    Folks, we're not going to use TFW to coordinate harassment or promote tripping of people, even if you disagree with what they're doing. I know this is partly/mostly in jest which is why I'm not going to do anything beyond just asking you to drop it at this point.

    Thanks!

    I have read this forum for awhile now, but this is my first post. I just wanted to thank the people who have helped me secure my Masterpiece Soundwave. I got it this morning at the La Cienega Toys R US in Los Angeles. When I asked how many they had, they only told me a bunch. Don't bother going to the aisle. They keep them in the video game department behind the counter. I think Hasbro learned from their MP-10 Prime mistake and everybody who wants a SW will eventually get one. Hurrah!

    I feel bad for anyone making a living this way. What an awful life they must have, profitting off the suffering of others and doing so for a few measly bucks.

    I wish the store employees would refuse to sell to jerks like that. It's their right, as long as they have the support of management.

    Thanks for the reports guys. :D :D  Waiting paid off. Got Soundwave; but why the huge box??? Lots of space. I thought it would come with a stand. The good news is now I won't have to pay scalpers price. Muahahaha. Take that scalpers.

    Question people. Is Metroplex going to be available at Walmart and Target?? If not I think I will get one from BBTS.

    The cashier at Los Feliz was really nice and price-matched my Soundwave without me even asking.

    Nice they finally got them out. I went there at opening, but they couldn't give it to me since they didn't unload the truck yet. I got mine at the Jefferson location.

    I just have to say that the lady at the La Cienega videogame section was extremely nice. She really wanted to help us out, but couldn't. We need more employees like her.

    Do you know how much will it cost at Target/Walmart??

    BBTS 110 + 15 shipping = 125.

    TRUS 130 + tax = hell no.

    Emeryville had 8 this morning, I missed the last one by minutes.

    Dublin had Acid Storms on Tuesday, but no Soundwave. According to the employee they ship separately so fortunately no shortpacking nonsense.


    If anyone has an extra I'll be in the San Jose area tomorrow, I'll meet you within reasonable distance. I don't care about box damage, he's not staying in it. :)

    They are about to hit. I bought one at Target a few days ago.

    True. Any bad experience with shipping??? Packaging/boxes have to be in great condition for me.
