MP Thrust revealed

[GoktimusPrime]

I'm happy with PC's decision of one run and all shipped at the same time. I was all set to order from TT Mall but PC won me back with this decision. They lost me before with the multiple runs but now they've gained a customer. Well done PC .

^Same here. PC nearly lost me for different reasons, but now they've won me back.

Each to their own I guess? I had no issues with late items at good prices.

But either some people are so overly sensitive when someone got an item from PC and people start crying where's mine.

So did anyone went for TT mall option?

I'm in the "don't care if it takes longer if its significantly cheaper" basket so PC have me for a while at least.

The zipPay option was definitely a contributing factor in Thrust selling out so quickly, so even if PC were to offer a second run, you'd still have to camp out before the 8.30pm opening and play the refresh game.

If you are unable (or unwilling) to do so, then unfortunately you're going to miss out. Looking at the US situation, Thrust sold out quickly at The Chosen Prime and Toy Dojo, with BBTS the only major US retailer to still have him (no listing at TFSource).

Yeah I am still with them but I think is back to the refresh and click.
I am wondering if it's ONLY because is a limited item but hasbro Asia is not, that they only do one run.

I am unsure if they are going to do one run for inferno or cheetor and if so I think I have to go back to Japan sources.

I also think Thrust looks way more appealing than ramjet and hence a faster response

Looking back at Unite Warriors Computron and MP Primal, both were only a single run (price was the same until sold out), and as they weren't "exclusives", there was no cap on the limit you could purchase -- with the exception of the special we got on Primal which was for only one (although you could still buy more than one Primal at the regular price).

So from that, if Inferno and Cheetor are mainline releases, there should be no cap on purchase amount and plenty of time before being sold out -- I think Computron lasted a week, and Primal at least a month before being sold out.

Of course, the zipPay option has blown things open, so who knows how long items will last now.

lots of unknown, I was adjusting after MP-25l not that I was desperate for it but I realised they were going with one run mainly.

Shockwave was luckliy to have second reissue run at all.

God knows what, but I am sure they will review how this style is running for them.

This affects Transformers toys only though, Their Marvel stuff had a second run on the Captain America shield and ironman helmet. So they did not apply it throughout their inventory.

According to this post by PC, first round exclusives account for 70% of all orders and mainline releases will not be affected.

Regardless, I still find it safer to play the refresh game, particularly with zipPay now increasing buying opportunities.

I had a meeting that was scheduled for the same time as PC was taking orders of the MP Thrust. Ended up ordering earlier in the day from RK, as I did with the previous TT Mall exclusive seekers.
