Good luck, but I kinda doubt any brick and mortar stores have them today.

Just because they started taking preorders online today doesn't mean they're going to arrive at stores first thing this morning.

I agree and anyone that does find one at a store today has got some crazy luck on their side. I guess it's time to keep a look out on TRU.com to see if more become available and when they do pop up in stores use killer tactics to get one! :BANG_HEAD:

So how many times have you hit that "refresh" button so far?

At 748am I got my email confirmations, I show the charges on my account pending through my card company, and they still list on my account on TRU. So here's hoping all goes smooth. This will be my first MP figure for my collection (I know I am late to the party!)... Soundwave was always my favorite as a kid. So hoping this isnt a horrible experience and things dont get canceled because of fubars on there part.

Good luck, getting a hold of these things has turned into a **** rodeo the last couple of years. You'll love Soundwave and crew when you finally get them.

It's times like today where I'm really glad I just went the Takara route.

Just got my second order confirmation so that means it went through and I will have my first MP Transformer next week. Yeah!

I was in the second group of folks ordering this today, so I imagine they are close to done processing those who were in the 6 to 7am block of ordering and physically allocating the stock. Perhaps they will open them again after that completes with what ever they have left. If they do good luck to the rest of you.

Damn this makes me mad. Their website said they'd be available starting at 9am Eastern. (It's now 9:36am Eastern). So I get up early, get on the site, and STILL nothing. I call TRU. WHen I finally get through ten minutes later, they tell me, from a script, that there's a "known issue with the site" and that they're "working on it" but can't offer an estimate of when it will be fixed. Well thanks for nothing, TRU!

I woke up to go to the bathroom and just logged into see if he was even listed on the site at all, to my surprise I could place my order which went through. I am on vacation and got up from my sleep in day just for this!

I do know your pain though, I stayed up to order this Monster High Doll for my daughter a few weeks back that was from Mattel, and then they sold it out at some random time unlike they one they were advertising. I was pissed beyond comprehension. Hope you can find one in store or possible 3 batch posting later today.

My order status just switched from processing to items located in stock! Now if Acid Storm would just pop up.

News Credits: 388 · Thu Jul 18, 2013 8:46 am

Thanks for rubbing it in.

That's fine as a backup, but the TRU one is cheaper and comes with more figures, so... I'll keep trying. If all else fails, MAYBE I'll settle for the inferior and more expensive Takara version.

Look like Acid Storm is now available online!

Soundwave is back up on TRU.com as well as Acid Storm!

No, it's not. It's listed, but you can't put it in your cart. I've been trying every 30 seconds for the last half-hour.

Ah ok, I didn't try to put Soundwave in my cart since I already got my orders in earlier this morning but I was able to put orders thru for Acid Storms so I just assumed Soundwave was available as well, my bad...

I was able to put Acid Storm in my cart and purchase it. I tried with Soundwave but had your same issue

Good Lord! How do you get a hold of these things?! It let me put it in my cart a couple times then... nothing. Same thing happened to me with MP OP before Christmas. I REALLY want to get on the MP bandwagon!
