IA - Transformers G1 Soundwave

[KELPIE]

The convention is the same as the BBTS version.

So at this point there are 2 versions.

However, there are the pics just above (in this thread) that show both Rumble and Frenzy. Not sure if that's going to be a new version or if they are just being awesome and adding the final core tape to the display?

$999 is a pretty good price. I don't remember how much I paid, however I'm fairly sure it was more than that.

I hope IA would release a stand alone ravage statue

To be honest, I'd rather a Blaster statue with all his tapes to pair up with this first.

I just want predaking lol

Soundwave looks awesome. Anyone have any insight on IA quality/look?

A lot of scary stories out there about IA not getting replacements out to people in a reasonable amount of time.

I went ahead and ordered the US Exclusive from BBTS despite all this so I just hope I get lucky and get a good one. I also know BBTS' reputation which is excellent so hopefully they could assist me if I get a damaged piece.

All in all though, I really tossed and turned on this one. In the end, I can't see another G1 Soundwave coming out again in the next decade so I felt that as a Transformers enthusiast I should get it. There will always be more Prime's and Megatron's but I think there will only be one Soundwave

That's they way I thought about it, Xm might
might make one but no way I am going to pay
those amounts. I own Hulkbuster and that is a masterpiece.

You MAY be wrong in that assumption.

I grabbed mine from BBTS also.

There may be more Soundwaves, however with IA mentioning a possible Blaster companion piece this was a must get.

Replacements and actual products.

I'm still waiting on my Hulkbuster from them.
