I recently went to toys r us to crap my money away when i saw a ravage, soundwave, and some other guy for $30. They were small enough to stick all of them into your pocket and still have room. The only way that they'd be $30 is that they're rare or toys r us is looking for a way to rip kids off

Back up, what? What were they, exactly? There have been a ton of Ravages, Soundwaves, and other guys. Which ones do you mean?

I really don't know. It had a cassette and cassette player and ravage in his alt mode and was in a box with one of those cover you can lift to see into it

That is a Soundwave reissue, definitely worth it. You're dumb for not buying it. Really, you are.

i bought mines for 50.

That was a good price you saw. Course everytime I get to TRU, they're always sold out, and I like to see my toys in person before buying. (box quality ftw) XP
Then again, thats just a sorry excuse i tell myself when I buy something more than I could have found it elsewhere. But they were selling it for 85-95 dollars over at the comic con. The one i got was a real steal there.

Yeah, I'm looking for one myself. It's retail price and box have been engraved in my mind.

Just order it online. You'd have to wait a couple months for it depending where you are...

Unavailable online but may still be available in stores. If you are lucky and if they ever got any in the first place.

My local TRU had 10 for like a week, so I talked to my fincee and she let me get 4 of them. I went back today and there where none left so I think we made a good choice. I kept one and we sold one to another collector for $30. The other 2 go on ebay in a couple of months so hopefully it will be like I paid nothing for mine and get our money back.

$30 is a steal for a Reissue Soundwave...
This was a $20 toy back in the 80's...and it one came with only one cassette back then. Adjust for inflation and the price hasn't climbed one bit.
