It doesn't seem too odd to me. Soundwave is a bit more popular than sideswipe.

MP Soundwave in July? Sounds like my predictions of a SDCC exclusive might just be true then. Awesome.

Acid Storm I can care less about, I'm done with MP Seekers unless I can score myself a Ghost Starscream some day.

That's nice, Takara's soundwave is overpriced.
If it only have some nice diecast parts, but for a hollow, light weight piece of plastic that only comes with one cassette, I was thinking really hard on giving up my money or let it pass.

Yea good luck trying to find a US MP Soundwave in stores... I think what happened with the MP-10 will happen with Soundwave, short supplies, insane mark ups, and scalpers driving collectors insane with secondary market prices. Yea good luck to those trying to get the US MP Soundwave. (your gonna need it.)
I prefer quality over quantity, I have the unique collection of Optimus Primes/Convoys!

So soon after the Takara one? That's surprising... but yeah, judging by how hard it was to find Hasbro MP-10, I'm glad I'm getting Takara's.

Acid Storm... if it's true, what a waste.

I'm super-psyched about Soundwave, since I want him badly but don't want to pay import price.

I couldn't care less about Acid Storm. Masterpieces are too expensive for me to buy many of, and since I already have Thundercracker, I have no desire to spend another $80 on a repaint of the same mold.

Why do you assume that? Yes, they screwed up distribution of the new MP Optimus, but Thundercracker has not been hard to find, and past Masterpieces like Rodimus and Grimlock were in plentiful supply. OP seems to be the exception, so I'm not sure why you would assume that to be the standard.

Can only hope the Acid Storm news is untrue as that would likely kill any chance of a Hasbro Skywarp. Can't imagine Acid Storm moving a ton of units...would probably make Walmart Skywarp look like a best-seller.

Thought I would share my experience finding Hasbro’s version of MP 10. Hopefully it gives some hope to people, since the topic is flooded with pessimists. Back in September I missed the first preorder and I was pissed, because I saw how quickly those preorders wound up on eBay. That made me determined not to buy from a scalper on eBay. I decided to start following the sightings forum on Seibertron. Once I heard Prime was in stores, I started calling. After a week I found three. The first one the guy at TRU would not hold it for me, not sure why (he was kind of an ass on phone.) The two other stores were willing to hold him for a few days. Once I picked one up (100+tax) I released the other one. For a few weeks I checked back on TRU’s site and saw that Prime was restocked a few more times. I even posted it to Seibertron to let people know. In December I saw 3 more in stores. Of course my TRU had marked them up to 149 by then, but it was still cheaper than a scalper. Anyway, the point is you just have to spend a little leg time to find what you want at the price you want. My advice is to just call around or check the site regularly. With a little patience and persistence you will be able to find Soundwave.

There already is/was a Hasbro MP Skywarp. Did you think they were going to make another so soon?
