    It could only be better. Especially since he wouldn't come in a ginormous box like MP-10 did. He'll be in smaller one like TC, Rodimus, and Grimlock. Which means Hasbro will be able to pack more of him per case(4?), which means more SW's could be shipped, which means more SW's at retail.

    And at the lower, normal MP price point. Not the high MSRP of MP-10 that I'd wager probably scared away a number of TRUs out there.

    And to think that back in the 80's TRU made room for Fortress Maximus, USS Flagg, and the Terrordrome......boy times have changed.

    TRU was more of a huge warehouse back then. TRU's are half the size they used to be now.

    Hah... I get it.

    Well, MP-Thundercracker happened. I just really wish Hasbro would work with another company besides TRU to release anything MP related.

    Only saw Grimlock once, Rodimus not at all, and Thundercracker is like TRU's version of Skywarp.

    The problem comes when the character is iconic and TRU isn't around as much as say Target or Walmart. Had say Grimlock, Rodimus, and Optimus been a Walmart or Target item, I'd probably seen them more often. If one store is out, another probably would have them.

    With Soundwave being iconic, I expect it will be a pain to find. Given there are some that do come in early, buy any figure that the store might have, and then triple the price online for them. Then there are those that buy one to keep in box, another to keep in alt mode, and then another to keep in robot mode. So for those that like myself just wants one, becoming a bit tricky.

    Then there is TRU online, which kind of scares me given how MP Prime was handle by them.
