TRU on vets has 3 FOC Shockwaves.

I also saw the three Shockwaves at TrU yesterday. I guess that means they got the case revision with 3 Shockwaves instead of 2. Speaking of Shockwave, I also nabbed the Botshots 3 pack with Shockwave, Ironhide, and the blue Brawl (AKA Overlord!) from the TrU on Vets. Didn't see anymore of the set, though. I'm still waiting for MP Prime and the Kreo Blind packs...

I haven't posted in awhile, but I should be going to the Westbank sometime in September. I bought a few toys at a garage sale that I don't want, and was wondering if anyone wanted to buy/trade for them. The list is in my Signature.

Wal-Mart on Manhattan had the Kreon blind packs. It looked fresh, so I picked up a set and there were like 3 more sets in there but I didn't do a full review.

Otherwise, I just got the iGear Ironhide/Ratchet combo in the mail. I'm waiting on case assortments for TF Prime and FoC to come in, so I'm not actively hunting anything. Even though the revision I have for TFP says I'll have 2x Ironhide, I think they mean Kup. If anyone is interested in purchasing this extra figure from me, send a PM and we'll work out the details.

So has anyone found Thundercracker (Masterpiece) in the New Orleans area? I've heard of people finding him in Lafayette and Baton Rouge, but not New Orleans. I actually went to the TrU on Vets Sunday(they had a generator providing the store with electricity due to Isaac related outages) and after giving them the SKU number, the system said there were 3 on the floor. Sure enough, they weren't. The manager said that the figures were probably in the back on the dock and they'd be out Monday. I went yesterday afternoon and there was no sign of the figure. I gave the woman up front the SKU and it said there were now 2 on the floor. When I told her there weren't any and that the manager told me they were on the dock, she said the system was probably messed up from the hurricane and that I shouldn't trust what he said. She did, however, tell me that there was a chance it'd be out that evening. I showed back up later in the evening and of course, there was no sign of the figure yet again. When I gave the new lady up front the SKU, the system said there weren't anymore available. She said there may be some arriving on the truck on Tuesday, though. So again, I stop at TrU after work today and there are no Thundercrackers ANYWHERE. I mean, I don't even see a spot for him on the Transformers aisle.

Seriously, what the hell is going on with this figure out here? If anyone's wondering why I'm going to TrU so much, it's because I literally live walking distance from the place, and if I take my car, I can get there in a minute or two. It's not really putting me out of my way to stop by everyday, but it's seriously weird that I just cannot find the guy. I need him to finally complete my MP Seeker trio!

Oh...and I did happen to see a few of the blind packs at the TrU this Sunday that just passed. When I walked past the Kre-O aisle today, though, I didn't see anymore. Maybe someone hid them?

Did some searching last night, picked up Thundercracker at the Marrero TRU. It was close to 9pm, so maybe these got put out late. Vets didn't have it out by 7pm when I passed by. If they are hitting stores and selling out, check Friday or next Wednesday afternoon, hopefully they replenish soon.

What was really strange, the both TRUs had a case of the last Generations wave out, with Skyshadow and Junkheap available. Also spotted FoC Shockwave, but still waiting for my case to arrive with the Combaticons.

What was the price on Thundercracker?

$69.99 plus tax

Must have Thundercracker! Btw, I spoke to an employee at TRU on vets. When I asked her to look up TC by the item number she told me there were none. But I saw her screen and asked her why it said that 2 were available on the floor. She said their inventory is messed up and if it says that less than 5 are available on the floor she just tells the customer that none are left :/. And she was training a new employee and telling her the same thing. So don't trust calling in and asking by item number.

The exact same thing happened to me and I got the exact same excuse regarding the computer saying there were some on the floor. Sounded like BS to me at the time, and I left ticked off. Luckily, I got one from TRU's website when they were listed at 55 bucks. I paid for the expedited shipping which brought the total to 80 dollars, but it arrived Friday. I just don't trust the TRU on Vets with this release. When I checked the shelves, there wasn't even a price tag for MP TC. Seems really strange to me...

On a different note, has anyone spotted Dreadwing yet? I checked the Walmart and Target in Kenner with no luck. Oddly enough, I have been seeing the new Cyberverse figures and Wave 2 Voyagers (which were REALLY hard to come by for a while).
