Same here.
Not interested in Soundwave at Takara prices, i'll wait for the Hasbro release but i went ahead and bought MP-10 (TRU Optimus Prime), MP-11 (TRU Thundercracker) and MP-09 (TRU Rodimus, for a custom project) all as one lot for a good price. Hopefully customs fee's wont be too much.
Its not often i drop so much cash on toys but it was one of those cases where i actually had the money (thanks to an unexpected commission) and the offer was there so i took it, instead of the usual situation which is seeing the offer but not having the cash.

Just saw in hand pics of that Quake Wave pics on the TFW boards. Anybody else here picking him up? I can't believe an MP of Soundwave and "MP-like" Shockwave are coming out simultaneously. I'm stoked.

I'm torn. One one hand, Shockwave seems like one of those characters Takara would do, but maybe can't, because of all the hubbub surrounding the original ownership of the toy.
Then again, he's appeared in the last movie, in Animated, in TF
rime, and FoC, and toys have/will appear for each of those. So despite any problems surrounding the ownership of the G1 mold, his "likeness" - which counts for almost nothing unless it's an exact replica of that mold - has been used a whole lot by Takara and Hasbro in recent years...And something about the FP Shockwave seems a BIT off to me, too. I don't know... we'll see I guess. But I'd feel a lot more comfortable buying a third party figure of a character we're almost certainly never to see, like Jazz, Bumblebee or any of the Minibots. However, I may not be able to resist!

You're in Australia? Maybe they're going country by country. I noticed people were getting their order confirmations the day before I was, and I'm Canadian - probably Americans got theirs sent out first, because they're presumably the largest group (and USA #1 and all that nonsense
).Or maybe it's just based on the time in which you placed your order, who knows. At any rate, they've probably got a lot of orders to go through.

Been good for me so far.
Had my MP Sideswipe from them & arrived in 2 days after I placed my order (Didn't order till in stock) & I have Soundwave on Pre-order with them.
I will be using them for the Cassette's & Prowl & Somkescreen
I think The Corsair has used them a lot as well
Definitely a reputable company

Just pilfered some pics for you...
They were from a member on TFW called Young Padawan.
He still looks pretty sweet...pink hand or not.

Kapow are awesome, I get probably 90% of my Transformers from them.
The one time they messed up with an order of mine they sent me a free Scout Class TF by way of apology and they've even held back a couple of items for me when I didn't have the cash for another few days....they probably wouldn't do that for first time customers but they also aren't obligated to do it for regulars either so I think it says a lot for how they treat customers.

This is what I want when I buy anything a good service which is why I constantly do my HT shopping with Lee @ The Good the bad & the Robots I've never had anything other than a tip top service, simply the best onlins shopping experience ever.
I can also say Kapow come in in almost the same way.
When I was getting ready to order my MP SW I popped them a couple of emails because I might have been moving in the time between placing my order & him being shipped so wanted to make sure they would be fine with amending the delivery address if I needed too (Turns out I didn't but you never know)
Anyway got quick polite replies from Andy & Charlotte saying everything would be fine & no issues.
It's a first class outfit & I will be ordering all my future MP's from them.

Lee is also excellent to do business with, the smaller dealers can't always manage the same prices as the bigger ones but the level of customer service is always much better and it makes the whole experience of collecting this stuff go a lot smoother.
Next week should be good as my Avengers Captain America is expected to arrive ( via Lee ) on Tuesday and Soundwave will probably be here by the weekend if Kapow's shipment arrives on the 30th as expected
Fans Toys Shockwave is looking very nice, subject to in hand reports on the QC being good I'll be giving it major consideration for a purchase.
EDIT
I just read in the Shockwave thread at TWF that Fans Toys are also looking into making Jetfire/Skyfire.
