However, I'm still very happy with this set.
Why?
DAT BOX.
It's writings are in English, Spanish, and... FRENCH! Which mean this will be available in Quebec and it's a good sign for things to come.
At last! T'was about fakking time!

Pffff speak for yourself. YOTG Soundwave looks awesome, and I'm super psyched for it. It's nice to see that Hasbro and Takara are willing to try new things and put out interesting, out-of-left-field pieces using MP molds.
As a Japanese Headmasters character, releasing Soundblaster (and subsequently Ratbat) in the US would be tough. If you want it so bad, stop griping and just buy it. A bunch of places are selling him at reduced prices these days.

At first I thought he was pure garbage, but he has grown on me and I am VERY tempted! Got both SW and SB and all the cassettes and the rare 'completionist' side of me has reared it's ugly headmegatronus wrote:TimothyR wrote:Absolute and complete garbage..

I also agree about a U.S. release of SB, if his price has dropped then why not?

Just hope he is still available in a month or so, a lot of stuff being released atm and I've got to spread em out a little.

I really like the clear with the bronze scheme. I'm just not sure of the usage. His head is lacking something. Maybe if his face plate where bronze or just his helmet. Still pretty cool just from a "strange and wonderful" perspective. I'm set for this mold though.
That Lazor Prime may be another story.

Plus, it even has the sort of "limited exclusivity" that Shattered Glass toys are famous for!

I... don't think anyone has mentioned that, actually.Convoy wrote:I'm sure somebody else has already said this but that deco really almost resembles Machine Wars Soundwave.

No statement, but it is implied.Rodimus Prime wrote:Has Takara stated that they will see the calendar through to the end? That we will get 12 different Primes plus 1 other figure under the 12 years of the calendar?
Though, this is Hasbro Asia, rather than Takara.

Soon there's going to be a Year of the Cow and by the looks of that Soundwave and Prime, it's going to get uglier. Picture ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime in yellow, green, purple, and orange. That's the whole rainbow right there.

Sounds like one glorious Toxitron to me.
