I'm still crossing my fingers that these two guys will be held back for a sale like MP-10 and MP TC were. At least that way there is a confirmed available date.

Went to TRU in HK, a whole bloody stack of Soundwaves, at about $200 each. They had Acid Storm as well but I only saw one, which was at counter.
TRU US has them in stock. Here is the link. Don't know if it will work as its a mobile link.
No idea if they will ship it here. I'm waiting for local release.
Which store was this?Quote:

So pissed with the scalpers on ebay, I do not mind occasional extra one or two but when they buy 5 -9 it pisses me off and I find myself avoiding ebay for all new toys.
How odd. I would've expected the opposite. Unless they received 10 boxes of Soundwave and 2 boxes of Acidstorm.Quote:

Oh gawd, I hope Acid Storm's not shortpacked... cos he's the only one I want!

Every time I see a new post in this thread I get excited and think there has been a first sighting:o:D
premature exiteulation :rolleyes:Quote:

I just go halfway hehehe, I get mine via a friend in Phils ( or when I go for holidays there - binge buying heheh) as they get lots of stock from HK / Singapore sources unlike Aus.
Im on holidays in chicago at the moment. I rang the big TRU and they dont have any :(
They said nobody within 2 hrs has any argh!! The hunt continues
I'm out of the country for a while, but if someone is able to snag/reserve Soundwave and i can pay for it + postage + an extra lil bit for your time I'd appreciate it! :)
Join the queue. ;)Quote:

Its mean "SOLD OUT" and no longer restock!
yeah i rang around all TRU stores in Chicago and LA and was told nobody had any left and they didnt know when they are getting any more.
They apparently have some in NY at the Times square store though?
Back to Australia........ Does anyone know how many units of Hasbro MP Soundwave will be available in November at TRU (breakdonw of state by state or store)?
If its very limited stock, there are going to be dissapointed TF fans, along with posts on the Venting thread!!! Many of us didn't fork out $200 USD + shipping for the privilege of owning one and took the punt on getting it local for $150 AUD. Sometimes you roll the dice and hope TRU Austalia do the right thing by TF fans by having enough MP SW for everyone who wants one.
600 Apparently
Yep, message from TRU AU Customer Service:Quote:

Unfortunately at this time we do not have information about how these units will be distributed per state and store.
Given the popularity of Soundwave, there's going to be a frenzy when MP SW hits the shelves. :eek::eek::eek:
There's no precise date yet, is there?
Not a precise date.Quote:

This waiting game is pure agony.
First up, the supposed release of MP SW in June didn't happen. What was TRU's excuse for the delay?
Then, we all got burned from the hype of ordering from TRU USA, only to find out that international buyers were not welcome. (Some lucky few had the option of 'shipping to home' to a USA address).
One thing is for sure, as we move ever so closer to November, TRU stores will be fielding lots & lots of phone calls asking whether MP SW & Acid Storm have been sighted on shelves or in the back store room.
i was wondering if they going to let you order online here? i love to see their server handle that ... :D
I just want one ;_;
Probably not. We couldn't order MP-10 or TC onlineQuote:
