MP Soundwave now out in TRU stores here

[drifand]

TRU would have been aware of the interest when they first put up the item on their website back in June. They could have amended their order if it was possible to reflect the interest.
The product would've been ordered and payed for based on their allocated budget.
Have you raised the issues you've been having with previous MP's in Perth with TRU's head office?
And why are you that concerned?

Oh, I sold my Takara one already. Not overly concerned. Not sure if I raised anything they will care. lol But if it helps, I wouldn't mind. At least Perth members could appreciate "some" stock than none.

Not overly worried, I definitely will get one somehow, just wished WA isn't in this position where we are last.

Just got off the phone with Aspley QLD store and he said that they were all snapped up by 9:10am yesterday morning after being put on the shelves that morning. They are sold out.
He said they did have to ship some out but couldn't tell me where they were sent. He said if I ring customer service they will be able to give me more info.
They have requested double the amount of restocking numbers for Soundwave but not sure if they will or when get them.
No sign or idea of Acid Storm

Sounds like stores are begging head office for more, but all 600 would have been sent out in pre-allocations already.
Since it took 6-8 months just to get in this batch, I doubt we'll see another shipment, unless Hasbro manufactures more. (which they would be wise to do, as it sold out everywhere in the world, and they shouldn't be producing Movie toys yet to tie up the factories)

ok guys, I've ended up with an extra MP SW that I'm happy to pass on to another board member... pick up from Bella Vista area, or Epping Area, Sydney. PM me if interested.

Hi mate, just joined and I'm very interested...

I've been calling up TRU Perth stores this week. Cannington had someone there who took my name down and said they'd call when they got their stock.

Both Cannington and Morley have said they've had it listed as in transit (managed to get people who knew/could be bothered how to check first time I called them). Joondalup told me they hadn't even received an in transit notice yet. Innaloo wasn't helpful.

Called back Morley today and the guy there said it sold out, he saw it last week. So obviously didn't really know his stuff.

Odd that they would get 3; they're packed two per case. It looks like TRU could be splitting the stock to ensure a more even spread across their stores, or as close to.

That doesn't bode well. Reboxing is rarely as good a packing solution as the original cartons. I dare say more than a few boxes will be dinged or have crushed corners.

[The Ghost]

I know some people find it important, but I don't mind a dinged up box. Happy to give my box to anyone if I ever get one and it's in good knick. :P

Well my ordeal is over. Courier dropped off at 8am this morning, opened up the package at about 9am, Soundwave has scratches on cassette window and chipped paint on the feet, blue rumble has missing red paint on the eyes, red frenzy has excess paint all over the legs, didn't bother looking at the other cassettes, boxed it back up and got a refund at my local store.

Also the box was dinged up. The lady at the store said yeah the box is slightly damaged. I said don't worry about the box the figures have bad paint apps, chips, and scratches.

Oh well got a Takara and a Hasbro from the states that are perfect. I wasn't meant for a third.

The QC on this set is the worst I've ever seen. It's pretty bad.
