    I was at Paramus yesterday, nothing there, and the guy I asked checked inventory which didn't even show the item in the inventory. Maybe I'll check again later today... except WHICH ONE? There are TWO in Paramus.

    Damn. Don't know.
    He was just on their system searching for the nearest stores. Didn't specify which one in Paramus.
    -But considering i was there yesterday & MP Thundercracker wasn't even in their system & the Kreon microchangers were not there then it may be worth a trip to both stores. Or call them first, he said it's policy that they can hold one for you for a few hours.

    Went to both Rt 4 and Rt 17 TRU. ZERO. It doesn't matter what the computer says, they had none. Rt 4 showed two, yet they didn't even have the price tag on the shelf. They looked and nothing in the store. Either someone hid them or somehow the sale wasn't recorded properly.

    Route 17 showed a stock of four, I showed the guy working the toy aisle the six-digit number and he shot me down just by looking at the number. Having suspected that he might have stored them away for himself, I asked the front desk, and they confirmed they had four in stock, but yet none could be found.

    Very interesting indeed.

    Rt 4 also told me that it's one case of four per store and that's it. So I guess we are SOL.

    Rockaway TRU is wiped out of the Kreons. Looks like two Sunstorms (I'm assuming) left out of the whole box.

    Well, I don't see anyone posting that they cleaned out the Paramus TRUs... so I am wondering what really happened to them.

    I find it strange that they show in stock, yet the price sticker is nowhere to be found on the shelves and they couldn't find one in either store.

    Yeah, this is a fiasco. I bet it's store employees either being disorganized idiots or scamming scalpers. And i figured it would be one case per store. Hopefully we'll get restocks if Hasbro is smart.

    TRU Wayne has a fresh case of Microchangers. If anyone needs them, I'll be happy to go back and pick some up for you at cost + shipping . Just PM me. If anyone comes across a MP TC and wants to help out their fellow collectors (i.e. me) I can send $ via Paypal.

    I've only seen reports at TRU so far. But they are supposed to be a wide retail release. Don't recall seeing them as exclusives.

    No T-Crackers in Deptford TRU yet. But they get a Truck in today so tomorrow may be worth checking.
