These will no be difficult to come by. The Soundwave was an extremely popular figure/character and an outstanding value compared to the import version. Unfortunately, GIJoe isn't that popular (which is exactly why the 50th anniversary doesn't see a nationwide retail release) and with a smaller vintage/anniversary fan base these will actually appear and sit on shelves for a decent amount of time.

Some notes that I recall from last year:
- Soundwave and Acid Storm were sold at the Entertainment Earth booth at SDCC 2013. Since TRU doesn't have a booth, they partnered with EE. They were not at the Hasbro booth. - There were listings for Soundwave and Acid Storm on the TRU website for weeks prior to SDCC saying they would be available on July 18th, 2013. That was the first full day of the show, rather than the week after as HTS likes to do. - Apparently, some posting on Facebook led people to believe that the items would go on sale at 9AM, but they actually went on sale at 2AM EDT. By the time 9AM rolled around, they were long gone. So, when the date rolls around, you better be on it from midnight forward. - TRU accidentally put a quantity of Soundwaves and Acid Storms for sale on the eBay storefront a week in advance. It sold out quickly, but most orders were cancelled. A few Acid Storms made it out to a few people, but I didn't hear about people receiving any Soundwaves. Do with this info what you will. As for the info about the classic Flint etc, this makes a lot more sense than making it a straight SDCC exclusive. Still not happy with the pairings though, especially since all I want are the two Eels and maybe the classic Flint. |

It's not like we're looking for Bigfoot here! It's a toy, that should have enough distribution to please everyone that wants it. I'm sure they're going to make more then 250 of them.

Knowing that the classic deco will be the TRU release, I'm confidant that I'll get the ones I want. I've got two of the MkIs and two or 3 of the MkIIs with my AWE strikers and MkIII(30/POC VAMP) will make my motor pool look complete.

That's what people said about Retaliation wave 4 as they laughed at the idea of paying $17 for a Night Viper.
