Re: TRU Canada SKUs reveal retail price for Masterpiece Soundwave, Generations Metrop
I remember in Ottawa we got in October a new Toys R Us in town and we had plenty of stock for the masterpiece line for both Optimus and Thundercracker. I had walked in one day and literally saw about 20 MP Primes and 35+ Thundercrackers . This time around definitely not going to be seeing anything close to those numbers.

Re: TRU Canada SKUs reveal retail price for Masterpiece Soundwave, Generations Metrop
Not looking forward to a Soundwave MP hunt. I was one of the lucky ones that got MP-10 x 2 (I actually had 3 but stupidly put one back on the shelf). The search was a terrible experience and the only reason I was able to get one (not even in the GTA area) was because I was on leave at the time. Now that I'm back at work, there's little chance of finding Soundwave so I just picked up the Takara one and will consider it a bonus if I can find a Hasbro.
Metroplex on the otherhand, I can only hope will be a shelf warmer as I'm hoping to get one for myself.

MP10 was really an anomalous case that is unlikely to ever happen again. If they come out around 30% off sales, MPs are always a little hard to find, but MP10 never even got fully distributed in a very weird and unique scenario, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that every MP will face that unique situation from here on out just because it was the case for Prime.

With people taking cases literally off the backs of trucks and given how popular this figure is - I'd say it is likely to happen again.
I expect that you're going to see it pop up for $200 and not find many in stores unless you're lucky.
That is unless TRU tightens up its distribution network and stops allowing people to pull shit like I mentioned above.

My concern is how slow FOC SW/SB seem to be selling. Makes me wonder if MP SW will be low quantities because of this.

I really want that Soundwave, but not sure I want to rely on retail...

I'm gonna try, and in all honesty I'm probably not gonna want it bad enough to pay much above that.
