    Called my TRU and when I started saying I was looking for something in the Transformers section I was cut off by the associate who said "Masterpiece right?", lol. So yeah, none in my area yet which tempts me to buy my two Acidstorms through the online store. Are there any coupon codes out in the wild that don't require you to play some game to get them?

    Same with me and my Takara one. I might even have it buried with me.

    Yeah, I have 2 Takara Soundwaves, I wasn't sure about a Hasbro one. At first, I was going to find 2 Hasbro ones and keep one and give the other to one of my cousins (Whoever like Transformers) but now I realize they are only babies and it could take years for them to apprieate it.

    Speaking of which, Everyone here who really wants Soundwave must be near adults. But think of the children, what if children want this toy but they can't get it?

    So I see the site is sold out. Oh well, I've still got reissue SoundBlaster. And I'll feel less bad about buying expensive Metroplex and Predaking, since I didn't get this guy. I'll probably get that My Little Pony on there for my 4 year old daughter though.

    I fully intended to play with mine and setup a mini battle, being that this is my 1st MP Purschase ever, this has been quite entertaining and educational. If it weren't for luck in waking up and needing something to drink at 7am and also walking my dog I wouldn't have one. So thank you little puppy for the wake up call this morning.

    I'm kinda new at this so any info would be helpful. When you call tru do you give them the upc, the sku, or just all for it by name?

    Well, this goose appears to be cooked. Congratulations to whomever got the Soundwave that I had already bought and paid for over a week ago on ebay. TRU fucking sucks and I wish them nothing but the worst.

    If anyone wants to scalp me for $175, just shoot me a PM. Considering they will settle around $200 on ebay and the take 10% in fees and another 4% for PayPal, I'll be paying the amount you would get on there.

    It's harsh, but I truly don't give a fuck. I went without a LOT of things I wanted as a child, AND as an adult.

    It doesn't matter, my friend. You can call it the Rainbow Pretty Happy Time Master of Love and they're going to feed you a line of garbage anyway.

    After missing it after about 5 minutes or so this morning, I went to TRU just in case. While I was there my 7 year old daughter found all the new Monster High sets and the cruise ship Lego set she was looking for , my 3 year old found some stuffed animal she loved. Total tab was $200 for them. I looked at my kids, said f*** it I have Takara SW and only wanted Acid storm to give his head to igear sunstorm. Easy decision.

    Now, for those of us who got one... Here is what is going to happen next... Based on the MP-10 debacle, all the units that were ordered this morning will be shipped to the stores instead of the people who ordered them. After that wave clears stores, yet another wave will be shipped, again bypassing our orders. Then TRU will realize, OH CRAP! All those initial orders!?!? And will start shipping from the stores direct to our houses, except half that allotment will have already hit shelves, and they won't be able to cover all of the initial orders.

    The End.

    Alright, you've convinced me! I refuse to order MP Soundwave from TRU until they treat me right and allow me to order MP Soundwave!

    That would have something to do with far fewer ppl wanting the grimlock/bruticus set. And by something, I mean everything.

    AKA probably no more US masterpiece figures in B&M stores. Fans already burned the masterpiece bridge with Walmart, forcing them to sell their MP Skywarp at a loss. Target has never had a exclusive MP figure and there is no guarantee that they will do better then TRU. TRU might not be the best but they have given us Rodimus, Grimlock, Thundercracker & Optimus before this years MP figures.
