My MP Soundwave is due tomorrow with his four cassettes. It has cost me a hell of a lot to get them to England but I feel like a kid at Christmas!

I believe you mean 5 cassettrons. Laserbeak included with Soundwave.

You had me running scared. I thought this was for the release of the Hasbro version, sheez, which I do no have any money for nao!

You're in for one hell of a day! Soundwave isn't perfect but he certainly is close! How much did you pay?

I'm almost jealous of you for being able to experience the awesomeness of these molds all anew! Soundwave is amazing, Buzzsaw / Laserbeak are amazing double plus, Frenzy / Rumble are excellent and Ravage is just very, very sweet and ingenious.

Ah well... I already had that pleasure a couple of months ago, with chunks of additional goodness gradually being added with every new delivery of the tape-sets. And I'm still enjoying them to this day. And of course, I do not envy your uncertainty about potential QC problems which unfortunately are also hitting Takara these last few MP releases.

I can't wait until he makes it to Toys R Us here in the US. I haven't been excited about an MP since Grimlock. (I liked Rodimus, but that faded.) I certainly want this 1.

Well he is here and unboxed and transformed and I love everything about the model. I think laserbeak is perfect. Not as overawed by Rumble but I havnt unboxed all the accessories yet. Ravage I havnt had time to get out, looking forward to the weekend!

I think including shipping and import taxes for him + the 4 cassettes it has been about £235. Its a hell of a lot but as I said on another of the threads a while ago the extra £100 odd is worth it just to ensure I have him just incase the Hasbro release never comes to the UK for whatever reason. Getting stuff from the US seems just as expensive as from Japan so I didn't see any saving waiting for that.
