Hasbro Toy Shop will have some up most likely after the show, as they usually do.

No no no, you're missing the point.
Take a nostalgia fueled event, like a comic convention...provide an iconic character in an iconic toy...give him lots of stuff (tapes)...and people will LOVE IT.
Collectors don't have to groan about it, because they likely have it already in one form or another, but for everyone else...it's a hook back into the hobby.
Or at least it's a snack that makes people say...'Wow, I miss having Transformers...I wonder what's on the shelves now.'

I would like a soundwave that can stand and blend in with the rest of my classic/ henkai/ universe/ figures. hell they released a new ravage,why cant they make a new classics mold for soundwave???
that would have been an awesome sdcc exclusive.

Last year I believe it was more like they were SDCC Exclusives, and if there were any extra they MIGHT have them at HasbroToyShop.com, I'm 99% sure that's how they were billed.
I would be shocked if there weren't some left. Maybe not as many as there were this past year, though.

Hasbro Toy Shop is absolutely useless for me.
They don't ship to Canada.

At last year's SDCC, they HasbroToyShop.com booth had images of everything they were selling around the booth. Many of them (like the Cobra Commander figs) had "SDCC Exclusive!" by the items. The Transformers, notably, DID NOT.
On a side note, I am pleased to note that the Transformers Collector's Club has confirmed that this will be the SINGLE-CASSETTE version of Soundwave, and NOT the double-door Soundblaster version. Intriguing...
