Preordered online. Unlikely we're going to get them here

Actually, I think we will get them here, seeing as it's the 30th Anniversary Theme and all, but you never know. ;)
That is extremely cheap though! Good deal for both. :D:cool:

I read Spaceballs waaaaaaay back in 1987. Read it before I ever saw the movie, which would've been a year or two later when I rented it on VHS. I guess it just stuck in my mind and I've been using it for so long that I completely forgot about where I got it from! :o

But yeah, the book is highly santised and I didn't even know it had any swear words in it until after I watched the film. But it was still massively funny and made me laugh my butt off. ;)
"Who made that man a gunner?!"
"I did sir, he's my cousin!"
"Who is he?"
"He's an Idiot, sir."
"I know that, what's his name?"
"That is his name, sir. Idiot, Major Idiot."
"And his cousin?"
"He's an Idiot, too, sir. Gunner's-mate, 1st Class, Philip Idiot."
"How many Idiots we got on this ship, anyhow?"
"YO!"
"I knew it. I'm surrounded by Idiots. Keep firing, Idiots!"
:D

I think they are underestimating how quickly Soundwave will dissapear from the shelves. I know at least 3 mates of mine that don't collect Transformers except for about 1 a decade, yet are foaming at the mouth to get this figure! Next to Prime, I think Soundwave is the most recognized and popular character to the general populace from our era. Everyone always goes "Who was the tape deck dude with the cassette guys? He was cool!"

Really appreciate the heads up sinnertwin.

I'm in the same boat as you BTT, might try and plan some hols around that time and make a special trip, I don't want to miss out again.

Have any TRUs accepted any requests to put one aside yet for Soundwave? :confused:
I might try sometime next week at my TRU. :cool:

I don't know if they have conventional layby's, but they did have something where if you spend over a certain amount you take it home & they deduct payments from you. Cant remember the full T&C's

The layby is done by an external company, and from what I've seen the stores HATE it....

Wifey and i wanted to layby the babies cot and carseat when we were expecting, so they could store and I pick up when needed.... They gave a 20% discount if I skipped the layby and took it there and then

I'm going to try that out when i go to purchase these two ;)
Just got of the blower, unfortunately no updates as to delivery dates or store quantities.

Between you two, yea we shouldn't miss them. I don't go toy shopping much anymore.

I reckon it'll be a good idea to bulk buy most/all and hold for other members on the board. I intend to do so at Northlands TRU.

Just wish TRU Australia would allow preorders like TRU Japan on Acid Storm. It was one of the most humiliating, annoying and time wasting efforts I have ever gone through to find Prime and Thundercracker.

I suggested they do a preorder similar to how they did it for the Skylanders Giants game, and just got a generic vague response back. I really hope the scalper in my area who bought up 6 at at time gets his hand (head) jammed in his car door.

I'll try and do the same at Highpoint (if I find any).

I'm around Parramatta (and should still be by the time these come out if it's not delayed any further), I managed to grab both a TC and OP last time, so I will see what's available there again this time when they're available.

Pre-orders would be awesome though.

And this is why people can never find them.:mad:

I think this would be a good way for people on the forum to get them. We beat the scalpers at their own game. Any that don't find a home can be returned to the shop.

I would have been happy if a local member had bought up all the MP Primes at TRU and then offered them here...maybe then I'd have one.

Like I said, bulk buy and hold for people like you, no profit gained, just save us the trouble of finding it in store.

I never even saw MP TC in TRU, would of been good if someone bought me one and held it for me.

I will too. There's not even any point trying to reserve one. I tried to do that with prime and thundercracker and when they arrived in store neither we're put aside for me and I only got prime because I happened to come across it in store

The problem is living in a world of credit, where the peice still being in store helps me more than picking up from a board member

I definitely want a Soundwave, if you could. I am not able to travel to shops very often and I would greatly appreciate it. :D:cool:
