This product is initially schedule to be released on September 09, and delay until December 2009. Now we get the news that this product has been cancelled. Many Japanese toy shops has also suspended the pre-order for this product.
We hope to get confirmation from Takara Tomy soon, and we will bring you the latest development when it is available.

sucks.

I think it would look excellent in Soundblaster decor, or even Twincast.

Though the ability to hold cassettes is pretty cool.

Functional or not, it's still a darn fine Blaster. Yeah, I would have paid for him. It's not like I haven't overpaid for far lesser figures.
I hope they either bring this guy out or announce a mold for a Universe 3.0 Soundwave/Blaster. It's been too long man.

Hope they don't turn it into Soundwave, because I don't need one of those. :p

I already have a spot set aside for him, and he was the only TF I have been looking forward too since June. I got to preorder it for my birthday. And we have too much Soundwave as it is, don't just release it as Soundwave instead, PLEEEEEASSSEEE!!!
THIS MUST COME OUT SOON!!!
On the lighter side, I guess I'll get my DL Ravage and CC upgrade sooner, as Blaster was the only thing left in my POL that was still a pre-order.
I agree with Punch.

I smell bullshit.
And then I notice a large pot of shit with a wooden spoon in it.

Well, at least we have this guy:

Here's hoping it's just BS.

If it does turn out to be true though, I wonder what would cause it. Were the Japanese not wanting it as much as we do?

Exactly why I call shit stirring. Nothing like a big hit future product being canned to drive up the page hits.

Would be a shame just the Chrono label line

Well, the Chrono Label line was a $300 TF that went from blocky watch to unimpressive robot and back. I really can't blame them for cancelling that money-waster.

might as well go with the All Spark version. at least that usb hub glows when it works.

Not really crazy statement. It is based on one of the Japanese toy online website: http://www.redmercury.co.jp/shop/detail ... 9-RED-5861
It says "入荷予定:発売中止". In English (google translation) = Stock: Cancel Date

The idiots behind this line should've released the big gun first, that's the product everyone wants!
Posted by --B-- on November 13th, 2009 @ 1:06pm CST
It could have been costing too much to make it and they didn't think they would make enought profit on it.
This would suck, cause 60 bucks for a oversized deluxe is about my limit, any more and I would be more likely to pass.
Posted by Random on November 13th, 2009 @ 5:20pm CST
although, more than likely, they just have not updated their site yet.
It sucks. I've never actually had a Blaster fig, and thought this a cool update.
Posted by Mach on November 13th, 2009 @ 7:26pm CST
That time i just wonder why there is no blaster/USB hub? Maybe thats the early sign... hmmm...

I'd crap my pants in joy if Hasbro brought DL Blaster and ML Soundwave, sans electronics out in Uni 3.0. Particularly, if we got the white version of ML SW. I don't want to pay $80-$100 for a deluxe with some electronics I will NEVER use.
