Edit: SEIBERTRON.com member
Editor, who works for Amazon.com, has given us some more inside information about the split.
Here is what he had to say:
As someone who has been doing Customer service for amazon (don't hate me for working there, I hate it and am leaving soon) but TRU totally screwed but the split. Amazon has been left holding the bag on thousands of order placed by customers (and many collectors) in good faith that TRU has no intention of following up on.
