At least I have the Takara version.

 

I got news from my ToysRUs Canada that Soundwave is discontinued.

 

Thanks to the peeps at Cybertron.ca, who are active in my region (Toronto / Canada) with the sightings, I was able to get MP Soundwave at a TRU store last week (with damaged box, hence less people grabbing it, but I am throwing the box in the garbage!!!), and to my great surpise, I love it. Just ordered the reprolabels sticker sheet for it too. It definitely goes well with Quakewave, and the minions are really great, especially Rumble and Frenzy (my favorites)!!!

 

Soundwave is back in stock on toysrus.com

 

Thanks for posting this; I'm sure there are going to be many people interested in this. He's up for ship to hom - grab him while he's still available people!

 

aaaaand, sold out.

 

That didn't take long. Glad I got mine.

 

Wow,sold out,that is very fast.

 

Man...I thought I had one. Entered all info needed but seems I must have missed a step. CC never got charged and when i try to log in it tells me that my email isn't registered.  

 

I got my Soundwave out of Toys R us layaway today (THANK YOU TOYS_R_US FOR HAVING LAYAWAY). And he is wonderful A plus. I do have a question about the cassettes. Are the cassettes that come with the TOY-R-US sound wave the same cassettes you buy in the two pack?
MP-15 Rumble & Ravage (Jaguar) Set - Transformers Masterpiece Masterpiece

 

Yes, except the usual Takara vs. Hasbro differences (TRU Soundwave is Hasbro, the cassette you linked to is Takara, with different paint apps for Rumble. Ravage is the same.)

 

I believe the only differences with the tapes is that FRUMBLE twins have paint instead of chrome, and Buzzsaw is more toy accurate yellow. I think the rest of everything is basically the same, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me guys. Goodness i am glad this guys came with my soundwave. Would have hated to drop 60-70 bucks on this little guy

 

No joke, and if you want all 4 it's 120-140 which is crazy for something that small.

 

OK, so I had this guy in my hands and passed because I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to get into collecting Masterpieces. Now I regret my decision. I'd like to know, what are the odds that we ever see a TRU rerelease?

 

Pleeeeease don't bump old News and Rumor threads unless you have news to add.


Odds are not great.

Takara might release it again some time. Maybe.

But that would cost more, since only one tape included, and they never re-released the other tapes.

 

How is a thread about MP Soundwave not the correct place to ask a question about MP Soundwave?

This ceased to be just a news and rumor thread long ago and obviously became a discussion thread about him.

 

You probably could have found a Masterpiece Soundwave thread in the toy discussion.

 

What was supposed to do start a new thread to say an opinion on the figure the thread is about? And ask a question? He's asking about the TRU version, not the Takara one.

And why not a Hasbro reissue? It wouldn't be TRU, but a Hasbro Asia release... MP-10? Yes? There is precedence.
