Heh, that was me! I actually reserved two over the phone, but only allowed one :(. Kid at the counter said something about only allowing one per person cos it was so popular.

So yeah, my lucky day cos I was opening one anyway :D

Didn't recognize you :) as it's been a while. I did thought you look familiar. Glad it went to another member. We were going to have my mate's replaced but all were reserved.

A few people here reserved 2 and some bought 2. :)

Picked up a carton of two from Parramatta this morning. The carton had 2 staples half punched into it which scratched one of the boxes. The other one was for my mate who's stopped collecting since Beast Wars, but has probably been lusting after a Soundwave since he was 7. Delivered it to him straight away. The look on his face was priceless :)

Could be a TRU staff member scalping. A few pages back a board member reported that eBay auction very close to the first sighting, and there's also another mention of TRU staff members holding it for themselves. I guess their cost would also be slightly less due to a TRU staff discount?

Wise words :)

It'd be nice if all the stores had a purchasing limit... but I guess that wouldn't stop someone from just going back in over and over.
Scalpers will be determined enough to find a way... especially if any have been seeing how much we've been wetting our pants in anticipation for this figure (40 thousand views just on this topic alone).

I thi a password facility for these types of theads could be a handy idea... Only members and genuine collectors allowed. That would at least slow the scalpers down so the real collectors could get ahead of the game...

Does anybody know if there are any more soundwaves at parra?

The day I don't check the boards it gets released :(
