    $190? Glad I don't want this thing. I only paid $170 to get my MISB Hasbro Soundwave on Ebay a few weeks after release.... $190 for Pimpwave ain't happening.

    I will believe that price point when I see it. I do expect a markup compared to the original deco MP Soundwave's price though given how quickly those flew off the shelves and sold out online.

    :lol 

    this thing is kinda an ugly novelty to begin with. I'd be in around the same price as soundwave was (120 or so), but completely fine skipping it at that price.

    to much other good stuff coming to care that much about it.

    I agree with the deco being ugly and poorly thought out. It doesnt need to homage anything, but it should at least look cohesive frokm a coloring standpoint. Clear and orange just don't go together. It looks off, IMO

    Maybe we can wait it out like their year of the horse Optimus Prime and get it for less than $100.

    LOL hell no. I figured it would be ridiculously overpriced, but that's exceeding my very low expectations. It isn't worth triple digits to me anyway, but 190 is just batshit crazy.

    I actually thought that YOTH prime had a pretty reasonable deco and price though

    I bought my Year of the Goat Soundwave for £125 and have no regrets, that's the same as Soundwave went for over here in the UK

    i still say it would've been cool if they simply released soundblaster with ratbat instead of this garbage.

    That means it'll probably be about that much for the Prime too..

    That Chinese market must REALLY be profitable for them to mark this up that much.

    That, or TRU is REALLY hurting financially.

    If TRU feels $200 is a viable price for Legacy Titanus, they'll charge $190 for a premium TF.

    Don't pay it. Don't ever pay it. Let it tank at stores and rot on shelves, let it tank. Don't give TRU justification to do this, and hopefully Hasbro figures out a better way of getting these out to collectors.

    I wouldn't pay 9 dollars for it, let alone 90.
