Price Revealed Through Preorders for Hasbro Asia Masterpiece Soundwave Reissue

Posted by william-james88 Aug 19, 2016 at 8:59am CDT 25,600 views
Fellow Seibertronian SteveGo has helped us find out what the price for the upcoming Masterpiece Soundwave reissue will be and it is $159.99 from US online retailers (like Bigbadtoystore). This increase in price is the same that we saw with the Masterpeice Optimus Reissue and remember that it comes with a bonus die cast casette player accessory. Also him being available through online retailers means he will be easier to find than the previous Toysrus exclusive release, and him not being a retail store release may help with taxes too depending on the state it is ordered from. Those are just a few things to keep in mind when comparing this to the original $125 beign asked by Toysrus three years ago for this toy. For people outside the US,Robot Kingdom also has him in stock for $134.90.

I was just about to ask what the original asking price of this toy was. I didn't realize it was $125 from TRU. That would've been about $135 after tax. $160 isn't so bad with that perspective, especially if you get it with no sales tax or shipping fee.

You have to admit that the original TrU Price was totally INSANE for what we got. These kind of scalper-bait prices is now a thing of the past. Thankfully. And now, EVERYONE have a chance to grab one without giving a fat bonus to some dirty scalper.

What about MP Starscream for $60 last year?

That was an exceptional bug I think. Because MP Bumblebee confirm it.

December? I'm out. I've already got Super Ginrai and a few other things pre-ordered for then and that's the time of year when money is at its tightest for me.

The Hasbro Reissue of Masterpiece Soundwave is now released and we finally have a look at the die cast bonus it comes with. It is a small die cast model of Soundwave in alt mode. It is very small, only 3 centimeters in length. We have very detailed pictures below, that come from Robot Kingdom. Let us know if you are using this chance to finally own this amazing toy (whose gallery you can find here).

Double post asside, it's nice to see people having a second chance at that marvelous set.

Paid mine a fortune via a trade but it was well worth it.

Is 3cm small enough for Rumble or Frenzy to carry on their shoulder?

The price of Soundwave is one of the reasons why it probably wasn't the best time for to get back into the Transformers. I have issues with the car, Roku, and computer, and I need to track down one of those new Funko Pop figures of Axl Rose. They make Slash and Duff as well but as I may have said in an earlier thread, I have limited space for toys these days due to having to move back in with the folks. Yeah, I'm currently for the most part unemployed. I repair computers for a living but these days, most people seem to just rely on smartphones, tablets, or really cheap laptops, so they just replace them instead of fix them.

I did order a really cool Optimus Prime figure off of Amazon the other day from China or Japan but despite the 98% positive reviews, I'm starting to think its counterfeit. Its really hard to tell at times, and easy at others. Like there are a few on Amazon that are obviously fakes since Optimus has blue feet instead of silver (I'm referring to the film version). But if it looks as good as it does in the pics, and isn't made totally flimsy, I'll be happy regardless and it'll be kind of nostalgic since back when I was a kid my uncle used to take me to the swap meet to get my Transformers and I know some of them were either counterfeit or something because they had actual spring loaded weapons, the ones at T'RU looked identical but did not have spring loaded weapons.

Still expensive as hell... but WAY better than the secondary market's scalpy prices.
