Any word on if it'll be on their official site only or if they'll use the eBay store again as well?

Considering they gave out eBay store coupons, I would wager both.

On the other hand, considering they gave out ebay coupons they might not want to have all 100-200 of them redeemed on an expensive purchase like this.

I tend to err on the side of the dick move :smithicide:

Good point. Also if anybody wants to search by item and product numbers for Soundwave instead of just name, here you go:

SKU: 19038126

Done and done! Thank you, random bout of insomnia beating my sleeping medicine! :toot:

Of course, in my haste I ended up sticking with the free standard shipping instead of any kind of expediting... so now I'm in an all new kind of hell. BUT WHO CARES I FINALLY GOT ONE OF THESE THINGS WITHOUT PAYING A SCALPER :woop:

I don't suppose there's any hope that the ebay store will still sell any at 9 EST, is there? It just seems like it was never in stock on their site.

I always pay for the Takara imports because seriously gently caress TRU. I'd hate to miss out on a badass toy because they can't get poo poo right.

Well, trying to get Soundwave off TRU went about as poorly as I had feared.

TRU is sort of like K-Mart in that it always looks like a wasteland full of old unsold product that's more expensive than anywhere else and I wonder how they stay in business.

Well, I've been lucky with MPs in the past at my local Toys R Us, let's hope my luck holds up for this one. Good to know Toys R Us is still managing to mess everything up.

It'll probably do that several times. A few will trickle in this morning from canceled orders (credit card declined and such).

I was holding out hope on cheap 'wave, but gently caress I'm done. I immediately went and preordered Takara's at BBTS, because at least they know how to do online business.

Even if you pay awful scalper prices of $250 on ebay or at a con, that's still cheaper than the Takara Soundwave with all 5 takara cassettes.

I'm considering doing that. :smithicide:

I'm hoping everyone here can get his Soundwave because in my opinion, it's one of those figures every Transformer fan should enjoy.

I hope you guys are looking forward to Acid Storm clogging shelves with Soundwave nowhere to be seen, because that is exactly what happened with Thundercracker and Prime. Because hey, let's order more Thundercrackers and not many Primes because Thundercracker is the cheaper one! :downs:

And Acid Storm is a WAY more obscure character than Thundercracker. So obscure in fact, that it's arguable if he's even a character at all. That's like releasing a hot toys figure of one of the aliens that appeared in The Phantom Menace for like 5 seconds at mass retail and expecting it to sell. Acid Storm should have NEVER been released at mass retail and should have been a SDCC exclusive or something.

All 2 of you guys actually excited for Acid Storm better army build that sucker, or else he's never going away.

No man, don't you get it? He's a Seeker, and he's GREEN.

I would be all over it actually but I am mad they keep re-using that mold without fixing its shoddy chestplate looseness.
