Good news for those patiently awaiting the release of Hasbro's Toys"R"Us Exclusive Masterpiece Thundercracker. Seibertron member That Bot spotted the figure's shelf tag at a Toys"R"Us location in Buford, GA. The figure is scheduled to release in October, but this is a good indication the figure's release is imminent.

Knew they would raise the price, so what is it this time the stand justifies the extra $10? Im happy with skywarp so this is an easy pass for me.

lol there raising prices everywhere but i would pay 70$ for thundercracker especially since starscream was 80 when i got him from walmart.

To bad thundercracker isnt a walmart exclusive cause i dont like toyrus's policy on employees buying products.

I think he may possibly get released late september. And optimus prime is gonna be released for november or december for christmas

This is good news but umm... Where the hell is PRIME?!

Nice. Except the price rise. They always do that. It's the "Toys R Us premium." The whole masterpiece Grimlock fiasco was the worst example. Kind of amazes me that they can stay in business considering most of what they sell is available elsewhere for cheaper. Only times I shop are for the occasional exclusive like this or when they have a big clearance sale like 3 for 1, or 50% or 75% off. I picked up some things on sales like that for really cheap there a few years ago, but haven't seen any really good ones since probably 2010.

I am skeptical that the new mold is improved enough to justify $40 more than Skywarp ($30 clearance sale at Walmart), but we'll see.

Good work That Bot!!!

Gettin this no matter what - & hopefully don't have to pay > $69. Hopefully there is some kind of coupon out at the time i find him. Now where's that Prime?!?!?!?!

I'm curious about that sticker on the tag. A few other products on the shelf had them as well, which were in stock.

Did we ever get a reason why we are getting Thundercracker before Starscream?

Maybe Starscream will be Takara exclusive while Thundercracker will be Hasbro exclusive? Well that's just my assumption xP.

Will pass on this since I already have Starscream but gotta say he looks great.

I hope this is available in the online store as well.
My TRU is a pain to get to and I can't justify making the trek if there's no guarantee of stock.
