I found a contact that had a spare set unfortunately it was sold - I was a week late

No worries, I'm sure they will be on shelves here for at least a few days if not a week or two.

I couldn't wait for the local release so I managed to grab one when they were available on the toys r us website and used a U.S forwarding company. I used the cheapest shipping options and it only just arrived yesterday. The yellow eyes don't bother me as I've got the Hasbro in alt mode and my Takara in robot mode. The best thing about it is all the cassettes in the one package. The packaging is awesome and I'm surprised its in flawless condition after a long journey. All up it cost me just over $150 US dollars. I'm over the moon.

The yellow eyes is the best variation on the Hasbro version IMO since G1 Soundwave's eyes were originally yellow anyway! It was only the cartoon that had it red, but the original toy (and Microman toy) had a yellow visor, as did the G1 comics, story books etc etc etc. Soundwave had a yellow visor in the majority of G1 media.

Yes but for a lot of fans cartoon is king. Any variation away from it is seen as ruining it forever!!

That's true about the cartoon. I have a few friends that like the odd TF (Soundwave is a favourite along with Smokescreen) but were never interested in other associated media. To them, Soundwave's always had a red visor & Rumble is blue.

Thought Frenzy was blue, and rumble was red in cartoon?
