Ran SKU number in Merrillville, IN yesterday and in Tinley Park, IL today and nothing shows.

It exists as a number with quantity showing zero in warehouse and no store near me having any.

So now I guess we play the waiting game and see what happens.

It kills me, for once I want to be first on the block to have something lol

Saw this toy at Toys R Us Singapore.

Take note the wing of Skywarp's right leg is missing, and is no where inside the box..... #-o

I can confirm that he's in stock and now available for sale. He's $60.00 even, before tax.

You can call the toy department at the Meadville WM to confirm.

How on Earth was I one of the first to find this thing??

I love the character art on the side of the box. It just may be the only U2.0 character art that doesn't have "disinterested surprise" for an expression.

LOL too bad we can't make facial expressions.

I have a bad feeling about this sucker. I know I am going to miss getting him if he lands in Minnesota. I just know it.

Fri Nov 06, 2009 12:16 pm

Got mine today courtesy of a very helpful employee.

Don't worry - he won't land in MN. Starscream and the last two alternators never seemed to.... :sad:

If anyone hasn't gotten the MP skywarp, I'm selling it on ebay. Heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 500wt_1182

News Credits: 1 · Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:12 pm

how bout selling it for price on here on the boards? I'm sure people will pay shipping & throw in a little more for your troubles. Ebay is not 'for the people.'

sidenote: I can't even drive around right now & search for him freely - my front license plate was stolen last nite. And just my luck all the DMVs in LA are closed every Fri. of Nov. Isn't that just great? Filed a police report this AM and I made a dmv appt. for Monday though. :-(

Good idea. It'll have to be in a day or two. I need to see if Walmart is gonna stock another one, I took the only 2 they had. I would be willing to sell it to someone here for a little bit extra.

I'll probably call the Walmarts in the area tomorrow to see if they will be getting anymore in stock. Because this has been such a great place for me, I'm willing to personalize shipping, as in, anyone who wants it, just give me your zipcode so I won't charge extra for that, but I need to make some profit off them, only 5 bucks though. I'm guessing if anyone would want one, I have to make a thread in Carbombya

while i dont particularly like this version only cause im a fan of the high gloss takara i will be getting this for my 8 year old nephew as a reward for helping me keep my collection and his in order and dust free. just hope i can find it.

Fri Nov 06, 2009 7:23 pm

You're getting an MP figure for an 8 Year old? I'm sorry, but that doesn't make much sense. I teach 3rd grade and I wouldn't trust any of those kids with one of my Movie toys let alone the brittle as hell MP Seeker mold. Hell, I bet there are a ton of adults who would snap off a wing within the first 5 minutes.

I kind of figured as much. Thanks for taking my hopes and dreams away, IP. :wink:

He's started popping up in my neck of the woods (Oklahoma), though I have yet to see him in person. I'm torn, I already have the Takara version, but I like the cartoon accurate deco on this guy.

Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:05 pm

my local walmart has 15 on hand but they are in the back somewhere so i just have to wait till they come out on the palette... Lancaster, CA.

Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:25 pm

No luck in NW IN/south Chicago area.

Gonna go for an in store request again t-nite.

Calling a Walmart is about useless

Sat Nov 07, 2009 2:48 am

The hunt is over! i found 5 cases on a palette tonight in Lancaster, CA.

They were going to go back in the back because they arent due to hit the floor till week 41 the lady said. but she let me buy 2 of them!

Sorry for the dark pick but its proof...

News Credits: 668 · Sat Nov 07, 2009 3:17 pm

Well, there's only 52 weeks in a year, so wouldn't week 41 take place sometime in October? (I realize stores handed the dates differently)

So...wouldn't it mean his debut is late?
