I called up TRU this afternoon and got pretty much the same story as Cranky. The girl said that they were clearing lines from their shelves and didn't have much at the moment, but they are getting new lines in, one of which was MP Thundercracker. She also said that MP Optimus wa in the system at $149. I'm thinking some time in the next two weeks we'll start seeing them appear on the shelves (crossing fingers, toes etc!)
