    No metal, maybe?

    That's what I was thinking. That price it's a steal.

    And this will be the one that pushes me over the edge on re-issues of toys that were originally available in the states. It would have been either Soundwave, or Sunstreaker. Maybe Sideswipe if he ever showed up. But Soundwave is too cool to pass up. And at that price. Make it two please.

    I want it in a bad way. If Santa doesn't put a reissue Soundwave in my stocking this year, I'll hunt him down and gut him.

    Wow. $29.99 has TRU learned from their mistakes and decided not to gouge prices on re-issues? I was definately going to pick this figure up unless the price was insanely high, but the $29.99 price tag is noce to hear.

    As for the Sideswipe re-issue a few of the KB-Toys near me have had this figure sitting lonely on the shelves for a while now.

    the test shot has all it's proper metal bits, so they didnt leave that out. I'm amazed that it's only thirty dollars. soundwave with soundblaster's expanded door, with laserbeak and ravage. unbelievable. the only way it could kick more ass was if rumble and frenzy were in the pack too.
