    Does anyone know what Soundwave will cost? If he is $80 like Thundercracker, I might snag one -- if I find one.

    If he is $140 like prime was, I'm out

    There may not be a TRU release. So he will be pricy.

    That would be unfortunate, but maybe for the best, I can hardly afford them, heh.

    BBTS has the Japanese version for $149.99.

    Eeck. That probably doesn't even include Ravage. No, I just can't afford them at prices that high. I'm not really collecting from any other lines right now, so I can "sort of" afford them in the $80 range. But I can't go beyond that without having to sell off stuff.

    Nope, but it does include Laserbeak. But checking on this info it seems that BBTS has their Soundwave pre-order at $199.99. I guess the low price was for us super-early pre-orderers.

    Then do it, Philly Cheese Steak! This is the one toy to own! All the cool kids on the block are going to have him! You don't want to be the only one on your street not to have one, do you? You want to be cool, yes?

    From what I could tell during a casual ebay search, I could get all five G1 dinobots for around $300. That seems like a better purchase. Nah, these are too costly if they are over $120. I could justify it with Prime since he came with Roller and the trailer. Harder to justify that with Soundwave and a lot of others.

    I got my shipping notice from HLJ for Rumble (red) and Ravage.

    $45 shipped from HLJ compared to $60 without shipping from BBTS. I got a great deal and I'm glad I still have Frenzy (blue) and Buzzsaw on pre-order with HLJ

    Just give yourself to wanton commercialism, F-Deuce. You know you want to and it would make you so happy!

    For Prowl, I just might. He was my second Transformer I had as a kid. I got him just a few days after my first Transformer, Starscream. Those 2 figures initiated me into an obsession with Transformers that has lasted ever since.

    I know you have Masterpiece Sideswipe. Do you have any Alternators? I was wondering if they are the same scale. I do have several Alternators so if they do happen to stand at roughly the same height I could buy just Prowl and have him hang out with my Alternators.

    Actually, I do have quite a few Alternators as well. And I compared Sidewsipe next to Subaru Smokescreen and Sidewipe is about 1/4" to 1/2" shorter. He's actually pretty close in height to the Alternators and looks pretty good next to him. The real difference is girth. The Alternators tend to be a bit chunkier than the Masterpiece Transformers. But pictures speak louder than words so here's a couple of pics you can use to compare visually...

    Just be patient, k-man. It takes a while for the sound waves here from the U.S. to reach Canada.
