Oh no, they've already released that and have moved onto a $100.00 Saba... No, I'm talking Samurai and Super Megaforce in new packaging. Makes my head hurt.

You better hurry, there's a limit of 5 on these, which means they'll be bought up in bunches and quick, so go go go!

How is it "in stock on TRU.com" if your screenshot shows it isnt? It says it's available for in store pickup, but if your local store is out they're still out of stock.
My pre-order is processing as well, but this news post will be getting people's hopes up for no reason, since it is not (and never was) in stock.
EDIT: It's been fixed. Oh and It Is Him, when *I* make a mistake, don't blame the newsteam. Blame the person responsible, don't lump everyone together. I don't like it when blanket statements are made, especially when they're critical and incorrect.

The Blade Blaster ("Dino Dagger" made me think of DinoZaurs. Ah, memories).chuckdawg1999 wrote:Autobot032 wrote:chuckdawg1999 wrote:Wait, they're re-releasing the old Dragon shiv?

Actually I meant the Dino dagger. The thing that went from "sword" to blaster. I know they did the dragon dagger. Thanks for the info!

Emerje wrote:If a TRU exclusive isn't online then it may as well not exist for me. There are only two stores in my state, each about 70 miles from me in different directions and a around 140 miles apart so the good exclusives tend to get cleaned out quickly (and both are out of stock on Starscream). I get what people are saying about the downsides of other stores getting them, but why not make these a shared exclusive like many other Transformers exclusives? Why can I get the "Year of the..." figures from TRU, Amazon, BBTS, and HTS with ease, but Hasbro Masterpiece is something I'll never see outside of scalpers? Seems backwards to me considering how well one sells and how poorly the other one does.

Won't be until at earliest Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Japan is celebrating "Silver Week" so all of the online stores are currently closed and wont be open again until the 24th.

You got time to lean, you got time to clean.

Kinda. Silver week celebrates Respect for the Aged day on Monday and the Autumnal Equinox on Wednesday. By law the day in between is a freebie national holiday so many businesses, particularly online ones, are closed for the three days.

Ah, so pressing ship on my HLJ Private Warehouse on the US East Coast's Friday afternoon was a poor decision I figured there was something like that going on, they're usually very fast at getting stuff sent out.Emerje wrote:william-james88 wrote:And as for Silver week, thats good to know.

They were off today, it's just that it's already 1:40 AM on Thursday the 24th over there. Possibly they had these set to automatically go up at midnight their time, or they work super early.william-james88 wrote:ScottyP wrote:October TF Adventure releases up for PO on HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?qid= ... eDate+desc

Woah, I thought Randy said they were off today. This tells me I must check amiami every day this week. Definitely getting that Battle Grimlock and Rumble/Frenzy.
