Behold, a second chance in the form of a Target Exclusive has been found at retail! The Target exclusive Bumblebee Movie leader class Soundwave has been spotted at US Retail. This remold of Titans Return Leader Soundwave comes with his Titan master partner Doombox. 2005 Board member ahchu reports finding him at his local Target in Pleasant Hill, CA. Isn’t that pleasant? It’s a second chance if you missed Titans Return Leader Class Soundwave the first go around. Additionally, ahchu makes mention that if you add the Red card to the Cartwheel app you can get 10% off (This may not apply to all stores). Hopefully this means the Bumblebee movie cassette 3-pack with Howlback, Buzzsaw, Frenzy and the 1-step Bumblebee isn’t that far behind to go with this set! Lastly, the DPCI for this figure is 087-06-8176.

Not sure why it came out sideways, sorry.

So, I opened it…not bad, but not great. Feels like $35 would have been a better price for this. For the money, it should have a cassette with him. Maybe it will grow on me…
Here is a bad cell phone pic, as it is 11:30pm and I need to go to bed.

I'm waiting for a sale.

Picked it up on my way home. Really like the packaging. I haven't opened it yet, as I have to say, I'm not sure if I really want to spend like $50 on this with all the other options out there.

It's not that they keep him from standing, but they do keep the ankle from going up into the leg all the way, and more so on mine because, my copy has simi-loose ankles, so removing the ramps makes it so the top of the foot touches the bottom of the leg witch makes him feel way more stable. (And don't worry, the ankle tilt still works, you just pull the foot down a little)

How do the ramps keep yours from standing?

Welcome to the forums!
And ya, he is a really nice figure, and I don't know if you have the TR version, but I think the Target version is way better!
Btw you might want to pop off the base mode ramps in the leg because (with mine at least), it helps him stand…

If it goes to clearance, I might get it. Otherwise… nah.
I have Blaster and 3 Masterpiece Soundwaves.

Just saw this thread, as I just joined today. My local store has two left, so I think I am going to order one online and pick it up on my way home. Seems like a cool version of Soundwave.

Yup, it's worth the few extra bucks in my opinion. I was bummed about Hasbro & Takara "unifying" their designs with Power of the Primes. Imagine what Takara would have done with POTP Optimus.

Thanks for sharing. That Takara one makes me not even want to buy the Target one anymore.

I finally found Soundwave and the cassette pack this afternoon. I like it better than the original Titans Return Soundwave, but I think I still like the Takara LG36 the best. Here's a comparison pic of all three.

Yeah they are in there in a little plastic baggie. Not crazy about that, it's quite easy to see how they might get left out…
PrimalPrime
The weapons are included, I was just unfortunate. I've checked another and confirmed it.

HeyMickey over on Twitter found the Bumblebee and Cassette pack at a Target

Yes. There was nothing except instructions. There is nowhere for the two ices to be attached either. They would have been loose. The box was completely sealed. I cut the tape myself. It's possible we got a bad box. Does anyone have physical confirmation that these pieces are included?
Nevermore
Have you tried looking behind or under the cardboard insert?
