It could have been 50 minutes at one stage, but I had to take care of a few things first before I had the time to read the e-mail because it had been waiting for half and hour before I actually read it. But anyway, Soundwave! Woo Woo!Originally posted by StoneCold Skywarp
Damn you Oz boy, beat me by 20 minutes

Looks like they repaired the moulds enough to be used. This news made my week. Now the question becomes, "What will the premium be?" A Soundblaster with only 1 tape slot?
Seems odd that they're releasing him alone, too. Wonder if #11 will be released at the same time or later? Either way, this is great news.

Maybe they'll do them like they are with the micromaster reissues and PVC with chases and stuff, that would be interesting. Perhaps even those rare Japanese tapes
I wonder if they'd only include the decepticon tapes or perhaps go with the Autobot ones as well
As for Buzzsaw - I thought Takara is going for authenticity, so they would reissue him with Buzzsaw - that's what he came with originally
BTW - Going back to previous threads. Anyone know weather it's the Soundwave or SoundBlaster mould that's being used
My bets are we'll also see a soundblaster repaint as a preimium

It'll be the Soundwave mould, I expect... like you say correctly, Takara tend to go for authenticity That said, Takara's original Soundwave came with Rumble - http://members.lycos.co.uk/tfdatabase/j ... .html#cass - Buzzsaw only came out in 1986 as part of the VSZ giftset - http://members.lycos.co.uk/tfdatabase/j ... ns.html#vs [damn, I've left some of those rollovers bloody huge :/] - I hope that isn't bad news about the Rumble/Frenzy mould
I reckon they'll just take longer to announce #12, which'll be relatively m'eh - something that's already been reissued or somesuch. They're not generally announced four months ahead, are they? So I reckon they're just letting us all know Soundwave is go early. He's also likely to be the biggest-selling "book" reissue so far, so if they have preorders they know how many to make

Now are you sure that it's Soundwave & Buzzsaw not Soundwave & Rumble cause the Japs do release Soundwave with Rumble you know & it could be possilble that he could be wrong.
