AmiAmi sells stuff out fast, so theres no surprise there that it sold out within 15 minutes of my post and yours. Plus I don't even know when they had it open for purchase. Could've been for a few hours at the most.
Usually over the weekend for me, but thats with AmiAmi. It shouldn't be that much different.

if you choose RK fastest shipping ems how long it takes to arrive to the us?

AmiAmi has MP Soundwave available for 11,580 yen, which converts to $130.77. Shipping should vary between $10-25.

so bbts is shipping them now?

Well even if it doesn't release this fall I don't see resellers price exceeding $200 shipped so you should be ok to wait.
For example, you can still get MP-11 for $190 shipped.

I just gotta keep telling myself….Hold out for the Hasbro Release…Hold out for the Hasbro Release…Hold out for the Hasbro Release…Hold out for the Hasbro Release…
Based on the pricing for Masterpiece Optimus Prime, Thundercracker and Rodimus, I gotta think if this gets release stateside, we're looking at $100 to $130 with Laserbeak, Rumble and Ravage included.

159.99 was what US stores first listed him at.
I was going to pay that, got funds from selling some old power rangers stuff, and TF source was out (wanted the free shipping). Checked through the junkion here though luckily and scored a mib one for $130 shipped. Made my day.
I think the price for SW is ok though. I'm still going to wait on a US hasbro release though, kinda think it's inevitable. Just other places money has to go this year so gotta pick and choose carefully.

I think the bitching is more apparent because it is a more desirable figure.
And because it's on the boards.

Cheers. So then, like I said in a similar thread, I don't seem to remember this amount of bitching about his price even tho he is smaller, has less extras and is a retool of an older figure. Odd that.
RustyBarnacles
I think you're right. If I recall it started at $150 for preorders, then was increased to either 179 or 189.
Now you're lucky to find it retail for under $250
