Well from retail experience; I know that when a shelf tag is up, the product is on its way or why else waste the shelf space. My local TRU is now on my speed dial

$70? Now that a UK release has been ruled out, the import cost shouldn't be unreasonable.

Hmmm, must focus on getting MP prime first. (Though, this is a steal for TC)

In my retail experience, a shelf tag did not always mean a product was imminent. Sometimes planograms would have a tag for something that wouldn't show for months, or even ever in a couple cases!

A shelf tag only means one thing for certain - whoever does the in-store marketing for TRU for that aisle expected the product to be out by now at some point in time and made space for it - that doesn't mean for certain that it is coming soon, or even in a month or two.

I think the initial leak on this was from a planogram anyway, and wasn't that months ago?
