RM160 that time must be RM599 like Now
..I mean the rate Of my availability

Ya, was shocked too, X2O toys manage to secure that price...RM430 PO...with shipping...i felt so miserable after i know about the final price confirmation. But I see light after Hasbro annouce Soundwave TRU exclusive...haha

By the way, I just noticed that Hasbro is doing this MP release from scratch with MP01 Acid Storm and MP02 Soundwave, let's hope they bring in MP Sideswipe too!

LOL! no lah, how can be RM599 Chan actually, just 2 months ago, i still see MP-16 selling MISB for RM159...at BTS's Gaming Figure shop... i got my MP-15 from a fellow forumer at RM230 about 3 months ago...
what? X2Otoys brought in MP Soundwave? i tot they only go for KO products but rilli, X2Otoys rilli has the best pricing for KO stuff...

hmm...when i saw Hasbro Soundwave named as MP02, i initially thought Hasbro OP was MP01...didn't knew Acid Storm got that "01" tag

nope.. X2O deals in PO and 3rd party things mostly.. and seems like some that can bring in fast, small profits like Gen Grimlock and BH Shockwave

Ya, they've got good price...KO, 3rd party and also Hastak stuff, normally the rare species...

But i believe their true gem is their very compatible 3rd party product PO....and lastly, handled by a lady that customizes TF (or maybe partially owned, not sure)...Can it get any better? 

You have missed the discount last time. MP OP is RM499 last time if I am not mistaken.

you guys do know that there are KO takara soundwaves in the market right?

I saw some post in TFW2005 but no photos...especially MP-12...enlighten me please..

Just received my KO Sideswipe from Uncle Billy, and I have to say, I'm impressed. The paint job is as good as on my original Takara version, and all the joints are tight.

Minor problems/flaws:

- The head is a tiny bit loose in its side-to-side movement.
- I had to really force some of the transformation points, possibly because the paint was still sticky when it was assembled.
- "Lamborgfhri Cantach". Ha.
- The torso assembly doesn't fit together as well as the original. It fits, but at the cost of either the front or back not sitting entirely flush. (This fits perfectly on the original.)
- The loin-cloth piece doesn't fit flush against his groin (not a problem with the original).
- The face is really - what is it the cool kids say? - "derpy"? I know some people say they prefer this face to that of the original, but the Takara face is much more fitting of the character, with the eyes matching the shape they have in the cartoon. It's clearly from the Tigertrack mould, but seems more elongated somehow - very horsey.

All in all, though, it is an incredibly high-quality knock-off. It is clearly a knock-off, though, and not a factory second or reject: once you start comparing it to an original in detail, you notice lots of minor differences and mould-copy roughness: the size of the circle on the inner bicep, the definition of the circles on the upper arms, different types of plastic used throughout, the inability of the leg-filler pieces to bend all the way out so that they need holding to clip them in place - all very minor stuff, however.
