That's really cool - carded cassette two packs - ah, that brings back nostalgia. Is that a first sighting? In Australia if not worldwide?

[Cat]

That's another world first as far as I'm aware.

I shared this info at the Allspark btw, with a link to the post.


And what store where these found in?

[theheretic]

I think that is another world exclusive?!

[VERT]

I think that is another world exclusive?!

Wow...And the price is $12.95! Where did you find them?

[i_amtrunks]

I wonder if that might have been what was in the boxes out the back of Uncle Pete's that was discussed in another thread?

Toyworld are getting the jump on the rest of the world!

[Cat]

I know Toyworld stores here got in another massive shipment this week. I think most are still going through it, plus catching up from last weeks.

[Trent]

Toyworld. I was actually tipped off by another board member as he knows I get down that way and am looking for Soundwave.

[VERT]

Again I wish my Toyworld did not BURN DOWN! :mad:

Hope they show up in other places soon :D

[5FDP]

I was on the fence about getting Voyager FOC Soundwave (mainly because I have the deluxe)... I think this has just tipped me over the edge :cool: Even if the toys aren't any good, the nostalgia factor is awesome.

I wish there was a Toyworld in my area to begin with :(

[Starscream77]

The Takara versions are up for pre order on BBTS ... not due till April 2013 !!!

[LordCyrusOmega]

I didn't realise this was a first sighting. As noone else has come forward for them I'll post it up in the sightings section

[Shirokaze]

I wonder how Toyworld has ended up with a significant jump on the rest of the world? Whether it was just a freak accident or...?

[Deonasis]

Wowzers! Makes me want to keep checking my local incase Grimlock shows up.

[Robzy]

Awesome nostalgia factor with the packaging!! :o

Oh, and I see Rumble is blue! ;):p (I can't resist)

[theheretic]

I keep going to my toyworld but no joy. They've got all the combaticons and jazz, shockwave, Optimus but nothing as exciting as soundwaves or his minions. Maybe if I go in every day I'll find one? Or be banned from the shop, LOL

[Demonac]

They are at Toyworld Watergardens...but at $17 a pair.

[5FDP]

Ha! I was going to point that out too but I didn't want to derail the thread :p

You could always get the Soundblaster version. I had to throw up which to get because like you I have the deluxe - in the end I went with Soundwave again just because he and Lazerbeak and in the game and Soundblaster and Buzzsaw are not.

We have a toyworld in Swan Hill but it is terrible! They get in about 3 new toys a year - they still have a shelf full of ROTF Megatrons!

Sound advice however the solution to my predicament is only one month away (http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?action=details&CatType=&II=TFTRMP13&lang=us&CatID=) ;) :)

Trent might post up some photos of his own, but here are some already posted (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/generations-fall-of-cybertron-soundwaves-minions-gallery-176271/) up by Allspark on facebook (mirrored on tfw in case people can't access facebook).

BBTS has Autobots as well does this mean we'll get a Blaster?

Blaster is a remould of Soundwave/Soundblaster: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/sdcc-2012-coverage-hasbro-official-images-generations-fall-of-cybertron-grimlock-blaster-more/25342/

Yuh huh. There's plenty of pics around of him.

He has a HEAP of remolding - new head, chest, wheels I think.


Edit: Curse you, Sky Shadow!

[Barrel05]

any sightings. Is he part of the target sale

[Sky Shadow]

LOL - your post had more information than mine, though. :)

He hasn't been released anywhere yet. You only have a choice of Decepticons.

He actually looks better than Soundwave. Fits in well with the Generations in Robot mode. Not loving Grimlock in Robo mode but he's Dyno mode is awesome. Wonder if they'll bring out new designs when the comics go back to Marvel and the house of the Mouse. Can the little dudes sit in the seat at top of vehicle mode?

Errrr the comics aren't going back to Marvel.

Even in the case of a Disney sale (which seems unlikely given recent comments, logistics, and Hasbro's placing) it'd be unlikely to happen.

Yeah I know but any way to get new toys is fine by me. Any how we already have the marvel version over at IDW already

(also note that some stores are charging up to $18 each)

[Quickstrike]

I'm going to buy all of these little guys despite not owning Soundwave or Soundblaster. New Ratbat!

That's the first time I've seen that picture of Blaster. Does he have a flip down visor thing to give him a Marvel look? Man, I HOPE so.

From all the photos, it looks moulded as part of his head, so I don't think it moves. The gun is good though.
