BigBadToyStore (BBTS) (America) items

Just seems real convenient that BBTS suddenly had MP-13 "In stock" and a few hours later pre-orders for a second run pop up on various online retailers at a fraction of the cost.

I'm just speculating, but it does seem as though they kept a number of these for sale at a later date when the market price had gone up to make themselves a higher profit. They just didn't count on Soundwave receiving a second run.

Wouldnt be suprised if they did.
Considering the release date of the Hasbro version has also been pushed back, it could be assumes that it was move on TT's part to manufacture alongside the Hasbro version and sell some more units of the JP release.
