I hear ya. Lol! Money is always a factor when dealing with these items. To each his/ her own I say.

There is also the plastic quality. TRU Thundercracker feels really cheep when compared with PM-11. Doesn't seem worth $75. Where as MP-11 feels like he is worth a lot more just because of the better plastic and extra weight.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

RUINED FOREVER

Got them both down off the shelf to... fiddle with them (<.< >.> ) and SS is definitely heavier, and the plastic feels nicer. Just how I feel about the MP line, makes the extra expense of Takaras versions more worthwhile.xyl360 wrote:Arctorro wrote:Doubledealer93 wrote:i will be getting the hasbro one. 200 bucks for Soundwave and one cassette, plus the other 4 cassettes whish are 60 for 2 of them so you are paying 300+ for a 120 product. its a bit much considering hasbro is selling theirs for 120 with soundwave and all 5 cassettes. there is one bug difference between the colors on them and that is the eyes. i kinda like the yellow but if i dont then i can paint them red. its not hard.

I have both but never really compared/noticed. I just picked both up and fiddled with them a bit and I don't really notice much difference. I wonder if they weigh any different (I don't have a scale to check but would be curious).
Don't get me wrong, I'm getting Takara's versions (as always), but I would like to see if there are any quality/density differences between Hasbro's and Takara's.

So I guess it's just a matter of what's more important. Saving some bling or getting a quality figure.

I take talk about "feeling" or "plastic quality" with little to no substance because it has been shown in the past that all claims of Hasbro TF toys being different in plastic quality/density compared to TakaraTomy TF toys have been false. This includes TakaraTomy and Hasbro versions of MP figures.

For how much did TRU sell this Hasbro Soundwave?

Just from a standpoint with Soundwave, since the Takara version's feet are die-cast and the Hasbro has plastic, there's going to be a weight difference off the bat.
