    Yea, I was checking RK and their price was still reasonable, just don't know what their shipping to me would be, and how their CS is. Anyway, thanks again everyone, just could have sworn that when Sideswipewas first put up for pre-order that he was less expensive, but oh well.

    I ummed and arred about MP Soundwave for so long that he's now shot well and truly out of my grasp.

    Which, actually, brings an odd variety of relief.

    I just ordered MP12 Sideswipe last night from Hobby Search, they invoiced me this morning and it came out to be $77 shipped to California. I have to wait 2 weeks but it beats paying $91 from BBTS.

    *Ave Ventura*Oh RE-HEH-HEEAAALLLYYYYY..*Ace Ventura* Now THAT is something to post about. I may have to look into that. Do they have preorders for Red and Soundwave up as well I wonder..

    EDIT: AAAAAAAnnnd of course when I go to see if they have any.. They don't.. Damn. I did email them to find out if they'll have any back in stock any time soon, though. So here's hoping! I wouldn't mind paying under $80 shipped for this..

    $77 shipped is nice. Wish I could have got on that.

    I did get Soundwave for $144.95 on TFSource. This was before they price adjusted it, but they were cool enough to honor the preorder price at the time.

    Yea, definitely will be keeping my pre-order with bbts for Soundwave, but for red, and hopefully Sideswipe, I'm going over seas, I think.

    amiami had MP-12 for $63 shipped...and with its half-assed paint job it probably wasn't worth more than that.

    Oh ok I must have gotten the last one then. I did get order confirmation and everything last night. So hopefully they don't cancel the order.

    I'm still afraid of the whole rodimus version 2 situation for all masterpieces. I would rather wait and pay for the better version then save and pay for a less than steller version. It's not exactly the same argument but I also think the new molds speak volumes about how TT/hasbro approach the masterpiece line.
