1. The price for GX-02 Soundwave has been reduced from 4,000 Yen (4,200 Yen including tax) to 3,500 Yen (3,675 Yen including tax). This doesn't come exactly surprising, since Soundwave is Mega/Voyager sized (4,000 Yen is the Ultra price point). Why his price is still that high (Megas are 3,000 [3,150] Yen in Japan) is still unknown. Electronics?

2. Skids has indeed been changed to BT-16 and will come out November 18. Wildrider has been indefinitely postponed (as reported by HLJ yesterday).

Theories on Soundwave: Perhaps his Condor is bigger than the minicon that came with Vector Prime, so in essence he has a big minicon to accompany him? Electronics could work, but Vector Prime had them too. There's more than meets the eye in that figure...

Wildrider: I'm guessing a december\January release. Why they did that is beyond me. He should be much simpler to produce than Skids, since he's not an entirely new mould. Or they wanted to give collectors a break (Two BTA releases and one regular at the same month? Give us a break)
