Just opened one of my Shockwaves tonight. Each one of these recent MP's that I'm opening is making me wish I could buy two of each MP from now on (one to display and the other to stay in the box). But that's not going to happen so I'll enjoy seeing the freed one's in my display.

Loved the purple, and I didn't feel the lack of paint made it look cheap. Nice weight in hand, especially good feel in laser mode. The transformation was so easy and intuitive, I barely looked at the instructions. Another G1 toy I never owned but now have the new and improved model.
