I have 1,2,3,4,5 (WFC) and 10 (Straxus). This wave is mostly uninspiring to the G1-inspired-Classics collector, Straxus being the only relevant one (which i haven't opened yet). I'm much more excited for future waves, starting with the next.
The metallic paints on WFC is nice and adds an addiional perceived level of niceness and quality in my eyes. I'm much more happy displaying these then their dull Generations counterparts. Although, Cybertronian Prime's robot mode is a bit disappointing as his shoulders and some bits are just red plastic, not metallicized. He shines much nicer in alt mode. Soundwave is nice too, but the gray used on him is very reminiscent of Hasbro Gray™. The pink neon highlights on all the figures is quite striking and nice. I haven't opened BB & CJ yet either.
Paint apps are better than Hasbro on the average, but not perfect. My CJ has some blemishes on the plate his head rotates on. The deluxe package is pretty lame. I generally a packaging appreciator, but this fails, in shape, design and [lack of] artwork.
I have much higher expectations for the next wave, which includes Grapple, Jazz & Tracks. My jury is still out as to how well United will integrate with Henkei until I get these.
