TRU MP Soundwave & A/Storm prices and codes

[Bidoofdude]

Actually, I think we will get them here, seeing as it's the 30th Anniversary Theme and all, but you never know.
That is extremely cheap though! Good deal for both.

A stab in the dark, but did you get "fershlugginer" from the novelisation of Spaceballs?

Ya know... I've never really thought about it, but I think you're right!
I read Spaceballs waaaaaaay back in 1987. Read it before I ever saw the movie, which would've been a year or two later when I rented it on VHS. I guess it just stuck in my mind and I've been using it for so long that I completely forgot about where I got it from!

But yeah, the book is highly santised and I didn't even know it had any swear words in it until after I watched the film. But it was still massively funny and made me laugh my butt off.
"Who made that man a gunner?!"
"I did sir, he's my cousin!"
"Who is he?"
"He's an Idiot, sir."
"I know that, what's his name?"
"That is his name, sir. Idiot, Major Idiot."
"And his cousin?"
"He's an Idiot, too, sir. Gunner's-mate, 1st Class, Philip Idiot."
"How many Idiots we got on this ship, anyhow?"
"YO!"
"I knew it. I'm surrounded by Idiots. Keep firing, Idiots!"

I live 5 hours away from the nearest TRU. Any idea if the Aussie TRU will let you either reserve Soundwave or order him online? Otherwise will have to rely on big city mates to find it for me, like the last Masterpiece Prime.

I think they are underestimating how quickly Soundwave will dissapear from the shelves. I know at least 3 mates of mine that don't collect Transformers except for about 1 a decade, yet are foaming at the mouth to get this figure! Next to Prime, I think Soundwave is the most recognized and popular character to the general populace from our era. Everyone always goes "Who was the tape deck dude with the cassette guys? He was cool!"

Really appreciate the heads up sinnertwin.

I'm in the same boat as you BTT, might try and plan some hols around that time and make a special trip, I don't want to miss out again.

Have any TRUs accepted any requests to put one aside yet for Soundwave?
I might try sometime next week at my TRU.

I don't know if they have conventional layby's, but they did have something where if you spend over a certain amount you take it home & they deduct payments from you. Cant remember the full T&C's

Cheers for the update, DH

[bassbot]

Yeah guys thanks for the info. $200 minimum, early Christmas shopping!

The layby is done by an external company, and from what I've seen the stores HATE it....

Wifey and i wanted to layby the babies cot and carseat when we were expecting, so they could store and I pick up when needed.... They gave a 20% discount if I skipped the layby and took it there and then
