mikeszekely Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Back up. This must have been unpaid items or extra stock from ebay or something. And gone again by the time I get home. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think the times it went up was 11:30, and 5:45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just try to keep calling your nearest store, mikeszekely. Especially all this week. Anyway, Kreon-Soundwave was not happy about the TRU-website ordering shenanigans of today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 With all the un-filled demand, I think FanToys should go ahead and produce AcousticWave. Pricing it similar to the US MP, but ACTUALLY BEING EASY TO OBTAIN and I think they'd get a good amount of sales. Though the amount of accessories(like casettes) that the US one has may be hard to equal, value-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I disagree, this will be easy to come by eventually, just like mp10 was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) When was mp-10 easy to get haha? Unless you're in the U.K. where it's a shelf warmer because of shitty supply lines. I mean, you can buy him on Ebay, but he was never easy to get at the original MSRP I think Robotkingdom put some up for $179.00 earlier this week and they sold out in a few minutes, which is still about 50 bucks over MSRP.

Oh yeah, so easy to come by that my local TRU NEVER got any stock. EDIT: Just got off the phone with my local TRU. They got stock, but they won't put them out until tomorrow (when, of course, I'm at work and won't be able to get there until they've most likely sold them all...).

jenius Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Mp10 may be hard to get now but if you wanted him around release it wasn't to bad, I bought one on a whim from tru.com at msrp. A year from now Soundwave may be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, I called TRU as soon as I was able (since I'm at work), around an hour after they opened. Sold out. Good job, TRU. I give it two middle fingers up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I got a second one on Tues. Hoping to have it in hand by Wed. Robot kingdom has some in stock for 200 before shipping. Ratchet toys is selling some stock they scalped for 215. Also these are all the differences I can find on the Takara/Hasbro Soundwave: 1. Hasbro's feet are missing silver paint on a large panel on the inside.2. Hasbro's tapes are also missing chrome.3. Hasbro's SW has a yellow paint chest instead of gold.4. Hasbro's has white screws instead of black, making them more noticeable. You can see them on the back of the figure.5. Yellow eyes.6. The giant CE mark on the foot. 7. Packaging is different.

The gold on the chest is identical between the two. As for the tapes, I don't have any of the Japanese tapes besides Laserbeak but from pictures I've seen I don't think any of them had actual chrome, just metallic paint. The Hasbro one's have silver/gold paint apps in all the same places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll luck out later... I want one because I don't have a Takara one. Or any one. *EDIT* I got excited when I refreshed the page and saw that it was available for ship-to-home, around 5:00pm EDT. By the time I got to the shopping cart, though, I had a red message telling me that inventory was limited, and that he'd be removed from my cart.

mikeszekely Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 I have one for trade I was just about to type "what do you want for it?" when my buddy calls. I've been helping him plan a birthday party for his wife, and he wanted to check on a few last minute costume things (see, she's obsessed with Dr. Who, so we're all dressing up as different Doctors). He mentions he's on his way to Goodwill, Best Buy, and maybe TRU, so I ask him to check if they have Soundwave, expecting that they're still sold out. Turns out they were literally pulling one off the truck, so he nabbed it for me. All is now right with this world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
