Or they wanted people to stop calling their stores to check on availability.
Asked at the Chatswood TRU and was told to speak to "the expert", he came over and said that the system was saying November but even he seemed surprised by that. Best he could do was tell me that the date might change and to check in every couple of weeks.
Went to pick up a bike for my daughter so I asked the chick at the counter.
Me: I'm looking for a toy that's due out soon.
Chick: What's the toy?
Me: Actually I've got a code.
Chick: Yeah cool what's the code?
I give Soundwave code...
Chick: Oh yeah Soundwave. It's in the system but we've got no idea when it will arrive.
Me: Sounds like you've received a thousand calls on this already.
Chick: yeah(laughs).
There was also a guy looking at some toys near by and when he heard Soundwave that got his attention and came over for a listen.
This is crazy, every man and his dog wants one. My mate who doesn't collect figures wants me to pick one up for him as well.
May the fastest men/women win!
It's time like this I wish we were a bigger market..
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.
Thanks for the update.
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.
