Another MP I never got to see on the shelves.

Wow...Just called Toys R us Cannington and they already sold out of Masterpiece Acid Storms?

It's either they took him out late last night and it sold out or the online system is just mental.

Had a chat with the morely guy. He checked his computer and cannington has only sold 2 acidstorms. I think they'll have more!

Also he was shocked that cannington had soundwaves lol. He said that innaloo, morely, and joondalup have 12 soundwaves each in "transit", but he doesn't know if they are still in transit or already sold lol.

Morely expects around 8 acidstorms at their store, just not sure when.

Gonna call later. Probs at 10 or 11

So Perth looks to have had 56 Soundwaves, compared to 20 in Brisbane.
Some of the Melbourne and Sydney stores musta gotten a heap, as these numbers are not getting anywhere near 600.
The average works out to 17 per store... but very few seem to be getting anywhere near that, let alone above it.

TRU Joondalup here in Perth has just got their stock in last night I was told just now over the phone and THEY HAVE 10!

Well a third or a quarter of that 600 was reserved for online purchases, so if there is 35 stores that would bring the average down to about 11-13 per store. Obviously some stores had a bit more while others had less.

Spoke to a guy at TRU Chadstone. He said they got 12 in and were all reserved for online sales and never made it to the shelves. His manager was quite pissed about this, presumably because of the 1 million inquiries they get everyday asking about Soundwave, and then they finally got them in but can't sell them.

I really hope TRU can learn from this round of craziness -- put the Ghost Starscream experience behind their heads and increase the order quantity next time around.

I can just imagine the look on the Head of Departments face when they find out they could have sold a thousand more. But surely TRU Australia would have heard what happened in TRU US and seen the high demand for this figure. I am thinking that after this we will be seeing more and more Masterpiece figures making it to shelves or at least Australian retail.
