    I dont know why people are waiting for a US release. I mean look at how the MP-10 is going for the US release. Stock is very sparatic, preorders are getting cancelled. Get the Takara version cause you know it will definately get released. Have I have two car payments, a mortgage and other utility bills, and I can afford the Takara version and all of the other tapes that are getting released. Plus we dont even know if Hasbro will do a US Release.

    I never plan on a U.S release.


    That being said I buy the U.S versions even if I have the TakTom ones because then I have one to display in the box as well.

    I dunno, Sideswipe probably has some decent recognition by nature of simply being there in a good number of scenes, even if he's not particularly recognized for what he's done.

    Red Alert just gets to come along for the ride.

    Soundwave was the ever-present Decepticon, with the crazy cool gimmick and the distinctive voice. Blaster didn't even show up in the cartoons until the movie.

    Ummm... Yeah he did. He appeared quite a few times in Season 2.

    My bad.

    Been awhile.

    I honestly don't remember him doing much until after his movie appearance.

    Still, even the second season Autobots aren't nearly as recognizable as the first season ones.

    Considering how well MP Optimus Prime is selling at TRU's, I would not be surprised if MP Soundwave gets a US release. Even though MP Thundercracker is not selling as fast as MP Prime, MP TC is still selling reasonably well it seems. I believe Soundwave, and Sideswipe for that matter, are very popular characters that will positively connect with consumers in the US. But there is no guarantee in anything these days.

    The Soundwave reissue sold like gangbusters for TRU and Hasbro. They'll both more than likely want to sell us a MP Soundwave.

    Sideswipe has licensing fees that need to be recouped, Tomy will most probably push Hasbro to get him released too. I hope Hasbro releases Sideswipe and Red Alert as a wave since he'll be a much lower pricepoint that any previous MP.

    you said so much..
    US release for Soundwave? 50/50.
    re: TRU MP10:
    Stock is sporadic, but relax there, chicken little. MP11TC is everywhere, and its barely been a month for the MP10 TRU release. i was able to get 2 TRU MP10s without a problem, for less than the price of one TT MP10. Chances are he'll be out in abundance by Christmas.

    There's something to be said for buying now, as well as waiting for a potential US release. Mine is preorded :/

    meh, i'm getting the Takara version simply because it looks really good.

    I'm not gonna wait around for a version I'll never be able to pick up here.

    TRU's are pretty far away from me and most are usually cleaned out anyway.

    Yeah I get your point but unless someone is hibernating, this forum lit up like fire once TRU.com had MP-10 instock and there were much to be had for a full 24hrs. It's a toy, not a hyped up Air Jordan so didn't sellout in 30 seconds . . . took a full 24 hours for the online stock to dwindle to the point being how sporadic it is now.

    If Soundwave comes out in the US next year I will avoid the preorders like the plague but still confident I'll find him in store or on TRU.com. If it doesn't release, I'd be really really surprised. Hasbro would be passing on profits from their huge adult collector fanbase.

    If Hasbro is to issue this Soundwave, I will still not regret getting takara tomy version when it is out later on
