Yeah, that Prime and no, he's nowhere near as big. Check out the feedback section. Couple threads dedicated to the new Prime mold over there.

What about Japan makes them so much more likely to buy a Soundwave than us? Fascination with robots I guess? Origin of the show?

Stronger collectors market. TakaraTomy is more prone to releasing smaller runs of more expensive figures.

at least I hope he will be.

Oh, then I guess his first alt mode in the G1 cartoon wasn't a lamppost... it was a crucifix.

Didn't Hot Rod end up about $80? Given Soundwave is about the same size, and also has a little robot I'd say that's a better gauge.

Only after the obligatory TRU price hike. Release price was $60 or $70. (and I want to say $60)

This will be the best Masterpiece when it comes out. They will make a Soundblaster, you can bet on it.

Hasbro would be stupid to not sell soundwave in the US, but no announcement has been made so far. Maybe something will be announced at the nycc, but they could wait till sdcc to make it official.

I wonder what - if any - differences there will be between the jp and us releases.

If they are identical there will be some TF collector tears.
