I don't think I remember seeing him on shelves myself, I know he was though ;), but I wasn't 100% back into TFs at that point either and at that time I certainly would never of spent $200 on a sole figure... My how that mindset has changed! :p:DQuote:

I now feel old hearing you guys saying how MP02UM was 'before your time'.
Geez, I got the world scoop on the announcement and first pics, on the old ozfigures.com site.
Gave us HUGE traffic.
Only time was beat was by us again getting a world-first reveal, of a toy for the then-upcoming Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith line.
I do mean actively participating in the public TF community :DQuote:

(My TF homes now being OZformers & Twitter :))
Hence you can see why my knowledge of things, prior to 2010, was extremely lacking. :o
The thing to note is THAT Ultra Magnus is NOT Ultra Magnus, is a white Optimus Prime from Santa Claus.
Now, this coming Ultra Magnus if done with trailer and everything......yup, that will fly off the shelf, but depends on the price.
I now have my Soundwave, very excited :D Thank you TRU Australia!
Posts like this never cease being great to see! :DQuote:

Exactly. I remember the first Ultra Magnus and he was just an effort to get an additional sale with minimal extra effort. Without the trailer it isn't really Ultra Magnus. Having deliberately passed up MP02 I will jump at the opportunity to buy an Ultra Magnus with trailer.Quote:

At $300 I don't think I'd be buying an MP soundwave, and I might have thought about Ghost Starscream if it had been $100.Quote:

Hearing about Purchases of $100 and under makes my brain hurt. I saw one sell at some point from a store in the city (where the EB Games is now in Galleries victoria) for $380 I think. I just can't imagine that toy ever shelf warming.
I have now a spare mp soundwave to sell because a mate changed his mind, $150 & can collect from campbelltown or penrith, PM if interested.
Might be, PM sent
Not sure if I'm missing something, but what does this tab on the back of MP Soundwave do?

It helps with ejecting the cassettes when you put in more than one. Pretty much pushes the next one forward
I can't get the pile drivers bit with rumble and frenzy, how do you lock them in?

Thank you, was a simple clip in. Didn't do it hard enough.Quote:

I know I said that I wouldn't get a MP Hasbro Soundwave, but I caved. My mate managed to pick up 3 Soundwaves and 2 Acid Storms so I ended up getting one of the Soundwave from him.
Anyone able to find any in their area to hook a guy up?
Im in Hong Kong on transit for a couple of days. Picked up a brand new takara soundwave this evening for a really good price.
I've had enough of the whole hasblow distribution crap.
hey man, I'd be really keen if you haven't already sold it? I can't seem to PMQuote:

HLJ still sells them for a pretty decent price. Much better thanQuote:

is anyone still looking for a mp 1 or 2 ?
went and purchased the last Hasbro Soundwave today at my local TRU store (with my 25% off voucher too!).
Very happy. i recently purchased frenzy/buzzsaw knock off from ebay and i should mention that the KO's are done really well.. from the box to the actual toys. The only probs is the ground pounders dont fit perfectly on frenzy's arms but still good enough to pose.
$30 aint bad and if anyone wants them let me know since i dont need em!
Well done on getting one!
you got one yet Twizz?
Yep yesterday got the last one as wellQuote:

Bankstown had one the other day, in a store room, I'm not sure if they have any more. I have a feeling that a few have been delivered at a later date, and missed the rush. as such it's a matter of calling around to see if there is any stock.Quote:

Hi all, I just came across the forum whilst on a renewed search of my childhood lol. I was wondering if anyone knows of any MP Soundwaves in Sydney stores? What was the retail price? I case I decide to go on to ebay to get ripped :)
Was the ones recently released at TRU in Oz MP-02?
Sorry for all the questions in my first post.
Hello & welcomeQuote:

Original retail price was $149.99, but he was also available with 25% off in November, which lowered the price down to $112.50
Yes, it was the MP02 with the 5 cassettes.
Great thanks for the help. I'm finding the more I look the more other masterpieces I'm interested in. This could go badly lolQuote:

$280? pretty sure there are some on ebay at $180 - $220. If you do not really care about the other tapes then just by the Takara Tomy version at $140 or less shipped to you. I would do this at this stage.Quote:
