I went to the one here, in Baton Rouge. Its only 5 miles from where I work, but the traffic lights were down and it took me 30mins to get there. Lucky for me the trip was not a waste, they had 3 in stock and I picked up one.

I can't find Thundercracker for the life of me. I've called all TRU's in my area, I've driven to a couple, and no one's ever even heard of it. I tried an SKN I found (787681) on the website and in-store, and it brings up nothing.
Can anyone help out with the actual SKN so my local toys r us can order it for me through another store?
Thanks!

That is the correct number - it's not showing up on the website because it doesn't have the figure available, and most store employees check the website. Ask them to check inventory, which is different.
Odd these hit RI and seem to have entirely missed PA. Argh.

Got mine earlier in the evening here in NY. White Plains Toys R Us had 3 of them. Best of luck to those that haven't gotten it yet. I'd suggest not paying scalper prices yet as TRU seems to do a good job of stocking the exclusive Masterpiece figures. I never had any trouble finding Grimlock or Rodimus.
I have to say, looking at my Walmart exclusive MP Skywarp, the Thundercracker mold and engineering kick the shit out of Skywarp. It's not even close. I used to really like my Skywarp and now... not so much. The pieces move easier, it doesn't seem nearly as fragile and the overall look is just cleaner and has less kibble. If MP Sunstorm was done with this mold I might have to reevaluate my decision to pass on it.
