I think that is where I'll head tomorrowQuote:

Does TRU deliver on sundays/weekends?
toys r us website doesn't want to seem to load
Not in Victoria they don't, so I doubt they get any delivery trucks over the weekend.Quote:

Well banks town didn't have their order of sw yet, which surprised the bloke at parramatta, which have only got two left on hold for another customer
They'll get em any day now, so just keep checking in. Just try not to harass them :p
For any Townsvillians, I have just wasted 90 minutes with our TRU this morning. Bunch of headless chooks at that place, anyway, Tuesday is looking like the best next day; accoring to them their system says they are in now but they got Optimus Prime's instead WTF!!!???
Also called the Hurstville store when they opened this morning, they were very helpful, their system was showing as in stock but their delivery hadn't come in yet, they're expecting it within two weeks but likely late in the week
Yeah the staff in Belco in Canberra weren't great, the 4th one I spoke too said 'oh yeah other people have asked about that, should be in before Christmas' !! Put myname down, but just to be called when it comes in , but "not everyone checks this list". Apparently they're getting 10, not sure when, the next truck isn't until this coming Friday, won't be on shelves till the monday after.
silly question but if i can grab a couple should i do it and pass them onto other on the board? or just grab one for myself and leave the others on the shelf or other ppl/scalpers?
im sure someone will appreciate not having to chase them down and if you dont pass them on, you can just return them and get a refund?Quote:

Ultra Marginal also has a thread

Filled in the trusurvey online expecting the usual $5 voucher. Nada....
Stress mark at tape deck, let it go or get it replaced? just concerned that it might break sooner.

i was looking at my takara soundwave and it has the same thing. mine looks like it came from being poorly cut off a runner.Quote:

I like UltraMarginal's idea (see thread link provided by Sinnertwin) -- post sighting on this thread, but consider buying for others on the board if they live in a remote are (i.e. more than 2h drive from their nearest TRU). It does suck that scalpers may benefit from sightings too, but so would genuine fans who may not be members of this community. :)Quote:

Obviously the former would be more financially beneficial for you. :oQuote:

For the record, should I be fortunate to see a Soundwave at Northland or Doncaster, I'll pick up an extra (maybe more) and hold it for a board member.
Not from WA so far, at least as far as yesterday from our sightings. We are bunch of real helpful chaps.Quote:

Plastic flashing. Brings up naughty images.:pQuote:

I'd suggest picking up a second soundwave for someone else only if theyve asked you directly, otherwise you'll potentially get stuck having to take it back to the store.
I'm picking up two, one for me and one for a friend who is overseas at the moment.
As for the stress mark on the clear plastic at the door hinge, is it a washer or is that litle circle of clear plastic attached to something else? if it's just a washer, the stress mark may have happened during installation and it probably wont see any more loads to make it stress more than it already has.
Yep my TT one has got it too. I'm not really that bothered.Quote:
