Makes you wonder whether the bean counters will learn from this and start pricing things competitively...

My guess is nope, based on their previous pattern of overpricing MPs and then reducing them on clearance.

Didn't want to take the risk. Parra is known for reserving everything

Wow, these things sold like hot cakes. Not surprised though. I managed to snag one about 4 mins after your post so I must of had one of the last ones in my cart before it went out of stock. One less for the scalpers to get the grubby hands on :cool:

You're currently third in line then lol I'll get back to you.

I think everyone and their dog has bought Trypticon today, I swear Toys R Us probably moved more in this one day then in the whole what, six months, they had him at scalper pricing?

There might still be some in-store, as the online orders are taken from their warehouse(s) and not floor stock.

Still got one in my cart :D The website is asking me to remove the item from my cart due to stock levels when trying to checkout and pay :p

I tried 4 times online.... Not in your area... Not in your area.... Stock level 0... Blab blah blah.... Out of stock... But one in cart... And I was in TRU at the time... Anyone got a spare? Willing to pay a little extra but not scalper prices

So I ordered online and shipping was $10. Probably would've spent that much on petrol getting there anyway (she needs premium duude! Premium!!)

Some prick on gumtree tried to low ball me $30 because of petrol for 15km.
That's was a bit excessive considering the price of petrol today.

Refreshed the cart today and it's empty. I logged in and it's still there. Wonder what will happen if I paid for it???:confused:

Well at least one person on Transformers collector club Australia Facebook page has had their online order cancelled and refunded due to toys r us over selling, so good luck to all those that made online orders :(

Seriously??! :mad: I ordered around 7 o'clock last night so my order will be cancelled for sure. I don't have an email yet though...

If your order was cancelled, might be worth posting what time you made your order, interesting to see when these cancelled orders were made
4th March 2016, 12:48 PM
Ralph Wiggum

Yeah I'm not really surprised this has happened. My order was done at around 3pm WST so we'll see.

Not the end of the world if I lose my order, I'll just use the money for some MPs :D

The guy on Facebook said he placed his order 3pm Sydney time if that helps anyone, but who knows how they're prioritizing it.

I was wondering what to do with it when the Titans version comes out

I placed my order at 4:13pm and just received dispatch notification.

Apparently a few of the online orders for Trypticon are being cancelled :eek:

I haven't received a cancellation email but nor have I received a shipping email (many others have received either one or the other) so fingers crossed they don't f' me over like their USA division a few years ago :rolleyes:
4th March 2016, 01:55 PM

And this is why I drove to pick up mine instead of online order.

Well, I have been charged so I hope they don't cancel, cause I haven't received either email as well.

The pic floating around FB of the guys who was cancelled showed that he was charged already too and that it would take 3-5 days, if i recall correctly, for the refund to occur.

Fingers crossed there are only very limited cancellations.

If it does happen, I won't be too concerned as I already have one MSIB and I was buying a 2nd one to open and play with :p:D
