TRU MP Acid Storm and Soundwave Images!

[ILikeSoundwave]

Asked Hasbro AUS when Masterpiece Acid Storm and Soundwave are supposed to be released in Australia and they told me June/July.

I asked Hasbro if they are including some sort of reflective red sticker (optional) and they said so far there are no plans to do so.
I have also replied and asked about Rumble and Frenzy's weapons and the energon cubes, data screens etc on a side note. They replied quite quickly actually...

Got a reply from TRU about quantities.
They have said they've ordered a hopefully sufficient amount and they should be here mid to late June.
(So I'm guessing around August)
The reply went as follows:
Dear Ryan,

Thank you for your e-mail.
We have placed an order for a sufficient amount, so hopefully you don't miss out this time.
We don't have an exact release date, but stock in due to arrive in early to mid June 2013.
You can always call us around that time so that we can give you an idea of which stores will be receiving stock.
If you have any further enquiries please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team.

Kind Regards,

Customer Service

Thanks for that Bidoof.

So they know which stores are getting stock? Is it allocated to each store or do the stores themselves request it? Because when I asked at Wollongong about Thundercracker the store manager said that they probably wouldn't get any even though he wanted some because so many had asked about it.

[Bidoofdude]

Maybe. It looks like they might flog heaps at the more well-known ones, I presume, but I'm not exactly sure.
Hopefully it'll be a bit more level this time.

Yeah I got the exact same feeling of frustration by a staff member when I enquired about Prime & Thundercracker some time ago; as he explained it, TRU Wollongong being an 'Express' store, they basically wouldn't know what they were getting until it arrived in their dock & having to shelve the stock.
