Gallery of Music Label Spark Blue Soundwave Now On-Line!

Wow, that figure is perfect!

That's brilliant! I love the shots of the HUGE Tf's with can's on and rocking to his tunes!

That's awesome.

Question - Is the SDMini Card included?

We heard reports that it wasn't but I saw pictures with of a SD card with a Decepticon logo on it.

The miniSD card is NOT included. I bought mine separately that see used in the Music Label Soundwave galleries.

Thanks for the pictures Ryan.

Enjoy:

No problem, Maldroth. I'm glad that you enjoyed Soundwave's gallery.

the lack of movable sets of fingers is the only thing that keeps me from considering this a "Masterpiece Soundwave"!

Mold: 9/10 (no movable fingers!)
Paintjob: 10/10
Transformation: 10/10
Articulation: 10/10
Accessories and props: 10/10

Fantastic job!

From everything I've read no its not included but you know what that sounds like a cool Repo label to make, something that fits on a miniSD card with either the Autobot or Decepticon logos, perhaps some other graphics to make it look like a tape, or key or something. Definately would be cool.

So how much did you peeps spend on yours?

I wonder if they'll make one for Blaster? That would be really cool.

They are. Black repaint coming in November.

Blaster is the orange Autobot Tape Player, you are thinking of Soundblaster, which is the black Soundwave repaint.

Damn! Yeah, i was thinking of Soundblaster. Blaster was the black radio guy.

That would actually be pretty cool. A little retooling and you've got a nice looking mp3 playing Blaster.

Genius...the fact that it doesnt come with a mini SD card maks me mad...(bringing the figure total to 120 bucks)...But that doesnt mean I dont want it!

being a sound engineer - how's the player actually sound? i have read mixed reviews on it being a pretty shitty mp3 player..
where as the controls (or lack there of) doesn't bother me, but if it doesn't sound good, i'm not interseted. and i understand mp3 coding and kb's.. if you put a decently encoded mp3 file, does it sound as good as say the ipod or psp sounds with the same file?

You just had to put pics on the thread page didnt you. Even though ive seen 2 pics im still not looking. I cant look. From what ive seen though the figure looks awsome and i will be getting one during the 2nd run when i have money. Think ill get the soundblaster one. I have alot of soundwaves.

Ah, this will be my 4th Soundwave, and the best. Man, I can't wait! I wish A3U was a little quicker with their shipping.

Also need to update my archives at home with fresh, crisp pictures from Seibertron.com.

I'm also curious as to its quality as an Mp3 player. I don't have an Mp3 player yet (I've been covetting my wife's since Christmas) and if this is as good or almost as good as a comparably priced nontransforming Mp3 player I'll probably get it.

I've heard it's not so great, but whatever, it's Soundwave!

Who says Soundwave is uncrasimatic?

Hmm, I just realized the card I have is SD, not mini. Doh!

It sounded great to me. I listened to the opposite Soundwave of what I was taking a photogallery of. I probably listened to around 20 songs or so while I was doing the photos. Using the same Sony earbuds that I use with my Dell laptop, it sounded just fine. In fact, I was surprised that it sounded just as good as my laptop.

The Frenzy/Rumble headphones are crap though (I did listen to a song with those on). I didn't try to use the headphones that came with Soundwave. I imagine those are crap as well. I'll use my $40 Sony earbuds that I absolutely love.

If I could figure out how to make the songs play in a random order, I would actually use Soundwave as an actual player. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have this option. I keep hoping that someone will discover a button pattern that you can press to get the songs to play randomly.

Nothing in the manual along those lines.

i'm surprised instead of having his tapedeck be for the card....they didnt make it an LCD screen. they could have easily found a way for the card to be inserted from the back or something. but then with an LCD, you'd probably have all the play options normal players have these days. and also, how cool would it be to have a screen on his chest. lol

Pro: Perfect Soundwave
Con: MP3 Player

To buy or not to buy, that is the question!

Wow.

Just Wow.
*shells out lots of money*

BeautifulBeautifulBeautifulBeautifulBeautiful!!! Thank you for the the blue gallery Ryan!! I STILL have to pick this guy up. I guess I'll be waiting til November though. Still, this'll tie me over.

I so want this released without the electronics in the Classics 2.0/Universe line, but I don't think that it will happen, as they don't plan on putting the same charactor in both lines.

Of course, they said at one point that MP-03 Starscream wouldn't come to the U.S. either

Now if only they would release another version without the MP3 capabilities and at half the price I'd snap it up in an instant.
I still think the alt mode looks a little bland, but that's nothing that Reprolabels won't be able to fix.

I too want one without the mp3 capability at a decent price. They'd sell by the truckload that way in the new classics line. I love that he can press the button on his shoulder.

What disappoints me about this figure is you can't use the Convoy Ipod docking truck with him. I'm going to try him with speakers to see how he sounds. Anybody try that yet?

I did.

I went out and got a pair of 1 watt x 2 powered Sony portable speakers.

Then I copied a bunch of Soundwave clips and TF related songs (Stan Bush, etc...) to the 512MB mini SD card I got today.

The sound quality is ok. Nothing great, even a little "tinny" sounding. That could be the speakers though. The earbuds sound a bit fuller.

If you are looking for an MP3 player, get an iPod or something else. Other types are slimmer, can store more music, sound better, and are cheaper to replace.

If you want an amazing (Classic) Soundwave that plays music and audio clips (like Laserbeak...Rumble... Ravage, eject eject eject!) then look no further than Music Label Soundwave.

I am very please with mine. Very pleased.

Total cost:
figure: $85
shipping: $10
mini 512 mb sdcard $15 (1 gb were about $35 but 512 was enough for my needs)
external speakers $30

The awesomeness that is Music Soundwave - priceless.

I plugged him into my computer speakers. He sounded more bassy and fuller than my PC does, but otherwise he sounded fine to me
(and the speakers, external power supply, were probably one of the reason my battery lived for 18 hours.)
It took a little bit of fiddeling around to find the perfect cross between Soundwave's volume setting and the speakers' volume setting.

I think if had plugged him into my old Walkman speakers, he'd have sounded tinny, too, because those sound tinny per default.

Where did you find the SW TF audio files? Those would be cool to throw on in between songs and such.

So far, after 8 months, my wife still hasn't found a way to make her more expensive Samsung shuffle either, so I think I could deal if that's the only major complaint you have so far.

two ?s: what/how many batteries does it take, & is teh sd mini card required?

all i can find are asian versions? all the pictures i've seen from stores & other places have asian languages on the inside flap of the box, is it only available from asia? are there no plans for a US & CAN release? i heard they got rid of the white color versions to make way for black...do i need to worry about them discontinuing the blue after 2nd stock sells? let me know, cuz i got the cash ready for this...

PS. any word on other transformer players?

(last edit, sorry)
