I live 5 hours away from the nearest TRU. Any idea if the Aussie TRU will let you either reserve Soundwave or order him online? Otherwise will have to rely on big city mates to find it for me, like the last Masterpiece Prime.

I think they are underestimating how quickly Soundwave will dissapear from the shelves. I know at least 3 mates of mine that don't collect Transformers except for about 1 a decade, yet are foaming at the mouth to get this figure! Next to Prime, I think Soundwave is the most recognized and popular character to the general populace from our era. Everyone always goes "Who was the tape deck dude with the cassette guys? He was cool!"
