This is the most logical post I have read here so far... Seriously, it doesn't matter if it is HasTak or a third company: they are first devoted to your pocket rather than you, so I don't get all the passionate discussion regarding HasTak X third companies. We all should be happy with the increasing of competition and the increasing of options. And yes, Hastak should watch its back: maybe there is no big challenge to its market share yet, but arrogance (as the opposite of creativity) is the death of any large company.

It's funny though. Hasbro and Takara could very easily stop the third party companies, or at the very least slow them down considerably.

Take Apple for example. Look at what they do to companies that knock off their products or even come a hair close to looking like their products. They take them to court with their highest paid lawyers and sue the crap out of them. They are one of the toughest companies out there and will pay through the nose to protect what they've made.

All it would take is a few phone calls to the online retailers and tell them, "You stop selling third party Transformer products and sell our stuff only. Or we'll just stop distributing to you."

I honestly think Hasbro likes the game though. They may put up a front and make frowny faces, but do they actually care? Maybe slightly, but they definitely aren't making a big enough move to show it.

For me it comes down to a few different things. One is which looks the best. The 3rd party MP Soundwave or the Takara version. Another thing is the price. Given the fact that both the newest MP Optimus Prime and Rodimus are around $200+, I hate to see what Takara will charge for Soundwave. They will probably include up to 4 cassettes just to raise the price even higher than it could be. I'm no opposed to lots of cassettes, but I am opposed to paying $200 or more. I simply can't afford it. If the 3rd party version wants to stay competitive they'll have to charge less than recent masterpiece Transformers. So I'm hoping the 3rd party one will be cheaper, although it isn't likely since 3rd party stuff usually costs an arm and a leg. The last thing is build quality. I have no doubt that the Takara version would have a quality build. But I have several 3rd party Transformers that are high quality as well.

Takara needs to get on the ball and release some prototype images before the 3rd party Soundwave is released, or they will undoubtedly lose some business. I will probably buy whichever comes out first, that is assuming the 3rd party Soundwave looks as good as the prototype suggests it will. If Takara announced that they will for sure release a MP Soundwave before the end of the year, then I might wait to see which is best at the best price.

Don't start saving on fort max yet...

What if the world ends this December 21?I mean what if it never happens? Or, we get a downsized version? :lol:

Regarding the discussion of 3rd PT stuff, Hasbro is against it. Or at least Aaron... In the panel, he said 3rd PT stuff aren't transformers. They're just toys. "I wish they would start thinking of their own ideas and stop copying ours". ;)

Also I'm just not going to give HasTak two cents if they don't give MPSW some modern Cassetticons. Otherwise Acoustic Wave shall be Mine

I think it will be less. When they released Brave Max BBTS had him for just over $100(like 125-150) if I remember correctly. I think he will be in the $150-$200 range.

Well how much is the mark up for reissues usually?

I mean, if I can get a fort max reissue shipped to my house (or picked up at a con or shop) for less than 300, that can be a done deal.

I know I'm gonna get 'em both for my "All Soundwave, all the time!" shelf.

There wasn't even a question of either/or, if there's a Soundwave, I WILL own it(funds and availability permitting, of course).
