Gunbuster Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Does anyone have the link to the MP Soundwave on the TRU site? I tried the old link and it didn't work and I tried searching and it only finds WFC Soundwaves. Can someone confirm that the MP Soundwave is going to be on sale tonight at TRU site? what time will it go live? PST or EST? Thanks in advance.

David Hingtgen Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Keep trying that link. Unless they re-vamped their site from when they did MP-10---if the product is available, the link works. If you can't order it---it won't show or find anything. They're not big on having the product show up but say unavailable. The link and search simply won't work a lot of the times if you can't order it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone confirm that the MP Soundwave is going to be on sale tonight at TRU site? what time will it go live? PST or EST? Thanks in advance. Link was taken down after they put up a bunch of stock on Ebay and sold it by error. They cancelled those orders and yanked the website. Their currently is no product listing for it on the Tru website. Some people think it will come back up late tonight or early tomorrow morning, but nobody knows. Some people are saying that TRU stores won't get the releases until next week due to SDCC and some confirmation that some distro centers have no stock as of today. But nobody knows. If you want one stay up all night and hawk the tru site and hope for the best. Edited July 17, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunbuster Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks for the quick reply on this guys. So close!! yet so far! I have to get to work early tomorrow, so I can't stay up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Now this Whirl, I like! Feet might be problematic though...On the one hand, that's a really G1 Whirl, right down to the yellow rotor... On the other hand, and I never thought I'd hear myself say this, I'm a little disappointed that he's so G1. I was kind of hoping for a chicken-legged, IDW-esque Whirl. That "unvincible" psychopath is one of the more interesting characters in the IDW comics right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well, it's 12:15am on the east coast, and TRU still isn't showing MP Soundwave. I've got work in the morning, so it's off to bed. I'll check again in the morning before I leave if I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm thinking it may be closer to midnight west coast time. so 2 and a half more hours. I'm thinking it'll be easier to just get up around 9am tomorrow and call my local TRU and see if they have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Anybody know what's special about the toys being sold at Comic-con (Acid Rain and Soundwave)? Is it just the fact you bought it at Comic-con or is there actually going to be something that makes them different? I'd rather not have to tote them around Comic-con if I can just order them at TRU.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) People are saying a tru rep reported 8am It's up on sibertron.com or whatever It's Acid storm. Not acid rain. haha. I don't think their is any difference, but I'd pick one up if you have the chance. Edited July 18, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm thinking if I can actually snag a Soundwave, there's a good chance I'll just be taking the 4 tapes I don't have and selling Soundwave+Laserbeak on the cheap. Not sure yet, I'll wait 'till I have it in hand and get an in person look at it (if I ever get to the "in hand" stage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negotiator Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Me too. Almost glad it's 1 per customer. F.U. scalpers! Down side tho, no legitimate backups for anyone, unless they want to go through the trouble of different name and address etc. At least we all get one.

BTW: Man that looks so good. I don't really have the room for it though and between the Soundwave and the VF-25F suddenly showing up on HLJ, I don't think I've got the budged for another $100+ toy.

Gakken85 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Acid storm has been up for about an hour: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=19038406&prodFindSrc=search I doubt Takara will release it, as they have so many that Hasbro doesn't have at this point.

Gakken85 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well.. I saw that canned response about 9 A.M. but I didn't take it very serious. The support reps don't even write the canned responses, let alone decide when stock goes up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Funny thing was, I was planing to go to bed when it came up and only opened the TRU site to get the page set up so I wouldn't have to find it again in the morning when I woke up. I was expecting to get a generic item not found page but instead saw an available listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoryHolmes Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Even if I wanted to buy it from TRU.com (which I did) they don't ship to Soviet Canuckistan. Bastards! And TRU.ca doesn't even have a listing for it. I guess this means Ebay scalpers (yuck!) or trolling my local TRUs hoping for one in-person.

Negotiator Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 They have restocked on rodimus and optimus (only ones I cared to stalk) a few weeks after being sold out the first time, so my hunch says soundwave will restock after the initial wave is shipped. Hasbro would be f'ing stupid not to make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 They didn't make more MP-10's, so they seem to have little desire to make money---even after bumping up MSRP 40% it still sold out. It may have been restocked a bit from distribution centers, but there was only the one production batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negotiator Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well then, I guess they are just stupid then, but even if there was only 1 batch of optimus(optimi?) and rodimus, they stayed up for order a good day or two the second time around.

treatment Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Yeah. Yet another BIG FAIL by TRU.Tried online last nite and today. I got it as available, but cart keeps going to "0" whenever I tried to checkout. Then website updated to "Sold in Stores" only. sh*t! Called the local store, and they don't have it. Called the TRU's 800# to check availability and they told me no store in my area has any stock of it at all. Both had told me to order it online instead. :blink: Screw it. Screw TRU. Hope it shelfwarms and crap on both TRU-stores and lucky scalpers. Guess it's a good thing I haven't canceled my amiami re-preorder of the Tak-version. Anybody tried ordering from their ebay-page again, btw? Edited July 18, 2013 by treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think the biggest fail is that TRU decides to make a hotly-anticipated collector's item available in very limited quantities at a time when most of the market is asleep.
