    I think the price point precludes a child exclusively playing with it, frankly, but that's just me.

    The design is clearly a call-out to the 80s Gen-1 design aesthetics and as such is aiming right for the breadbasket of those of us brought up on that show. When I saw the 20th anniv Prime my eyes popped out of my head as it was the toy I'd have loved to have as a kid. I knew I had to have it no matter the price.

    They're getting stuff today? My son and I might make a venture out there later. Maybe. The heat index is 102...

    And yes, it'd be nice to know someone here.. I've been here long enough lol

    Whoever did that probably got fired.

    Nope, I'm wondering what going on. I'm hoping to get it through them now. I have a 10% off they were going to apply to the purchase because of the fiasco.

    Just to add, the TRU mobile site was never even updated... This is fucking bs. I understand it's to create hype.. But hasbro always does this. Takara at least makes enough.

    I'd potentially think you might have a point if MP Thundercracker didn't exist.

    Has anybody tried ordering multiple times (guess this is more for those that bought Acid Storm since it's still available)? I know it's a limit of one, but is it one per order, or one per household? Say, could you place an order & checkout, then go back in and order another?

    First Transformer I try to get in years. Of course the same bullshit happens that made me give up on collecting them in the first place.

    Well acid storm bought. Just paired it with the walking dead governors daughter figure. I think that may be a sdcc exclusive for now.. Came out to about $97 with free shipping.

    Or it could be this generations sense of entitlement and how every company should just kiss their ass and give them what they want when they want it with minimal effort on the part of the customer.
