    I did get my MP10 at TRU Thornton, the wife was there by chance, had her ask...one guy no, then another lady corrected him in front of my wife saying they were in the back...but they truly never hit the shelves. I gotta wonder if they really have no clue, or don't care....or both...oh well..happy hunting !

    Hey guys, if anyone happens to find an extra MP Soundwave, you'd be my best friend forever :) 

    Of course, I'll be looking out for everyone as well, but I seem to be having poor luck lately finding anything. Still hunting though!

    Same here, I found my MP10 at Thornton TRU too (I think back in Nov, I know it was before Xmas because the wife wrapped it up and I opened it Xmas morning) and it was quite the surprise. I almost didn't pick it up but that trailer I couldn't resist! Let's hope MP Soundwave isn't like MP10.

    The Internet is great for news on upcoming toys, but unfortunately it's allowed the world to find out how hot items really can be and just how much money someone is willing to shell out.

    I still get a kick out of searching stores though and finding that item on the shelf, those it's a lot tougher now a days.

    From the looks of things, its starting to "look" like MP-10 already :(  I just hope I'm proven wrong.

    Unfortunately, that phenomena also forces others to either pay those same prices or not get one. Which sucks. I really do hate opportunistic scalpers. And there are a lot of them on ebay right now.

    FC TRU got a whopping 2 MP Soundwave's in today, I picked up the last one on the shelf. Wish both were there as the buy one get one 50% off is still valid and I would have shared...

    Haha, my boss would have been perfectly cool with me taking off for that. Even my wife was like "So does Jason know you're leaving?!"

    Alas, I just spoke with TRU and it's gone.

    I'm still hunting for a MP 10 and watch ebay everyday, but still not willing to pay twice the retail price for him. I had hoped that the boards might be my salvation but pricing is almost as bad on here.

    I will also be trying to help fellow board mates out. If I find more than one I will definitely give a shout out and help. Gotta try and discourage the damn scalpers some how lol.

    I was able to secure a Soundwave at the Fort Collins Toys R Us yesterday! Didn't see another one, but the employees said they had "some" when I called before I drove down. So maybe there are more. Give 'em a call.

    Good luck everyone!

    Seriously, either of you guys in FoCo, if you see one I will drive down(from Laramie) the moment it's spotted. I'd give ya a finder's fee if you picked one up and wanted to meet somewhere.

    If you find two, lemme know :D  I'll pay right away to ship!

    I'm not going to bother with the TRU here in the Springs. There's going to be people camping out for the ONE case they're getting in, and its JUST NOT WORTH IT. (20 people aside from myself and a good buddy of mine already asking for it...and only one case coming in. IE...two soundwaves.) They put a notice up on the door as to when it's coming in.

    I'm hoping you guys up north (that seem to be getting more than we are down here) can help us down in the springs out :D

    I'm raging man, I woke up early when I stayed up until 2 last night for MP Soundwave, called right at 10 when TRU opened and they said they got two in but sold them.
