Actually, I think you're right there. I think it's missing ramhorn.Originally Posted by Robzy
Does it actually come with all 4 tapes? Cool - I thought it only included 3 cassettes. Even better.
Doesn't worry me that much though, I got all the encore tapes and the takara tfc blaster anyway.

It's missing Rewind - perhaps thinking that having 2 of the one mould wasn't necessary, but to me it looks incomplete.
BTW, it's appears to be the Blaster mould, not the dual-chested Twincast mould.

Meh... another reissue of already reissued toys. Doesn't interest me but good for anyone who missed out on the previous reissues.
That's good. Glad to see Hasbro learnt from their TRU Soundwave reissue.

Yay! Can probably finally get a G1 Blaster. Any sort of reissue G1 Blaster will be good for me.

Not the case dude. The original Soundwave mold is broken which is why the reissue has the double tape deck of Soundblaster.

My encore soundwave has a single deck. I'm sure it came out after my double deck commemorative soundwave.

You're both right. The Soundwave mould was destroyed, but Takara took the Soundblaster mould and rebuilt a single-deck chest door for their TFC reissue. LATER Hasbro then just took the Soundblaster mould and repainted it for their Soundwave reissue despite the fact that a retro-Soundwave reissue mould exists. TakaraTOMY then shortly after used their retro-Soundwave mould again for their Encore reissue.
While Encore Soundwave has a single-chest door, it is a Soundblaster mould because it still has Soundblaster's head (which is "fatter" than Soundwave's), Soundblaster's door hinges and buttons. Still, I much prefer Encore Soundwave over Hasbro's TRU Soundwave.
Here's comparative pics between Original G1 Soundwave (left), Encore Soundwave (centre) and Hasbro's TRU Soundwave (right):
