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

Folks, please take note of the way this is being described. Last year's exclusives - Universe Nemesis Prime and Titanium Skywarp - were described as HasbroToyShop.com exclusives that premiered at SDCC. This is being described very explicitly as an SDCC exclusive. They may or may not be available on the web site afterwards...

I do take offense at their description of this as the "original 1984 version of the toy"... since this is clearly the later, Soundblaster version, colored in original Soundwave colors.

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.

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.'


To build on that, remember that Soundwave and Ravage will be hitting the shelves soon as a ROTF preview figure. If this exclusive reminds the non Transformers fan who he is then they will snap up the preview figure when it is released and excite them about the upcomming movie. It is a good marketing ploy by Hasbro. Part of me does wish they substituted Ravage and Laserbeak for Rumble and Frenzy but what you gonna do.

i like it, but im aliitle upset that hasbro is going to release ANOTHER reissue of soundwave. Aren't they the ones who said its hard to market soundwave with his cassette player alt mode??? Then why release a reissue???
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.

The reason they can't/wouldn't do something like that is because these "exclusives" are pretty much exclusively repaints of existing figures. Once in a while they will toss us a bone and give us a new bodypart such as a head. There are 2 reasons it is done this way. The first reason is simply cost, for the amount of figures they would make for an exclusive (which would be much smaller than a regular run) they'd lose their shirt making the mold. The second reason is that if you make a cool enough exclusive, especially of a figure we've been waiting for and it sells out, there will be collectors all over complaining "Why didn't Hasbro make that figure available for everyone for $9.99"

I hope that helps.

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...
