This is so tempting...to Soundwave or not to Soundwave. Honestly, if its not because that it includes all the tapes, I would not be that poisoned!

QUOTE(omichael @ Aug 3 2013, 02:45 PM) Normally I'd agree with you, but there are limits to price variation in today's globalized market, and a markup of over 40% is a little ridiculous. These are toys, not cars with crazy government tax slapped on them haha. Yup, if u'r able to get one at a good price off eBay US, then plus shipping it will still be cheaper. I dunno what's the actual quality of the Hasbro version, but it can't be too far off from the Takara version. Bundling all cassettes in a package is definitely the deal breaker, unlike Optimus which is more or less similar between the two versions.Apparently it's sold out in US for now, second batch is coming late August. If at this point supply is able to catch up with demand, it could easily work out cheaper to buy Soundwave MP on eBay US, even with shipping cost factored in: RM380 for item + RM80 ~ RM150 for shipping = total cost of between RM460 ~ RM530. That's a saving of up to RM130 on the local TRU price! Will also be interesting to see if local toyshops bring him in. Either way I'm buying, but don't know if can wait so long  |

On where to put it, just get a 2'x2' coffee table from ikea, then custom make an acrylic display box and place the big fella inside This post has been edited by Pliskin: Aug 3 2013, 04:51 PM |
