    So... I'm going to swing by Tractor Supply later today, get some grass seed. Anyone want to pick up a pitch fork for them? Maybe see about a torch? How about a baby duck if they have them?

    I will add this dead horse though. All this bitching you're doing here, do it politely to Hasbro's CS Team. Tell then you're tired TRU dropping the ball. Suggest that they let a store like BBTS or TFSource handle the MP line from here on out.

    Could you pick me up some grass seed and a baby duck? I was at my local Tractor Supply and they were out of both.

    As far a using an online store to exclusives, it's not a bad idea. I'm afraid that it could cut out people that just can't order stuff online for various reasons. At least with a brick and mortar store more people will have access to products.

    I want a baby duck! O.O

    Anyways, I hope all this about a release date of tomorrow is true because I freaking NEED this figure ASAP.

    The impatience and entitlement of a fandom never ceases to amaze me. The hatred here for fellow fans being positive, TRU employees who are not there to kiss your butt and Hasbro is just pitiful.

    Oh that would be a dream come true. Nothing like paying scalper prices for official retail released goods.

    No thanks, I like my MP-Prime to cost $70 (ya that is what I paid at TRU in Canada with the 30% off sale) vs the $150-$200 BBTS would charge. Oh, and then they can hold on to stock and release batches every 6 months with an ever increasing price.

    If folks think it's bad now, if BBTS got hold of MP's by themselves? Jesus, we'd be better off importing the damn Takara releases! Their prices have gotten WAY too bad on many items over the last few years. To even consider them for a monopoly on Hasbro MP's? No thanks, that would be a financial nightmare for many.

    Pfft, you don't know what your missing. Have you ever seen someone hit in the face with a baby duck. I have and it's deadly, deadly I tell you. They are murderous little creatures and will waddle back to you after they're done.

    See, that's my point. Birds in general are evil and vicious creatures (excluding the noble steed that is the ostrich), but none are more deadly than the baby duck. Fabio was lucky it was only a seagull. If he been hit with a baby duck instead, he and everyone within ten yards would be dead now.

    Here is the aftermath. The baby duck would have taken his head clean off.

    How good is TRU at honoring rain checks? My local DPC has 718 on order and the girl put me in for one. So hopefully between that and my preorder I will get one.

    I wonder if we had a poll and indexed the following two variables what the graph would look like.

    1) Anger over missing MP-10 or having pre-order problems
    2) Size and cost of that individual's transformers collection

    I'm sure most of you have plenty of other figures that are collecting dust while you wait for MP-10 . Give those old figures time to shine. You loved them once. haha.

    Well, it's true. BBTS became too big and too bad.
