What amuses me is now the "list price" is now $99.99 and they've "discounted" it to $69.99, even though probably the entire collector community knew this would be a $69.99 figure. :-?

It sucks, I saw this post early in the morning while at work, but I figured buying something online at work was a little unprofessional (never mind being on the internet at work), so I figured "I'll order one when I get home". No dice. Does anyone know if Hasbro Thundercracker is being retailed at Canadian Toys R Us? I didn't see him on the Canadian site, but I do have a Toys R Us somewhat close, thinking of making the trip.

I found out that the friend I asked to get Thundercracker asked her son to check out the Toys R Us near his college and he got it at the online price. Wooo, I'm happy. She is also able to get it into the country for free since her other son has work connections here and it can be posted locally. No import taxes on it. Talk about a result.

Well, I ordered one early yesterday morning, just a couple hours or so after the news of the 55.99 online price was posted. My order status at TRU.com still says "item located in stock", which, aording to the site, means that the item has been located in their warehouse.

My card has been charged, my expected delivery date is 9/7-9/12. We'll see if the order status updates, or maybe he'll just show up tomorrow.

I wouldn't bother yet, he hasn't been sighted in Canada at all yet. We should be getting him, we just usually get stuff later than the US.

I thought that's silly, too. For the most part, the only people who are going to get this figure are collectors. I've always understood that's essentially who Masterpieces are made for. What parent is going to buy a $60-70 toy that is going to get thrashed in ten minutes and is complicated to transform, to boot? That being said, collectors ARE the ones most likely to know everything about this figure and the ones likely to buy it, so we're going to know that it's always intended to be priced at $69.99. Besides, isn't the list price what "suggested retail price" should be? That seems funny since TRU is the only one offering this figure.
