Not for me either, but for different reasons. The cassettes do interest me, but the fact is that I've already purchased TakTOM MP Soundwave (it's sitting in Japan awaiting shipment to me). My Cassettrons are on preorder, but if I cancel them I just end up with a cassetteless Soundwave, but if I get the Hasbro version I'd get the Cassettes, but with an excess Soundwave and Laserbeak. So for me, in my current situation, it'd be cheaper for me to keep my existing pre order. I guess I should just be glad that I paid the cheapest prices that I could find for my Soundwave and Cassettes -- $126 for Soundwave and $67 for the Cassettes, so $193 all told. Yes it does mean I'm paying $43 more than what the local version would cost me but considering that my Soundwave has already been received, the horse has well and truly already bolted for me.

If I hadn't already gotten Soundwave, I'd cancel all my Japanese preorders and wait for the local version. But yeah... "It's too late for me, Luke..."
