I went to my local TRU the day after he came out, and got the last one. It's definitely not a shelfwarmer around here.

Sunstorm is gone at all my local TRUs but flooded with Prowl. I managed to snag Bluestreak, Smokescreen, and the missile upgrades off Ebay for 10 less total than what I paid for Prowl.

Are you trying to say that the total for all of those together was less than TRU Prowl? You know you bought knockoffs in that case, right?

Not trying to start another conversation on the merits of KOs, just want you to know about them in case you didn't :)

Yes, Prowl is warming the shelf at my local TRU.

And I assume Optimus Eeyore meant that he got Bluestreak and Smokescreen for $60 EACH, not together. (Or he bought KOs.)

Haven't been into a TRU in a few weeks, but the TRU Express near me had several last I was there. It was surprising, considering I've never seen a single MP in the Express stores before. Usually i have to go to the main / larger store front to have any chance of seeing them.
