    BIZARRE!

    Ok so I called my Toys R Us in Exton PA - gave them the sku # to look up and see when they expected any. The guy on the phone was the manager - he said they HAD two of them LAST WEEK and they sold immediately. I never saw them on a shelf.

    So it might not just be Missouri - apparently, according to this manager at TRU - he had two here in PA last week. Whoever got them must not be on TFW or didn't care to report it if they are. Call your local Toys R Us - you might get a surprise like I did.

    Most TRU's probably won't sell the figures for awhile since Hasbro probably told them to wait until October to put them on shelves. They don't have to do what Hasbro asks, but a majority of stores do.

    My TRU just got the GDOs in, so hopefully they'll get this in as well.

    Oh I agree, this place has been DEAD for toys - but I dunno.... he mentioned he finally got to see the Thundercracker too last week after a bunch of phone calls for that (I never saw that on the shelf here either). Like - I got the impression that he knew what I was talking about. He knew it was $100. And he's got no reason to lie to me. I dunno. I'll keep checking.

    What is the TRU item number? Should be 6 digits

    Edit: haha. Just called my TRU and asked I could check to see if they had a certain toy...
    Them: (sounding MAD annoyed) Sure. Is this the masterpiece Optimus prime, sir? We've had several calls on that today, sir. If it is, No we haven't had any, sir.
    Me: busts out laughing, realizing how late to the party I am. Ah well, got my first one online anyway.

    I am not planning to pick it up. But if I see it in person I would most likely pick it up. I must stay away from TRU.

    I just called a TRU here in SoCal and they told me they just sold the 2 they had. 2x per case, they only had 1 case today, maybe get more next week.

    Don't expect it this quick after MO sighting in the SouthEast. Give it another week or 2.

    As of today the GA warehouse has 0 in hand and over 1400 on order.
