BotCon 2009: SDCC Soundwave in package

Nice packaging. I love my TRU Soundwave, although it is more like a Soundblaster repaint, so hopefully I'll have a chance to get SDCC 5-pack.

Nice packaging. I'm glad I got the TRU version though. How come no Rumble or Frenzy?

I wonder how much it will cost?

We won't know until after Comic-Con, but it's quite likely that he will be available, at retail, through hasbrotoyshop.com. In both 2007 and 2008, the "exclusive" toys were available there... in fact, you can still get Nemesis Prime and Titanium Skywarp through them now (though only the overpriced, AFA-graded ones).

Alternately, you can wait until they pop up on ebay, or find someone going to Comic-Con (like me) to try and get one for you. (I still have 2 Universe Nemesis Primes MIB, personally )

According to this page, it should retail at approximately $49.99. Usually, that means downgrading the price to $45-46, so CA state sales tax makes it $50 at the register.

Would it kill them to, JUST ONCE, reissue Rumble or Frenzy? I mean, are the molds destroyed or stolen?

Thanks

Now that is hot... nicely done..

Good point dude! They really should have considered a more exclusive package for such an exclusive TF. I will try to get my hands on it simply cause I need an opened SW to compensate for my sealed reissue #10. Ratbat is a cool incentive too but like someone just pointed out it's time to let Rumble and Frenzy join their master with evil pride!!!

Do you happen to remember how they were priced on hasbrotoyshop.com? Were they the $50 retail-ish, or really marked up?

My wife got me Nemesis Prime for $25 (no S&H) from HTS last Christmas.

Awesome, thanks! I am trying to decide whether to wait or pay the ridiculous mark ups on Ebay, lol.
