    If it's in stock then they need to ship to the people that placed orders already.

    What are these jackasses doing now? It's now up to $70 and listed as "in stock - ships within 1-2 days." Those shit heads don't know what to do with themselves.

    I ordered mine earlier in the week when it was only $60 and got the same back order email this morning that you other guys got. Can't wait to see what these dipshits will do next.

    And why is this site so slow now? It's like dial-up speeds. Is TRU running TFW now?

    Now the site is saying "backordered" again. Still $70 though. This is funny stuff.

    No one knows. Don't listen to anyone on this site.

    Obviously TRU themselves have no clue, how would a random internet blogger? If you want it and $70 isn't out of your range; just order one. Sure, they could be all over TRU shelves for $60-$65 in a few weeks, but they also might not be. I don't have one and would rather not spend the $150+shipping for Takara's version, so even if I didn't order one the other day when it was $60 I'd buy it for $70 before these TRU ninnys pull another random move out of their asses.

    By the way, I found a picture of TRU Corporate..

    Plus... if he's as irritating to find as Animated ARceewas.. I'm sure I will more than spent the $10 worth of gas difference between his first listed price and the current one..

    That right there is the main reason that I jumped on this when I first saw it listed.

    Friggin' Arcee, I probably spent $10 in gas searching for it, before finally giving up and going to ebay, and a month later they're cluttering the shelves around me.

    The retailer sets the price of the toys, not Hasbro, as Hasbro stated in in earlier Q and A session.
    I received a backorder email form Toysrus.com, so they may have sold out of their first batch and have to produce more.

    During RID I used to pre-order stuff online at TRU. Yeah I learned my lesson with them 10 years ago. They suck! I am sure this will be in stores eventually. Even Arcee is now clogging shelves everywhere.

    Arcee really is not a good comparison for this figure. Stocking a MP Grimlock would be costly and he will require a lot more shelf space. Also Arcee can be an impulse buy for a typical kid however no a so much a $60 figure. I hope to be able to find in a TRU locally for me because the sites price increase has left a bad taste in my mouth.
