Yeah, I saw that too and thought it could be fake. However, I checked some online pictures regarding the Soundwave figure. I've seen that same line before now. Heck, some bubbles can take quite a beating in stores. I don't think that white line proves a whole lot.

edit: My bad. Wrong pic.

I hope this is true. This version looks so much better and i dont have the money to get the nemesis pack. Also im sure alot of others are hoping its real too since Soundwave seems to be the rarest figure from the line so far.

If you look closely at the Head shot it looks like it's been digi bashed and the edge of the card looks like it's been opened and re-sealed :-?

I like it better than the cheap looking, grey plastic one - if this is real I'll buy one.

The real Soundwave's head is already blue, but this is still a fake.

Really hope that this would be true, but doubt it. Don't really feel like buying the TRU exclusive set just for the Soundwave, really don't like the ugly Fallen and kibble Meg. :sad:

I think its a fake, the twist ties look loose and there isnt the one that was around his stomach, it also looks kinda badly packaged. I hope im wrong but i really dont think this is true

Another nail in the coffin: GenZhao, the original poster, has said that's most likely a packaging error, as the back of the card still shows the grey Soundwave.

EDIT 1: Another reason I think it's fake is because I doubt Hasbro would take the only reason people are going to buy a $50 boxset and sell it individually.

But something that convinces me is that under the conversion level, it says "Advanced Conversion". This is not present on the Preview Wave's packaging. I know this, I kept it.

Then you should know that the front is the same on all cards, only the inserts are different

Just show us the back already!

-_-. No. This packaging is slightly different. Granted, it could just be an entirely different figure's case or a genuine rerelease. But the little "Advanced Conversion" Statement isn't on the preview packaging!!!

I meant on all regular deluxes, not the preview wave.

Yep. And this would make that boxset pretty pointless.
