im with y'all. its like YOTH MP10 all over againArctorro wrote:You're not the only one, can't wait to get him.

It's weird and I love it.

TRU wanted $220 for him. You read that right - $220. Are they joking? Granted, Times Square prices are jacked up, but that still probably means TRUs nationwide will list him for $199.95.
The box was all banged up, so I left it there. I'd pay up to $150 for this piece, and I predict he'll be discounted at some point once he's more widely available.

The one I bought from Hong Kong on ebay a couple weeks ago was about $160 after shipping. Sounds like that was the way to go!

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

HAH! Anyone who want to buy them at NYC should spend an extra 2 secconds on the net!

I can understand wanting to buy from retail, but the ship sailed for me years ago with the stupid mark-ups we get in Australia. For MP's though it really does seem like importing from Asia is always the cheapest option. There have been a lot of U.S. collectors saying that they always get them cheaper that way even with international shipping (for the Takara versions at least).

I've been shifting a lot of my Takara purchases to importers, sure, but there's always the allure of the hunt!
YOTG Soundwave is supposed to be a domestic release here, so it would make sense to buy him here... but that retail price came as a huge surprise. Again, it was the only one I've seen, so maybe it will drop to YOTH Prime levels ($99-$120) once it's more widely distributed and/or shelfwarms.

i wish SW had a few more paint apps, otherwise i love them both!megatronus wrote:Am I really the only one who likes these?
People were crapping all over YOTH Prime until they realized he was the best thing ever.

I've got SW sitting in an order waiting for XTB Apollyon to drop.megatronus wrote:shajaki wrote:i wish SW had a few more paint apps, otherwise i love them both!megatronus wrote:Am I really the only one who likes these?

Phew! That's a relief. Glad I'm not the only one.![]()
But yes, any two of these additional paint apps would elevate YOTG Soundwave to epic proportions:
-Decepticon symbol on his chest
-Door outline
-Faceplate
-Two lines on either side of the door

I agree that some additional paints aps would've helped, but some more of the clear plastic being "butterscotch" () would've helped a lot.
BTW, I still think YOTH Prime looks terrible
