Couldn't bring myself to by the additional 2 packs of cassettes at $20 each, thinking about it, but might wait for them to clearance out eventually. There were 3 soundwave's left in stock. 1 more box in excellent condition, the other 2 had a few creases.
First, welcome!
And second, unless you have money trouble, DO NOT wait for the cassettes to go on clearance. Even at 20$, those are TWO packs and even at that price, they will be scalped to hell and back for double the price on Ebay. Beside, if you want a single complete vintage cassette, you would have to pay at least 30$ if not more.
TlDr; Complete your G1 Soundwave NOW or forever regret it.
Every single g1 reissue has been found at massive clearance prices so far. Waiting is just fine.
I dunno about that, though.
Reissue Devy was sold out nearly instantly when it came out, along with Starscream, and both of those were at full retail prices (I'm surprised about Devy simply because he was like 75$) so there is no guarantee that Soundwave will or won't be the same.
