| Was that before yesterday when we got word that Hasbro is going to be releasing this as a TRU exclusive? Now that more people will have a cheaper alternative that will slow down the order flow a bit as it did with MP-10. |

Similar to with the Masterpiece Optimus toy last year, I spoke to ToysRUs for confirmation.... and yes, it is coming... yes, it is from Hasbro... and yes, it is spectacular. 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 - a second Hasbro Masterpiece is being released with it. |
| According to this post by one of the admins on that site, looks like the Hasbro version is indeed coming; |
Should've gone with Toy Arena.
| mine is supposed to arrive today, but UPS has it on "exception" status with a "late train" comment. Anybody know what the heck that's supposed to mean? |
| Are you sure that is from us? We use Fedex and USPS as our main carrier. But to my knowledge that means there is a delay in a delivery. I had this message before when I purchased goods and it was delayed. And to everyone who ordered. We really appreciate your orders!!! =] |
Thanks for the response anyways. I got mine from elsewhere. In my years of collecting this is the first "late train" delay I've got.
| We have processed a lot more just now!! Are you sure that is from us? We use Fedex and USPS as our main carrier. But to my knowledge that means there is a delay in a delivery.
