BTW, I'm a little annoyed HTS is now charging sales tax here in AZ and just about every state now. Last few years of ordering had NO tax.
It's not like there's a HTS I can visit at the mall. Not to mention it'll still take 2 weeks to receive my order from across the country.

Yes, the BK code does work.

Just be glad you don't live in Pennsylvania. Here you have to pay "use tax" on everything you order online if you do not pay sales tax, which is equivalent to sales tax. I know 2 people who have been audited for several years of back "use tax" for everything they ordered online for 3 or 4 years!!!!

That free shipping code functional for Canadians?

As predicted, Soundwave has sold out within hours of going up today. This marks the first time that I have not been able to help others, or get help from them. I'm not paid until August 3rd, so I couldn't order today anyway. Every year, we banded together and helped one another to get these damned things, but not this year.

I think this is reflected by selfishness, the economy, scalping, and people just not giving a damn anymore about their fellow collector. This is truly sad, and I will definitely re-evaluate my desire to help others. It was just a matter of time before everyone went into "everyone for themselves" mode.

Shame on us all.

Man, you should check out Down_Shift. He's been an absolute ACE of a friendly collector helper dude with the AVEO Swerve giveaway.

FYI, the Burger King code BKTF09 gets you free shipping, prob more savings than 10% off, it is for me. Not sure if that will help you Canucks.

EDIT- so which version is this one, the flat chest or the double-chest? Againt with the edit- never mind, answered my own question via the Galleries- he's flat! SO TEMPTED!

Does that cover next-day/express or standard shipping?

They also have a few EZ Devastators, turns out that it is going to be a very limited run on these things as most stores only got about 10% of their order and some shops recieved none. I know it's off topic but it's important

Wow. It didn't take them long to jack their prices up another $10 bucks from $59.99 to $69.99, huh?

I didn't check this time, but in the past it has only been on standard shipping.

I passed on SW, BTW, just couldn't justify it. I wonder how many got sold.

I passed on this and the other HTS exclusives in favor of the Green Lantern figures.

Hopefully next year, the exclusive will be an absolute must buy.

by **Onyx Primal** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:32 pm

Damn already sold out. hopefully they'll restock soon.

Who is Down_Shift? Is he helping with Soundwave?

I don't think they will be restocking it. Exclusives tend to be limited to whats on hand.

No, Down_Shift has been helping those of us in the US get the Aveo Swerve.

I really don't like the fact that you're saying the community as a whole has turned to being scalpers and "every man for himself", I don't know why you came to that conclusion just because you couldn't order a Soundwave.

I managed to make my order thanks to dumb luck. I got up this morning and noticed the news post and BK code. All I did was start making my order and I somehow got through. I'm very grateful my order was processed as I've been wanting a Soundwave for a while now.

Shame on us? I was watching HTS like a hawk at 4 am ct because Iknew the set would vanish with the quickness.. If I could have helped someone else get one I would have.. It's not like I can afford to buy to $60 SW sets.. I hardly think it's fair to judge the ones who woke up early and planned ahead to remember to order it and have funds set aside for it.. :-x

News Credits: 198 · by **DevastaTTor** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 1:07 am

Was a cool set-I decided against buying it with all the new stuff from 3rd party folks coming out soon. Couldn't justify it when I was never going to remove it from the box. Plus, despite their condition, I've got all the G1 originals, with the exception of Buzzsaw.

Looks great though. For those who bought it, hope you enjoy it!

Not just those in the US, Down_Shift is helping anybody he can outside of the GTA. The Aveo Swerve giveaway is like a one-city exclusive in Canada...

It's available as a pre-order on HTS.com right now. Says there are about 450 available at the moment, but since I went ahead and placed an order out of fear I may not get another chance at it, I'm sure it'll be readily available for the next year and beyond. So those that are afraid of missing out can thank me and those that hope for it to be rare and raise in value can blame me.

News Credits: 23 · by **ZenPrime** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:59 am

Was it confirmed that this set is the single cassette version of Soundwave? The reason I'm asking it's because the picture posted on HTS seems to be the double cassette version.
