Scramble all jets.
RED ALERT.
TRU Woodridge has MP Prime is in stock.
Ask for it to an employee.

Also, use the 20% coupon from the website.

Is this the one on 1500 75th st? I literally just got home from there with my MP10 :) When I called they said they had two, so assuming there is still one there. Oh and the 20% off coupon? It felt almost criminal to only pay ~80 for him :shock:

Yes, it is the same one.
One of the employees told me the number of Primes they get is related to the number of cyberverse toys. Don't know if that is true.
It was a crime to pay $80 for him.:CON:

Stopped by the Schaumburg TRU and actually ran into the Asst. manager there. First TRU employee that actually knew what MP Prime was. He said they had MP Prime a month ago and sold out and he's not sure if more are coming. He also checked his computer and found that no store in Illinois was showing him in stock except for Aurora. He called Aurora and they sold out today.

I may have to go to E-Bay to find this guy. :(

Nothing new at Walmart in Melrose Park, North off 294. Same for KMart on Rt 83 near St Charles Rd., except that their TF Prime Deluxes are [expletive deleted] $18.99. Gah!

TRU Downers on Butterfield had 3 MP OPs as of about 5:30 tonight. $119.99. Also a bunch of MP Thundercrackers. And, the GDO Legends TC and Motorbreathster. I bought a TC and the last Bluestreak and Hoist.

Caution- the face on Hoist fell off spontaneously, lucky to have found it. Be advised. That is all.

The new waves of FE Prime are hitting around the Des plaines/Niles/Wheeling area for sure. Case of FE Prime hit TRU near Golf mill, and another 2 hit today. Also, the new waves of reg Prime with Kup, Hot Spot and Rumble are starting to show up in Target. Walmart and Meijer have nothing interesting.

Nuts, I forgot to mention- that TRU in DG last night had a single FE Arcee and Starscream. I got those for Christmas last year from my kids, so I left them. HTH.
