QC issues??? As in the hip tightness that's been reported, or something else?

Just for those that think this is still rumour:

Arriving in stores in June/July, is Soundwave for AU$150 (definitely not the JP version at that price).
And it will be packed in a box that looks like a giant, blue (Soundwave) cassette player.
No word on it's contents though.
Since it is the same price as Masterpiece Optimus, it is likely to be US$100 in America.
(reason why we haven't heard anything about this from Hasbro yet? - they don't often show off retailer exclusives at Retailer Toy Fairs, unless it is something special... so we might see it at the US Toyfair, but since BotCon is in June, we might not see much of this before it gets released)

Now that's not all...
Bad news - no Sideswipe or Red Alert on the horizon. (doesn't necessarily mean they are not coming at all - just not before Soundwave)
Good news - [Links are hidden for guests. Please Register.]

Looking forward to those US Toy Fair photos guys; that or Botcon, whichever comes 1st - So those who can, make sure you take plenty of 'em.

(Also, didn't see that other thread, or that Griffin_of_OZ posted the same info)

until more concrete evidence comes out, I treat this with the biggest grain of salt in the world

Perhaps maybe try reading the posts?
