Agreed here. Siege Soundwave did not shelf warm at all. He sold through fast and was gone by the time Springer hit shelves.

 

While I didn't mind battle damage overall on figures(I like it on Megatron or Galvatron). I realy disliked painted scratches on the chest window on Soundwave. This Legacy version will be the perfect Soundwave for my collection since I'm not a fan of imovable alt-modes.

 

It\'s a pitty that this re release now suffers from the defective yellowing plastic issue. Get ready folks, the yellowing saga is just getting started. Looks like Hasbro likes pissing people off.

 

Let’s not forgot they these figures yellowing were likely already made or in the process of being made when Hasbro became aware of the yellowing and acknowledged it. It may be a while still before it goes away.

 

Why did we receive this instead of netflixwave?

 

Because at time of production Walmart had some sort of stranglehold on the moulds, apparently.

 

Because we have offended our Hasbro overlords and they are punishing us

 

So do we know if this Soundwave has the retooled chest that makes it less likely for the cassettes to get stuck? Never had a version of this mold before so I don't have any experience with it, but it was a pretty common topic I saw discussed way back when.

 

Since it looks like he's only gonna come with Ravage and Laserbeak based on that Blaster cover art, I don't think it'll be an issue. Siege Soundwave only had an issue with the Ratbat and Frenzy molds

Edit: wait, what thread is this again? I doubt there would be remolding to fit Ratbat, but the new Rumble might be made to fit

 

Wait, he's coming with those cassettes? That's not what I saw in any coverage or promotion.

 

Thought this was the SG thread for a moment lol, sorry. Based on SG Blaster's comic's cover, it looks like SG Laserbeak and Ravage will be included with SG Soundwave

 

Ah, I get ya. Had a real double-take just now.  

 

without any cassettes, he's not even worth 20 bucks let alone 30. the cassetticons are so essential to the character its not a complete figure without them. even the core class at least came with 1. this is flat-out ridiculous.

So now those of us who missed out on the first release have to track down those 2 packs from siege?

this is dumb.

 

SS86 Rumble is coming out soon and he's actively better than the siege one. My recommendation is to give the mold a chance, it's legitimately my second favorite WFC mold behind siege Starscream because of just how good the robot mode is.

 

Very nice of them to give us Soundwave a finger for scratching his head
