I'm in the same boat. Just need Buzzsaw from those 5. However, I'm not willing to buy another Soundwave to get him.

 

Sweet. Now I think that's a reasonable asking price.

 

Crush boxes and bend cards ya\'ll!  Makes for happy collectors happy children and pissy scalpers. 

 

I don't know if I should trust those ones on Ebay from Taiwan.

Being reissued so many times, do you think this will still sell fast or out?

 

I need a Buzzsaw too! Anyone who doesn’t need/want theirs when they acquire this SW hit me up! 

 

I can only speak to what I see here in Canada, but a lot of the Wal-Mart reissues have moved exceptionally slowly. My local store still has a half-dozen Optimuses on a shelf, a few Hot Rods, and a peg full of Bumblebee, Tailgate, and a Warpath.

The only thing that I saw vanish in the blink of an eye was the Constructicons pack, of which I saw a single box available before christmas, balked at the $100 price tag, put it back on the shelf, and never saw it again.

 

For me, I only see Optimus Prime on the shelf. Other's rarely. I think I only saw Starscream once at Walmart and never again. I am still grumpy about one guy at a local Swap Meet who had like 20 Starscreams that he claimed he cleaned out all stores and is now selling them for double and a half.

 

those people are the worst. I almost want to say "At least it's the reissues and not the Siege stuff that kids would want" but no, scalpers are tools in the end. I get it, capitalism and supply/demand and all that, but still...

And now that you mention there was a Starscream, I never saw any of those. But that might be a Canadian stock issue. We're always waaaaay behind. Even right now for Siege all the stores I frequent are still stocking some wave 1 and part of wave 2 (I have yet to see Siege Soundwave or Shockwave yet) and Toys R Us is even further behind.

 

Where are you seeing these Warpaths? I've been looking all over Vancouver for one.

 

Personally, I just found him at the North Vancouver Wal-Mart yesterday. And my first sightings of the Wave 2 Siege Micromasters and Voyagers, finally.

 

OG Soundwave still looks great after all these years.

 

A testimony to the genius and craftmanship of those blessed japanes toymakers.
Microchange and diaclone for the win, yesterday, now, in the future and always!

 

Looks like Walmart is selling down Prime and the Minicars before shipping out Soundwave and the cassettes here in the States. Which is fine, since I bought a second Prime for $35 to open.

 

There was one in Langley last night at the front of a peg that was otherwise full of Bumblebees.

 

Gah, I go to TFCon, and this sneaks up on me? Back to the hunt, I guess.

 

Since you are in the BC area, Was told that Richmond Walmart has Soundwaves now.

 

Thanks for sharing! Did you open your Soundwave? If so, could you please post a few pictures, including popping the battery cover to show the HasTak stamping inside? Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for the heads up, but I probably won't be picking up a Soundwave since I already have one from the TRU re-issue a few years ago. Richmond's a bit of a trek for me to get to as well.

 

Yikes!

I just read on cybertron.ca that the cassettes for Soundwave are $29.97 in CANADA.

 

They will be $20 in the U.S.
