You don't know how hard it is for me having to put off Preordering the Takara Voyager Soundwave man...

Dooo iiiiiit.

So Soundblaster's sold out. I suppose people already have a deluxe Soundwave which probably makes the Voyager less interesting.

Those people have questionable decision making abilities.
I really want to but I've got so many Preorders going at the moment already...

Well considering Hasbro is decreasing the amount of paint aps and their quality while keeping the same price, the Japanese not following suite and maintaining their standards more or less justifies the price rise.

Aside from that my friend who went to visit his Japanese friends said that everyone's wage went up and then cost of living (and extras like toys) caught up.

What's the extra piece included with Frenzy & Rumble?

Just an educated guess, but it looks like a piece to store their pile-drivers when they're not in use...which also happens to make them look passably like a pair of batteries. Well played, TakTom.

Exactly my thoughts too dude ; Bloody hell I can't wait for these MPs to arrive , The Takara FoC Voyager Soundwave really does look so beautiful... Urgh, must resist!

I think they're meant to be the propellers that Frenzy* used to quickly get out of the river at Sherman Dam after fighting Hound in "More Than Meets The Eye Part 2."

Having just watched that clip I don't think MP Spike is going to be tall enough to tackle Frenzy.

More of the same display, with different angles and close-ups.
