Was the Soundwave toy released in England?


I could never find him in the shops.Also there was no sign of Blaster also.

Soundwave was, Blaster wasn't.

Thanks for the info did Soundwave come with any cassettes like Ravege or Rumble?

So it's treason then!

reply

Yes he did, his cassette-bot was Buzzsaw, very similar to Laserbeak. I'm prety sure Soundwave was a limited edition toy in the UK - as there weren't many of him available in stores, or I started collecting Transformers too late...

reply

I remember never being able to find Soundwave in the shops as a kid so you revealing that he was a limited edition makes sense.A school friend of mine got Blaster when he went to the U.S on holiday.It's a shame that Soundwave and Blaster were not more available in the shops.

So it's treason then!

Yeah - tell me about it! The Constructicons, Perceptor, Roadbuster, Whirl, Swoop the Dinobot (I have read in a collectors book that Swoop was a limited edition) and the deluxe Insecticons...and that's all from the first toy range. I do remember a shop some where I lived, back in the late eighties that had a competion where they had Fortress Maximus (Headmaster, largest Transformer toy ever made) as a prize! But by that time in my life I was too old for toys lol!

I got G1 Scorpoknock for christmas as a child but no Fortress Maximus as stated earlier he was a limited edition in England.Shockwave was another impossible toy to obtain in the shops.I did however find him at a car boot sale when I was older.
