I also learned from talking with them that TRU distributes as they see fit depending on the class of store and that since 2 of my TRUs are C class and the other one (The good one with decent employees) is a D class they will only be getting 1 case the other to might get 2. I don't care if it a Z class store there should be one on the shelf at every TRU on the release date. I'm literally sick to my stomach from the stress this is causing.
For the record I'm one of 4 guys that was at one of these TRUs at 10am when they opened. Why, I ask the Gods, Why are you not ready to take my money. If it's no good, I'll happily take one for free
Anyway, good luck to you all. I'm going to go puke now.

At this point I think smoking crack may be may be less harmful to my constitution. Imagine how safe the streets would be if the only place to get guns and drugs were TRU.

Except don't forget that Takara's only comes with one cassette, and the other four have to be bought in additional pairs. Whereas the Hasbro release comes with everything in one package. So if you want everything, the price difference will be a lot more then just $40!

Flood the market with a seeker that most didn't bother with because of Scream and Warp (even though it is a different mold) but the ones people really want like Prime and Soundwave are precious few. Hasbros had marketing issues. Let's hope that the Hasbro "lay offs" bring in some people who know their markets.

She told me that the figure is so popular that all locations do not have them.
They project the more figures could come in late August.
If you want to read this exchange just look at the lasted post in the Illinois sightings.

But, you can still get one of the 6 Series1 Deluxe PRID Bumblebees that's been collecting dust on the shelves since the Prime toys started rolling out before last Xmas.
It's fine, we know you'll pay the jacked up Price in August just like you did when we pulled this trick with MP Optimus Prime. Now go play with one of your countless number of other Bumblebees and leave us be."
