I also ordered Henkei Cyclonus (last night) so I should be getting mine soon too. Cost double the price of the local release but what are ya gonna do - that's the price of lavender over eggplant these days.
That Hot Shot is not the new Universe one, it's the original Armada version. I wanted it for a while now and also as a companion piece to the upcoming Universe remake. Not a bad figure that's full of gimmicks. Robot mode is ok and the red LED on the hand blinded me, since I didn't know it had that gimmick and I accidentally pushed the trigger and was directed right over my eye.

Indeed, I will review Waspinator. Good figure but with little play value unfortunately.

Henkei Cyclonus is indeed pricey. Did you order just the figure by itself? The shipping will kill you. I think both Universe and Henkei are pretty equal, but the purple chrome wings and the chrome on Nightstick edges out Universe a little. The purple is a little too light for my liking on the Henkei version.
