ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

kinda suprised how hard Acid storm is to get ahold of.

He looks great, but I still haven't snagged one.

 

[LoneWolf]

Wow, that's surprising, considering that Acid Storm isn't a mainstream TF character.

It costs PhP4,999 here in the Philippines (approx. US$114). How much is it in the US?

75 bucks

Argh!!!
Difference of US$39, just because it's not in the US? I thought there are Hasbro factories in Southeast Asia?

Lucky you. It would be nice to have someone help out the rest of us that have been posting about finding one of these damn things.

Im doing my best to try and snag some,damn scalpers keep beating me to it. Im lookn for one for Hydeous,i could look for you too if ud like.

I hope you're right. I'd like to have a second Grimlock to display in robot mode.

I think they will come down some in price but not a whole lot. Guess we will see in the upcoming weeks.

I didn't know there would be such interest in Acid Storm... I saw a bunch at TRU over the weekend. I don't think it's a particularly hot item...

Oh, before anyone asks, I was on a road trip to the US - this wasn't a local TRU.

Boba, what kind of price range are you looking to pay?

Just wondering, because I've gotten an extra MP Grimlock in the past as part of a trade (sadly traded again, quickly - I already had one for myself, but it was to even out a trade I was making at the time), and had the opportunity to get one for a decent price or trade another time in the past year...

I mean, if you're hoping to get this in the $60-70 range you might be out of luck - if it's more like $120ish or so you never know. Just wondering if I should keep my eyes out for a deal. There seem to be a lot of TF collectors in my area, you never know...

I could probably do around that. I'd actually prefer a loose one if it's cheaper as I just plan to transform him to robot mode anyhow. I actually used to have two of the TRU Grimlocks, but one of them took a really bad shelf dive and broke, which was quite a bummer. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

 

[DPrime]

I'll keep a look-out. No promises, but there are some toy shows coming up here...

 

[kanine]

Woo, manage to get a MP Soundwave and Acid Storm at my local TRU. I'm glad to see this seems more widely available then MP Optimus, and I'm happier to see Ebay flooded with stupid scalpers trying to sell off their MP Soundwaves.

 

[Bmacattack]

Im pretty late to the game but, I got a DMK Bumblebee for a great price on ebay. Boy, I was not expecting to be this blown away! I got him after just barely missing out on DMK Optimus which I'm still looking for for a decent price. Seeing how great Bee was has made me want Optimus even more!

 

[Apone]

Got my Soundwave yesterday from TRU...great MP...love the tapes. I will say though, Rumble's jackhammers dont exactly stay locked in place..kind of just hang there. Unless I am doing it wrong

 

[karamazov80]

Someone said you have to really press them until they snap into place.

 

[YoNoSe]

If anyone in NJ is looking for Acid Storm they have 6 of them at the Watching TRU. There are 2 more every time I go back. I think they're doin' it.

Heh.

 

[the angry orc]

I was able to score Soundwave tonight at TRU. Had pretty much figured I was going to have to go the Ebay route but they had one on the shelf.

MMC Nova Prime:

It looks stunning

 

[LoneWolf]

Finally got my Hasbro MP02 Soundwave!

Congrats!

So... Not that I'm making the decision anytime soon, but if you were in the position of having both the Takara Soundwave plus tapes, and the Hasbro version, which would you keep?

NB: I'm just asking this generally, not to LoneWolf specifically - just happen to be the post after his.
