My best guess would be ebay, but have any online retailers had the previous G1 reissues in stock? maybe they could possibly be getting some Soundwaves in?

I dont see how thats a fair price. The rerelease of Starscream was 50$ and both bots are around the same size so I dont see how 1 casette minion can be an additional 20$. This feels super overpriced to me. I really expected him to be 50$
Not surprising. The G1 Soundwave toy has never been sold without at least one of its minions.-Kanrabat- wrote:70$CAN for Soundwave PLUS Buzzsaw.

Hence the recent reissue being priced as is instead of more.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not surprising. The G1 Soundwave toy has never been sold without at least one of its minions.-Kanrabat- wrote:70$CAN for Soundwave PLUS Buzzsaw.
Optimus Prime was never sold without his trailer either...

50$ for Starscream? That must have been the price on sale because if I remember, Starscream was also 69.99$ at it's normal price.

Yeah, the Soundwave w/ Laserbeak and Ravage reissue that was released in 2006 in the Classics line was $30, while the SDCC 2009/HTS exclusive Soundwave w/ Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage, and Ratbat reissue set was also $50 but offered much more and was even a limited convention/online exclusive.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Still no sales around here. And wow, Soundwave will be $50? Well, that's gonna hurt some, but he might be worth it, much more so than Prime

To be fair, that's 13 years ago.
