MP Soundwave now out in TRU stores here

[Sinnertwin]

silly question but if i can grab a couple should i do it and pass them onto other on the board? or just grab one for myself and leave the others on the shelf or other ppl/scalpers?

If you know of any members here that have communicated interest because their unable to & you're willing to help them, yes. But keep in mind that there may be fans out there who aren't members here who may also like to purchase one.
Only purchase that which you need, would be my suggestion.
Ultra Marginal also has a thread

Filled in the trusurvey online expecting the usual $5 voucher. Nada....
Stress mark at tape deck, let it go or get it replaced? just concerned that it might break sooner.

Let it go unless the next batch of SW's ends up shelfwarming?

I pointed that out to my buddy yesterday when he was playing with his. An unnecessary use of translucent plastic?

i was looking at my takara soundwave and it has the same thing. mine looks like it came from being poorly cut off a runner.

I think it is. When you look inside of the chest, it appears to be an extra piece, seperate from the clear, although darker, plastic used for the tape cover. The pin holding the cover in place is passed through both pieces anyway, unless it has some effect on the spring?

yeah, I'm just afraid of that spring since it is a very thin piece of plastic.

You could try to get another, it's unfortunate that they're in a sealed box & there's no way of checking first. No spring would diminish its playability. I wonder if it's a common issue or limited to random batches, both Hasbro & TT

Mine has the same stress mark in the exact same spot.

If the earlier TT mould had it as well, then it seems like an inherent design issue that Hasbro overlooked or didn't bother with. I can see why they used a separate piece of plastic to give that gimmick additional tolerance, but surely a less brittle type of plastic would also do?

I wonder if TT will fix it in the Soundblaster version.
