Found 2 MP Optimus at the Rockford TRU. I got one for myself and put the other on Layaway for a friend whom is on hard times. I think it will make a perfect Christmas gift. So they are showing up and being stocked.

From all of us in the Rockford area. :-x :sad:

I thought these were supposed to come 4 to a case.. -sighs-

The hunt continues..

Although that's thoughtful of you to get one for your friend who can't afford it. But still! :-x

Weapon: Double-Barreled Assault Missile Launcher
The Schaumburg TRU had 5 MP Thundercrackers, but no Primes and I didn't see any shelf tags or shelf space for it either.

The Carpentersville TRU had no MP's at all and nothing to indicate they had gotten either one in previously. Customer service at both stores were clueless.

Got my MP-10 the other day. I literally had to call them like 5 minutes after the doors opened. Had them put it on hold for me and swooped in and snagged him at the end of the work day. Also found GDO Generation Brawl, this was all at the Rockford TRU btw. But these MP Primes, I can understand why they're flying off the shelves, all this chrome, the amazing paint apps, rubber tires and all the accessories?! Yeah Hasbro did us some justice with this guy.

Don't know if you knew about this but TRU is offering a price match guarantee.
Won't help with the MP's but wanted to let you know.

I'm still alive.

Haven't been home to look around much and the days I have been I been busy.

Highland Target and Schererville Walmart are useless as usual :-)

I went into the TRU in Joliet this morning and actually found a Generations Cybertronian Optimus Prime. Haven't seen one of those sold in forever.
