine, for the right price
I did 3 hasbro and 3 takara. Was considering just one Takara but then realised that it'd be against sharkticon 'Nature' to have a "leader" so they can all be equals.
I'm beginning to find these shelfwarming in stores now with little or no Kickbacks and Bumblebees... and the revision for wave 4 has Gnaw in it as well... probably for the small percentage of collectors and customers who were wanting to buy more than one.
I understand Bumblebee being snapped up faster than Gnaw, but what is the deal with Kickback being more popular as well, when both Gnaw and Kickback are robotic animals that need an 80s fan to understand or appreciate what they're alt-modes are meant to be.
Most if not every fan probably already owns at least one Bumblebee toy in their collection, but perhaps fewer own a Kickback. I am speaking from a more casual collector's POV - someone who doesn't care about collecting multiple toys with the same name.
I felt like this was the best place to share this... creation I found on facebook. Thanks to Mikey from TFCCA for sharing
