I think you misread. There nothing in that email that we don't already know

I thought that Red Alert would be MP-12A and that MP-14 would be a completely new mould, hence the hype around it the last few days. However that Facebook post says that Red Alert is MP-14.

15800 Yen, with just one cassette?:eek:
MP10 was only 30000 yen-odd more than that.

Unless Soundwave is packing some amazing gimmicks I'm gonna have to pass on him at that price.:(

TakTom releases one cassette with MP Soundwave. Third party comp will release like 20. The former should have at least announced plans to release all cassettes to try to put off the latter from making unofficial releases.

So... MP Soundwave is going to be close to $200 and only comes with one cassette... fuuu... :eek: As much as I want to get one, I cannot justify spending that amount.

Fingers crossed that Hasbro release their own locally at about $50 less otherwise my collecting drought will continue.
