Masterpiece Soundwave

I agree, but its nice that Hasbro has gone to the Takara style boxes. Now you can store them better if need be. I still have Thundercracker and Optimius' packaging, but it's pretty lame compared to the reusable boxes of Soundwave and Acid Storm. By the way, where did you read the stories about damaged Soundwaves? I want to read up on that.

Look at the customer reviews on TRU.com. Almost every one of them are complaining about beat up boxes and poor shipping. A bunch of folks added pics of their "trashed" boxes.

I got Acid Storm last week and all of three on the shelf did have some kind of damage. However, I prefer this style of box to those ugly clear boxes that just look ugly once you've opened them and taken out the toy.

I definitely agree!!!!

still tinkering with mine to discover all his features. his hip joints have me worried that they'll break one day when i swing his legs forward...and Rumble and Frenzy always gets stuck inside him. but otherwise this thing is utterly amazing. Solid in both modes. The working controls on his cassette player mode were a nice touch too. He's got so many gimmicks that the instructions dont even touch up on

I'll be honest, I haven't even transformed Soundwave yet. I know, that's bad!!! LOL!!! My Frenzy gets stuck too. Rumble hasn't been inside yet. The instructions are worthless. I had to read Fwoosh.com's review to realize that Rumble and Frenzy's pile drivers connect to the little silver piece and then plug into Soundwave like a external thumb drive. And just think, we didn't have to pay $59 for two cassettes!! I love his guy!!! Grimlock has always been my favorite out of my MPs, but SW might take that spot!!!!

Well, at least I know I'm not alone in the hunt. I've missed getting one on two occassions so far. Hopefully I'll have better luck this week.

The only TRU near me that had gotten them in and had the price tag on the shelf... I went there yesterday and the price tag was removed. Already those gold box figures were there so maybe I've missed the window.

I'm still keeping a eye out for you all. I did pick up another one a week ago, but it was for my brother.

I have a MP Soundwave I just picked up today. If you need a Soundwave, I will sell him at cost plus shipping. PM me. Please don't respond if you already have one. I picked it up for someone who hasn't been able to get one yet. If you need feedback, contact Lord Atmo as I got one for him and shipped it out. First person to PM will get first dibs and I'll give you my PayPal email address. If it doesn't work out, then it'll go to the second responder and so on. Be advised I can't ship him out until Monday, and I shipped Lord Atmo's Soundwave Parcel Post because USPS wanted $35 for priority shipping.

Shipping shouldn't be more than $15 for parcel post. He'll be bubble wrapped for protection.

[Fatherdeth]

He has been taken.

Its cool. I'm thinking the second release of the Tomy one is the way to go, since the price is about the same. And the individual cassettes are going for decent prices on Ebay.
