How many? Called Chatswood/Parra and Castlehill and they don't have it yet.Quote:

7 left at Campbelltown.
Just to let those know Penrith, Liverpool, Parramatta and Bankstown currently have no Thundercracker's left (I took the last at Penrith, Liverpool & Bankstown sounded clueless so they may not have put out stock yet)
TrU Chatswood has two, possibly three left.
10 there this evening after i picked one upQuote:

Yeah Bankstown had no idea. Went there yesterday and all they could tell me was in transit. Went again today and got given the same story. Then I drove to Parra and bought the only one on the shelf. Not sure if they had any out back.
I was in parra earlier this evening and I asked them to check the back room... they wasted 10-15 min of my time to tell me they didn't have any and that the toys (Thundercracker and Optimus Prime) haven't come out yet. Man... they really have no clue. :/ And I don't even want these toys! :rolleyes:
You just enjoy making the mice run the maze right?:rolleyes:Quote:

So I get there had a look around the TF section, no sign of TC. As I was on my way out a TRU gal asked if I was looking for anything in particular, I said Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker, not expecting her to know it. So she tells me they have a dozen out the back, and she'd go get me one... I asked for two. :)
How much are these guys selling for again? :)
$79.99
Should've asked for more or gave the name of the gal who helped you out. :cool:Quote:

According to the woman there the Masterpieces always sell out incredibly fast, despite their high price point
Scored thundercracker at $59.98 (the price of rodimus) from campbelltown. Would have gotten it for $49.98 but the sneaky cow that checked the price removed the incorrect price ticket below them. Customer isn't always right... At least at toys r us.
Is the lone MP-10 still there?Quote:

That's not really necessary. You managed to get a $20 saving by being quiet about the error, so calling them a name for missing out on scamming an extra $10 off is wrong and greedy.Quote:

She swore black and blue that there wasn't one there to start with, and made me look like a lying fool.
Apart from that, it's all good in the hood...
Hey Guys picked up my cracker today. Actualy picked up 2 as I want to trade one for a mint in box star scream.
It's great to see this figure appearing over the country. Does anyone have any idea when this beauty is expected to appear on shelves in Wait Awhile?
I'd try ringing tomorrow, AJ.
The catalogue sale starts then, and seems a few people, including myself, have been told he's being timed for that.
Edit: The boxes actually have 'Do Not Display Until 31/10' on them.
Thanks Cat, figured that may happen. Wasn't sure as it wasn't in catalogue, but then it probably won't be sold with a promotional price like MP-10.
Will check tomorrow, I hope everyone who's after T-cracker manages to acquire one.
I read that MP TC wont be coming into Australia anymore? So the only place to get it is through ToyRUs US now?
Seriously hoping our local will realise the popularity of this character and bring more in.
It has been sighted here so there's a good chance you will be able to track one down. One of the interstate members may even be able to assist if their local has any left.Quote:

I'm starting to love that mould, even if the cockpit is slightly too big for the grey chest bits. I'm considering this and Screamer.
toysrus.com have thundercracker for 63.99 now witht he 20% off, depending on postage some people might be interested
I just went to the TRU website. MP Thundercracker is still showing up as 79.99. Do you have to enter some sort of promo code to get it at 63.99?
