Description

The listing, Pre-transformers Soundwave (Micro change Cassette man) has ended.

Before there were Transformers, there were Micro Change robots. This was before Takara or Hasbro produced Transformers.

This is an extremely rare figure/box to find. Trust me I am a collector and have searched the web. I happen to have 2 of these, so am selling this second one. When I see them online, they easily go for $200 plus. This one isn't in mint condition, so I am selling it for points here instead. Still something you could turn around and sell online if you wanted for quite a bit.

This is for the Soundwave version, labelled as "Cassette Man". Bear in mind that this is the Taiwan version, made by Shinto. This is technically a knock off of the original ones produced and comes with the panther figure Ravage. Additionally I threw in a lazerbeak cassette, as you will see in one photo.

As you will be able to see, the box is not in perfect condition, but far from bad. The clear plastic window is missing. the bottom tabs on the sides of the box are missing. See pictures for details.

The figure is in great condition however, as well as the panther/hawk cassette tap. You will see the accessories it comes with.

Shipping is to the continental United States only. It will be packaged in bubble wrap and secured for safe transport, so I can reduce any chance of damage during shipping.

I haven't sold enough on here to officially list a "Get it now" option. Just for records sake.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Well darn it I found another item that I wanted a bit more then this so I spent what I had and am allready outbid so I wish someone luck on this fine toy!!!

May 8th, 2013 at 3:23:38 AM PDT by

Thanks brother for the bidding.

May 8th, 2013 at 6:20:35 AM PDT by

The heat is on!

May 8th, 2013 at 1:14:02 AM PDT by

I hope so.

May 8th, 2013 at 6:51:56 AM PDT by

Actualy it is 16,000 for $40 bucks at the moment brother!! so if you get 50,000 thats over $100 bucks worth of credits if you were to buy them man!!!

May 7th, 2013 at 7:42:47 PM PDT by

We will just have to see if anyone else is willing to buy credits to bid against you. Granted it would be worth it for them to do, and no offense to you, but I hope they do. If it wasn't my auction, I would hope you would get it for cheap and no one would bid against you. I can't say that in this case, lol.

May 7th, 2013 at 8:26:53 PM PDT by

The credits arent that cheep Todd go to the buy credits now thing you actualy pay around $40 bucks for 20,000 or a bit more depending on what specials they have going that day but they are kind of high the last time I checked the other day it was like 12,000 and some for $20 so if you look at it that way if you get 50,000 credits that would be about $80 at least man!!! So you wont be ripped off brother!! I am willing to go alot higher then that to so I wont let you feel underbid man!! I will go all in if it takes!!!

May 7th, 2013 at 7:40:37 PM PDT by

Thanks bro.

May 8th, 2013 at 6:51:48 AM PDT by

i got in a bid war yesterday so ran short on credits so cant bid but i was lucky today got a g1 sound wave in the box for $9 at a yard sell and g1 prime in box $20

May 7th, 2013 at 7:34:15 PM PDT by

Congrats. Nice finds.

May 7th, 2013 at 8:24:17 PM PDT by

You will have enough credits for your daughters stuff you want for her B-Day brother I promise !!! Fan me back if you would Great auction!!!

May 7th, 2013 at 6:12:22 PM PDT by

I will definitely fan you back. It seems like you are a Soundwave fan also, so any friend of Soundwave is a friend of mine.

May 7th, 2013 at 7:09:35 PM PDT by

I will bid 20,000 on this or more wish you could GIN brother!! Freaking awesome I will even bid over 50,000 or as much as it takes its on man!!!

May 7th, 2013 at 5:15:55 PM PDT by

Thanks brother. Since I already have a bidder, I cannot in good faith turn around and put a GIN price. Plus I don't think I have been a seller enough to do that anyway. Good luck.

May 7th, 2013 at 7:08:47 PM PDT by

well im watching sure hope the bidders get to bidding as all these are going to do is increase in value and you get the box too

May 5th, 2013 at 1:34:00 PM PDT by

i appreciate that.

May 5th, 2013 at 3:27:14 PM PDT by

yea the cassette man was the 1st then the recorder bot 4 years ago i got the cassette man off ebay almost $300 a recorder bot for about $75 then a sound wave fr like $100 from same collector looked for more and these cassette man are the highest priced ones to be found if you can find them

May 5th, 2013 at 11:56:35 AM PDT by

Yep, sounds about right. I currently have every version of Soundwave that I can find. I am missing a couple, but unwilling to pay the $600 on EBay right now for one I am missing. If I didn't have this extra one, that isn't in mint condition, I wouldn't be giving it up on here. I guess I could just sell it on EBay and then buy the points, but figured I would give a chance to someone that maybe doesn't have the money, but has tons of points. In actuality, like someone posted below, it is would probably closer to 150-200 thousand points, but since I am new on here, I couldn't put the bid starting at that. I hope it doesn't come back to bite me.

May 5th, 2013 at 1:15:23 PM PDT by

You can tell I love transformers I love it since I was 2

May 3rd, 2013 at 4:14:01 PM PDT by

All of them are okay, but I just prefer Soundwave only.

May 3rd, 2013 at 4:47:04 PM PDT by

You are only hoping for 20,000 points for this? This toy worth 200 bucks or more. 20,000 points I make weekly listing junk. Roughly 20,000 points is equivalent to 15-20 dollars. I hope you at LEAST get 200,000 no less than that or you are losing a lot of money.

May 3rd, 2013 at 12:50:55 AM PDT by

Yeah, my math skills suck when it comes to points verses dollars conversion. I see your point and agree totally. If it doesn't start getting the bidding started, I am prone to just removing it from here completely. I already extended it back out to a 10 day auction from a 3 day, still no hits. I understand some people like to wait till the last second to try and win something, but I thought I would get a nibble at least with this. We shall see how long I let this sit here.

May 3rd, 2013 at 5:58:13 AM PDT by

I believe I can get the credits because I would love to add cassette man Aka Soundwave to my collection

May 2nd, 2013 at 12:50:35 PM PDT by

Well good luck. I am hoping that it gets to around 20,000 to make the points truly worth the monetary value, but I will roll the dice on this one.

May 2nd, 2013 at 1:08:24 PM PDT by

Thank you.

May 1st, 2013 at 10:37:40 PM PDT by

No problem.

May 2nd, 2013 at 8:55:53 AM PDT by

Any chance you'll reduce shipping charge to $12 for priority mail shipping?

May 1st, 2013 at 8:36:07 AM PDT by

After reviewing the size of box I need to ship it in, I should be able to get it for the flat rate for priority shipping. I will reduce the shipping cost accordingly.

May 1st, 2013 at 8:52:56 PM PDT by

I can respect that I hope I can get cassette man aka sound wave because he is one of the hardest fugues to get your hands on so I'm watching for now good luck

Apr 30th, 2013 at 7:44:15 PM PDT by

I wish you the best of luck. I was lucky to find 2 of these in the last year on Ebay.

May 1st, 2013 at 8:52:24 PM PDT by

I don't have the credits but I can pay for the shipping

Apr 30th, 2013 at 3:29:14 PM PDT by

Sorry, but I am sacrificing a lot as it is for only selling it for points. If I was taking cash, it would be more than $100, since I could get that on Ebay. It should go for 20,000+ points based on how much points cost to buy. I would just like the points right now more than the cash. I just want to get a comparative amount of points though if I can.

Apr 30th, 2013 at 7:42:30 PM PDT by

A little trivia for those that don't know:
The MC-10 that is on the Generation 1 Soundwaves from Hasbro and Takara, are references to this Micro Change #10 figure. Same with the "010" on the tape counter for the Soundwave figures.

Plus it is only fair that way. Otherwise it is kind of like false advertisement or changing the details on a contract after someone signs it. I don't want to be able to be accused of pulling the rug out from underneath anyone, figuratively. I know how excited I was when I found this extremely rare figure. So being fair, I want to give everyone a decent chance.

May 2nd, 2013 at 8:46:00 AM PDT by

I am going to put the auction back to it's original 10 day duration, just in case some that started watching it, didn't realize that I reduced it. Plus with 4 hours to go and zero bids, I am getting discouraged.

May 2nd, 2013 at 8:43:25 AM PDT by

sweet a pre dioclone if im not mistaken it was a cassette man then the recorder robot and then the g1 sound wave all look the same but this being the rare one that was not many made

May 5th, 2013 at 10:18:08 AM PDT by

I personally haven't seen the "recorder robot", but this is definitely pre G1 Soundwave.

I am going to remove the shipping cost and just pay it out of pocket, since it shouldn't be too much to ship, just in the states. Just a heads up for anyone that might have been scared away by that. I really need the points instead.

Would you consider offers

May 1st, 2013 at 5:48:00 AM PDT by

I sent you a private message. As long as no one bids on it, offers are an option.

May 1st, 2013 at 8:52:42 PM PDT by

I am starting to worry though, since there hasn't been any bids. If I end up not getting any, I will plan on just testing my luck on Ebay after all, instead of re-listing it or extending the sale time. I am hoping to get the points though.
