Got a shipping notice at the discounted price. I feel relieved; honoring the discount is a nice bonus.

For the dude in VA, next week at the earliest. Their distribution center is the same as PA's and it hasn't seen any MP figs yet.

I was finally able to find some!! I'd called a TRU about 20 minutes from my house and was told that another one on the other side of the valley was showing 4 as "pending", meaning they were expected to arrive the following day. Who showed up to be first in line in the store? This geek :D. I was able to find all 4 from the case on the shelves. I bought 3- one for me, and two for friends in other states (at cost) who've had zero luck finding him. I could have bought the 4th, but I figured I may as well let someone else's search bear fruit, plus I HATE when scalpers buy all the stock and fans who only want the one figure get screwed into paying more than they should on eBay.

If something is too good to be true, it normally is. This happens with online companies and I have first hand experience with dealing with mistakes like this. When they were made aware of the error they pulled the listing so they could correct it. They then had two options. Cancel the orders or honor them. They chose to honor them. Luckily for me, some stores even honored the lower online price. They have now corrected the error and have relisted the product. Toys R Us are going to lose money over this error and people are bitching. Lets have a bit of perspective please. It's a toy and it was an error on the website.

Btw, I seriously doubt anyone will be fired over this error. The most that would happen is they would have a dressing down by their department head and told to be more careful in the future.


Agreed. I just know that I've had bad dealings with TRU in the past and I honestly assumed that they just raised the price because they realized what the demand was after it was posted. When I originally started trash talking, I didn't know it was a mistake.

I wonder what caused the 'error'? It is a 20% savings. Were TFs on sale 20% off? Hmmm...

When I found my MP TC last week I wanted to use some kind of TRU coupon, but there were none to be had. For some reason, I have not been getting TRU rewards member coupons. Probably due to spam filter or i changed my mail preferences (which i now regret). To correct this, I've added tru's email to my address book.

A friend of mine hooked me up yesterday since i was not getting the coupons and forwarded me a BOGO 75% off Star wars toys. I bought the new speederbike & scout set -2 for <$30 including tax. Normal price $48 w/tax. Can't complain there. My friend will get the other 1 w/discounted price of course.

You know.....has anyone else noticed that his box-art is the same as his Deluxe Generations card-art, only reversed? Kind of funny.

Struck out at the first TRU today, at the second I found one hidden behind some other items on the bottom shelf. Unfortunetly, I had my wife with me at the second store and she gave me a look like I was out of my mind. She pointed out that I already had the Takara version, and I didn't need to waste the money on a second. I ended up putting him back.
