You're not the only one, can't wait to get him. Seems like I just might be turning into a MP Soundwave collector, assuming they use the mould again.

Might have to wait until a certain date before they can list them. It's happened before with Platinum sets.

TRU wanted $220 for him. You read that right - $220. Are they joking? Granted, Times Square prices are jacked up, but that still probably means TRUs nationwide will list him for $199.95.
The box was all banged up, so I left it there. I'd pay up to $150 for this piece, and I predict he'll be discounted at some point once he's more widely available.

The one I bought from Hong Kong on ebay a couple weeks ago was about $160 after shipping. Sounds like that was the way to go!

I may have to go that way myself, even though I'd rather buy a case from TRU. I'm going to give it a few weeks... if he's distributed in this area remotely as well as YOTH Prime was distributed (at least among the 3 NYC TRUs that are easily accessible to me), I'll be seeing lots of Soundwave soon. And again, that $220 price is just unsustainable...

It sports really a "acquired taste".

I can understand wanting to buy from retail, but the ship sailed for me years ago with the stupid mark-ups we get in Australia. For MP's though it really does seem like importing from Asia is always the cheapest option. There have been a lot of U.S. collectors saying that they always get them cheaper that way even with international shipping (for the Takara versions at least).

I've been shifting a lot of my Takara purchases to importers, sure, but there's always the allure of the hunt!
YOTG Soundwave is supposed to be a domestic release here, so it would make sense to buy him here... but that retail price came as a huge surprise. Again, it was the only one I've seen, so maybe it will drop to YOTH Prime levels ($99-$120) once it's more widely distributed and/or shelfwarms.

That is an insane price for a domestic release, more like what would be expected in my area, but it also has to fall a lot to be in the ball park of reasonably priced. Hopefully it is just one retailer getting the stock a little early and trying to gouge collectors before the competition gets theirs.

i like these and want to get them. and im confident ill see them locally (eventually). but if the in-store (USD) prices reported are going to be relative to us canadians, ill just go the route of other online retailers. after conversion and shipping, ive already found soundwave for less than 200 CAD.

Phew! That's a relief. Glad I'm not the only one.
But yes, any two of these additional paint apps would elevate YOTG Soundwave to epic proportions:
-Decepticon symbol on his chest
-Door outline
-Faceplate
-Two lines on either side of the door

I agree that some additional paints aps would've helped, but some more of the clear plastic being "butterscotch" ( ) would've helped a lot.
BTW, I still think YOTH Prime looks terrible

I really don't like the gold on him. MP-10 is one of my favs, but the gold just kills it for me. The clear plastic trailer was a miss for me as well.
Ohhh, the irony of not liking clear plastic in this thread when I've also paid for YotG SW

Well, that explains it! He's really stunning in person. I thought I'd hate the gold chrome too, but the color scheme as a whole is remarkably appealing. I don't care for the trailer so much, but Optimus himself is a really beauty!

I think they are awesome because they are weird and ugly. I'm leaning more towards Prime 'cause I love that mold. I just don't think I can justify those prices, If they are still hanging around on sale (like the YOTH starscreams at my local TRU) I will gladly add their strangeness to the pile.megatronus wrote:Am I really the only one who likes these?

Sometimes I regret choosing the Asia exclusive MP Prime over YOTH.

faceplate yes. but im ok with the window/cassette door BECAUSE the decepticon/YOTG symbol is pretty cool, and with a cassette inserted is actually visible. i dont mind missing one of his cronies either since rumble/frenzy and lazerbeak/buzzsaw are all the same.megatronus wrote:Phew!

I did not realize the symbol/door-outline/lines-on-side-of-door were done up in silver.
Touche, Hasbro.
As soon as the BBTS stock was announced, I ordered 2 Soundwaves. That seems to be the cheapest domestic price, until TRU's inventory goes on sale (maybe). Considering I paid $160 for the first stock of Takara's MP Soundwave, paying the same amount for a more limited deco and 5 cassettes isn't as big a ripoff in my head as it should be.

I found it at my local Canadian TrU. But 200$ is completely ridiculous for it.
If you don't own that amazing mold, you should look for either the original G2 Lazer Optimus or RiD Scourge. Both are way better looking and cost far less.

Well nowhere in Nashville or Bowling Green KY has ever had him in stock, so anybody outside of NYC but still in the States find any?
I also already have the other versions of the mold... not looking for a price debate, just the figure
