Does anyone have a specific release date for Toys R Us Exclusive MP-10 Optimus Prime. All i know is it’s in August but that’s it. Also when is Toys R Us Exclusive MP Thundercracker coming out i have no clue at all on his release date. Same with MP Sideswipe & Redalert. Any info will help thankyou

the preorder ETA for Big Bad Toy Store on MP Sideswipe, Redalert and Soundwave are December 2012

I would like to know the release dates for the US masterpieces as well. I have not seen any new info.

There really isn't any specific release date for most Hasbro Transformers product. The only real exception is the first wave of toys from a new movie which would have a street date. Nobody can give you a date in which you can walk into TRU and find a Masterpiece figure sitting on the shelf. That depends on a lot of things including distrubution in your area.

We do not know much about Masterpiece Thundercracker. Hasbro hasn't even officially announced it yet.

I'd love to see an App that would show the projected release and stores for upcoming transformers. There are just so many exclusives: Toys'R Us, Target, BBTS, BotCon, Comicon. As a casual collector i find it almost impossible to find the transformers I'm looking for and many times I find out about them by the time they are Sold Out.

thundercracker has been announced for October i’m not sure if it’s any store exclusive and for the other masterpieces except for optimus i just realized they are takara figures so i’m not sure about a hasbro release

August is probably the closest you'll get for MP-10 release, but I wouldn't be surprised it started showing up by the end of this month. It's a shame that there's never a specific release date, but if you keep up with other US sightings/releases, you'll be very familiar with certain regions getting figures before others (sometimes by weeks at a time).

Also, Lambor/Sideswipe should be available in October according to a few other sites, with Soundwave and Alert in December.
