Should i get Mp-13 ???

I think $150 for MP Soundwave w/o a cassette is, while not ideal, is okay. MP13 comes with Laserbeak, but retails for 16590JPY ($174); so if Hasbro MP13 doesn't come w/ a cassette, it is $24 cheaper than TakTOM's at RRP.

Oh come one, they're already cheap out on us with the packaging.... 1 cassette should be a standard... they can leave out the Megatron gun - between that and the cassette, Id rather the latter.

Hopefully we'll get a coupon weekend with SW

I think a Hasbro release should include Buzzsaw with Soundwave but it's probably going to be the cowardly bird rather than the artistic one.

The "Classics" rerelease of Soundwave did put two tapes in the box - something that TakaraTomy hadn't done at the time IIRC - but that seemed to be inspired by the fact they were using the Soundblaster toy cosplaying as Soundwave.

At least Laserbeak or Buzzsaw would be fine for that price. It does add a whole gimmick basically.

Hasbro version of Optimus last year was half the price of the JP version, so since Soundwave isn't anywhere near half the price of the Japanese version, I'd be thinking that more than one cassette may be in it.

The recent Hasbro reissue Soundwave had four tapes (Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Ravage), and SDCC Blaster had three (Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Eject)... so Hasbro have a history of padding out a set with tapes.

Yes, 2 or 3 (maybe even all 5) would be appropriate, since Hasbro seem to like packing in as much as they can.

Awwwww, snap for the people who've already purchased the TakTOM version!! Sucked in! Oh wait, I'm one of them!! (d'oh! XO) I've already pre-ordered all the TakTOM MP cassettes too... so I guess there's no point in me getting the Hasbro version, even just for the cassettes. Unless it comes with a cassette TakTOM hasn't released like MP Ratbat! OooOOooOoOohhHHhhH... if the Hasbro version comes with a cassette not done by TakTOM, I'd be tempted to buy the toy just for that cassette and sell off the excess (at a reduced price of course). :/

I'd be perfectly OK with that... why; because from the pics that I have seen of the remaining cassettes, they all look like garbage. Considering they're also the same size as the originals, I'll just be using them with my MP Soundwave It's a win / win as I get to save for other figures like FOC Astrotrain and MP Prowl (pending pics of what they look like).
