TRU MP Soundwave & A/Storm prices and codes

[Hursticon]

It's time like this I wish we were a bigger market..

We would be... If Hasbro AU's distribution, sales & promotional practices for its brands weren't so horribly lackluster/baffling.

Just got off the phone with TRU Cannington, a very helpful attendant looked Soundwave and Acid Storm up on the system for me and she advised that the Eastern States warehouse has not yet received their order, once they receive their order they will update the system and then dispatch the items to the individual stores. She advised that it will likely be atleast another month.

Indeed, thank you very much for the additional heads up man - the tension continues!

These things are going to fly off the shelves so fast. I'm keeping my eyes glued to this thread for anyone's news of it showing up in store.

As will I dude, so too will a s***-tonne of other people I imagine.

Add to that retailers gorging on the first wave of a new line. To them it's all numbers, as long as the shelves and pegs are full, i doubt they care what wave of TF they stock until they go on clearance. Then they ask why certain lines don't sell. Lather, rinse and repeat.

Hi guys - first post here, but I'm chasing MP Soundwave like it sounds like the rest of the country is

I called my local TRU today (Aspley in Brisbane) who said they were expecting stock mid-June. They said to keep calling back to check if they had stock, but I wanted to see if he was going to be able to be ordered online. Because I really didn't want to be a nuisance, calling all the time to check :P

The Toys R Us rep emailed me back and said that MP Soundwave has been pushed back to November 2013.

I've emailed back to see if this affects Acid Storm as well, but haven't got a response yet. Here's a screenshot of the email.

Oh man that's a freaking delay I wanted these toys for my birthday which is in June...

Sucks that we have to wait longer to get these guys, but it gives more time to save up. Looks like it'll be a while before my next official Transformers purchase. Just gonna sit tight 'til July, when the next bunch of Generations figures are expected to land.

Yep, you're not wrong at all there either dude; but IMO Hasbro should be informing their customers of their poor purchasing practices if Hasbro actually cares about the product line succeeding.

Also having a birthday in June, I was hoping to do the same too dude, at least we might still have a chance with Acid Storm - Pending he's not pushed back either.
