Is there a chance that Hasbro will make MP Soundwave?

It's only a matter of time before there is a Hasbro release for MP Soundwave. However it can be a long time but it will happen.

Almost certainly.

They released both MP Optimus Primes, Grimlock, Hot Rod, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. Besides Megatron (gun issues) and some repaints they've released them all. They may not have all (or any of) the tapes but Soundwave's a hugely recognisable TF for them to sell as a store exclusive.

With the sellout success of the recent Optimus Prime and Thundercracker, TRU might even try to sell the Japanese version like they did with Ghost Starscream and Target did with Ultra Magnus and MP4 Prime.

The sell out success would be more impressive if they didn't have such low stocks of those items. I didn't even see them here. As it has been said, MP Soundwave will more than likely get a release here but not sure if you'll get to see it after the low numbers for the last two

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed we'll see an easy to obtain at retail and reasonably priced hasbro version. Pretty as it is, I just can't justify (afford) the cost of the Takara version.

Better question - is there a chance the average TF fan will even be able to get a hold of a Hasbro MP Soundwave when it comes out?

That's hard to predict. Rodimus was plentiful, but Optimus Prime was hell rare, but then much later popped up in quantities in a few locations. <shrug>

Already imagined and digibashed

Nice!

I'd say about a year (give or take a month or so). MP10 was released in September 2011, and the Hasbro version came out here in October 2012 - so it was about 13 months between the Japanese and Australian releases. That's not too bad. (it's just finding the sucker that was the uber frustrating part)

Just in time for Christmas

Hmmm does that mean that Hasbro are not likely to get anymore stock of MP-10?

I never saw him in stores in October, but I had been assuming they'll get a lot more stock of him sometime soon - since it is frigging Optimus Prime after all!

Is there no indication of that happening?

[Paulbot]

There were two shipments to Aus if I recall correctly, but I'd say both have happened by now. Very unlikely there will be any restock unless there's some sitting in a warehouse somewhere. I never saw one in store either.

Contact TRU head office if you still need one.

I 'd say they would probably release a soundblaster.

Useless. I tried. None.
