    Seriously, when was the last time someone reported a fake sighting?

    Yeah, but I wouldn't. I didn't even have to. I did it because I was excited and I thought others might be, but all I get is grief.

    still waiting for someone to tell me how to add pictures to the message board......

    If you aren't linking the image to a website you need "Go Advanced" when you post. Then choose to "Add Attachment" (the paper clip icon). Then select the image file to upload it. I'm not sure how well it works on IOS, but that is what you would do from a computer

    TRU probably already has their stock. It's very likely that Hasbro told them not to put the figure on shelves until a certain date and this TRU just didn't comply with that request.

    I was at a local TRU a couple weeks back and they were restocking their shelves. I happened to notice a box of Hobbit figures that was lying on the floor that said not to be put out until sometime in October. Most stores get their stock well before the street date.

    I got mine out of the box. They were stocking when I went in. There are 2 to a case. I did the whole lay away thing because this is a Christmas present for myself, plus I bought 4 deluxes yesterday, and I am tapped out of toy money for a while. I can wait.

    I think most people would say the same thing, which worries me (but I do have one on preorder through TRU.com). I just don't see MP Prime sitting around as much as Thundercracker.

    I had a feeling yesterday that today I was gonna find something. I was just looking for the Asia-Bots, since I found Swerve on Wednesday, I knew TRU got a truck on Friday, but I wasnt' expecting this, and I was freaking out.....calmly. I am glad that they kept the long stacks!!! I am just glad I found the dumb thing and got it over with, now I don't have to keep going in there all the time and seeing an empty shelf. Although the Voyager Asia-Bots should be next.......hmmm.

    I'm hanging onto hope that being Prime and all, they made a butt-ton of him. Fingers crossed.
