I'm happy some of you got it, but I paid $76 last week when I found mine. I would like a price adjust. What do u think the chances of that are? Will they honor online pricing u think?

Price adjust would be nice,I'd like that too. But how? The item is no longer online, so there's no proof of lower price.
I'm just happy that I have one, $76 is still better than buying from eBay. Only some ppl are lucky to get it at discounted price, but I bet they were worried a lot before today.

GRRRR...so pissed off! I just called TRU help line and the associate could give me no verification that the figure had been on the website. I told her to talk to a manager and see if a confirmation of the online price could be sent to me so I could take it to local TRU and get the credit on the (2) Thundercracker figures I purchased...she didn't help me . I had to drive a 100 miles to get these bad boys as my local TRU did not have them in stock. I called the store at 1pm central time and they actually held 2 for me until I could get there at 8:30 PM. I shouldn't bitch, but for what I paid in gas plus the cost of the figures I might has well have paid a friggin' scalper on Ebay!!! If anybody is able to get confirmation of the $55.99 price please let me know!! I want my damn $30 bucks off so I can put it towards Prime in December!

Early bird, worm, etc... but seriously, I hope you guys get another shot soon. Although I'm really surprised that they sold out so quickly.

I was able to order one online this AM but soon after was emailed that he's backordered. I'm expecting the order to get cancelled outright.

At least I found one at my local TRU soon after, although he's much more expensive.

I have a bad feeling he's gonna be real limited. First off, TRU knows they can charge $70 for it. Second, it's too early for the Christmas deluge of mass-quantity toys. Finally, he's not a 'major' character like Prime or Grimlock.

Let's hope this isn't a problem with MP Prime.

Ordered mine beofre noon today. Have not been messaged that mine is backordered/canceled......am I on Candid Camera?

Seriously, I swear the Northeastern US is one of if not THE last locality to get the most recent waves. Prime RID Powerizer Starscream and Bulkhead have only just appeared on my local TRU shelves and nowhere else!!!

*sigh* Still I can't complain beyond that. I only just started my MP collection with #10 (Takara version) and the new Seeker mold is well done. Should look nice next to its deluxe counterpart.

And now, when I click on any of those links, it comes up "Item Not Found", like it never even existed. DAMMIT. I always get screwed on these things. You'd think, knowing how popular these items (Masterpieces) are that TRU would either buy more stock to sell, knowing that they'd sell out, or that Hasbro wouldn't limit them to just one store.

When MP Rodimus came out, I had NO luck finding him in stores, but after the initial craze was over, found one on eBay for not much more than I'd have paid in store anyway. I'm hoping that'll be the case next time.

Missed it. No biggie. Hopefully BBTS will get some.

Yep, I expect you're right, though there will probably be more Prime's. Still, it makes me glad I got the Takara version of Prime. Here's hoping Takara decides to do a few more repaints of MP-11 so that I don't have to deal with domestic retail exclusives and the scalpers that feed on them . In fact, come to think of it, I can't recall any Takara figure that I've ever NOT been able to obtain after release. Plenty of Hasbro releases, but never imports/Takara. I wonder why that is...
