Seeker 3.0…and still no waist swivel!!!

In your logic you missed MP-6, MP-3G, Walmart MP-3, and MP-3 US Version. So that should make him version 7.0
Add in MP-11S, MP-11A, MP-11T, and MP-11SW

And MP-11 is a retool, so not a full new mold

That's not how version numbers work.

MP-03, MP-07, MP-11.
Ohh yes, the middle one was just a repaint.
mx-01 archon
No.

Isn't this like version 4?

The torso on MP SS v2 is almost as deep as MP Inferno. Makes sense if it has to hide the fuselage. Though that's pretty deep

Not finished enough for me to tell if I like it or not.

Oh man if TT Earthrise Thundercracker ends up being that shade of blue I might definitely be completely screwed.

It gives people the opportunity to feel really important because they have something "that's not supposed to be out there"

I love how the photo for Starscream says, "CONFIDENTIAL" in big, red print… But the photos are public.

Did I just hear someone screaming for some ice cream?

…at double the price of US retail, so in other words scalper prices.
It's not that this stuff is completely impossible to find, it's that it's impossible to find for the price mainline toys should cost. I bit the bullet and got the 2-pack for $90 a while ago (still MISB) and then found one in-store yesterday that I opened. I'm not upset for what I paid to make sure I had the characters — after all, Takara prices — but it's hard to make the argument that mold is really worth $45 or $50.

When should we be expecting Wave 3 proper?

I still find it funny how after more than a year of butthurt of how both WFC Skywarps are exclusives, heres Takara offering both at the same time.

In software development, where that numbering system is most popular, decimal numbers represent revisions to a previous version, while whole number revisions represent a whole new version/major content addition.
MP-11 is a "1.5" revision since it still borrows a lot of the tooling from the previous MP-03 tooling. This new figure is version 2.0 because it's all-new.
