UltraMarginal: Almost 100% imo. Considering they're $150 retail, that's an almost 100% profit straight up for that scalper.
Cheers Gamblor!
I've just reserved 2 at Parramatta for me and a buddy. The TRU guy said there were 'quite a few' left..
Maybe they got more today at Parra after I called this morning. Good news for people :)
wow that was fast!!!

Thanks TheHoodedOne! (Robin of Sherwood..?)
Grabbed a case from Parra.
The (very sweet and helpful) girl said that Acid Storm is incoming, expected before Tuesday, but said the price is $100...
No sign at Chadstone (Vic) tonight.
Awesome, was just about to ask if anyone knew about Acid StormQuote:

I'll be at penrith for the 9am open. If they have them, I'll grab a few spares if there are any available to pass along to those unable to make it.
I just got off of the phone with northland and they have it listed as under transit still :(
Apparently Canberra Airport doesn't have them in yet but is taking down names in a list in order of time asked (my friend went, he's 6 I'm 7, that was about 5.30pm). So none there yet, probably two weeks, but what seems a fair way to ration them.
Interesting that the 'pre-order'/reserve is varying between the stores.
Yeah i find it odd also. I rang Aspley (QLD) this morning once i started seeing the posts that he has arrived and the attendant said that they can't reserve one without them actually being in the physical store (their computer system can't do that) and that with a price point like $150.00 he says they will be readily available....... PFFT! I guess it shows the different customer service between stores. Although he did tell me they way their unpacking etc happens and told me to definitely ring by Tuesday. They don't get deliveries on weekends and they won't unpack anything till tuesday.
I must have pressed something by mistake, I keep on getting an email every time this thread is updated, how do I undo that?
Great, I didn't get to read this until now. By the time I call 9am 2moro morning, i'll be number 50...Quote:

Well after I was done at Campbelltown there were 3 left on shelves and for the life of me I can't do this step, I'm pushing as hard as I can, but I don't want to pressure it because something might snap, it's really tight. So for now I can't transform by new transformer.:(

Please do help each other out, I don't want to see either of these figures flooding eBay - I want to see each and every fan, member & non-member, that's after an MP Soundwave &/or Acidstorm receive one. ;):)
(Remember to post your acquisitions here too!)
C'mon guys; beat those low-life, scumbag, scalping-bastards at their own game and pick one up at your earliest convenience. :D
he's here? damn i should check in more often. now i need to get someone to pick one up for me. the nearest tru is 200kms away -_-
Kaiden, hopefully someone else picks up a spare to help you out.
gdmetro got in first on mine, but I've seen a few people grab more than one for forum members...

I'll try calling tomorrow and see what I get :)
I'll be trying Penrith store tomorrow arvo after work and see what happens.
I'm doing a physical check of doncaster and northland TRU in the morning.
Let me know if northland have any?Quote:

She did not mention any kind of current list of people wanting the figure and she said they were expecting 10 pcs.
Just called them, they said they didn't have any stock.Quote:

The young lady on the checkouts remarked that they had been "very popular" and the box was "very pretty", so I guess that a few have been sold.
I'd give them a ring before heading in so as to not waste your time, as they may have more stock. Good luck!

I just called TRU Highpoint VIC, and I asked for the Transformers Masterpiece Soundwave and she told me they have Optimus Maximus with lights and sound.....:confused:
Called;
Hurstville: They are expecting Soundwave next week sometime, no word on Acidstorm.
Miranda: Had no idea what I was talking about...
