MP Soundwave @ TRU.CA

[steamwhistle]

Here is a pic of the mashed box MP SoundWave I just picked up (St.Cath TRU). It's really sad that considering all the shipments that they get, it seems like the MPs are pretty much always the only ones that get mashed. It almost seems intentional...

Sometimes, to me, it's not about the condition of the box, but more about getting inside...

Regardless, and irregardless, I cracked open the outer package to assess the internal damage. I haven't yet opened/separated the plastic trays housing SoundWave and the others though. The toys/collectibles/products still appear to be 100%. Rest assured, the packaging has done well to protect. Soundwave looks great, even with yellow eyes.

The instructions are just loose in the box, so don't expect that to be in mint condition (either).

Good luck, friends.

Damn....
I didn't order one from TRU.ca because I know for sure that TRU will not put any protection for their shipment and will mess up the box.
Hope rest of the store shipment won't be as bad.

Who knows, maybe none of us will get it...

I think its case by case and which csr you get. I got a hardass.

Honestly, I think he just quoted the same exclusion disclaimer crap from the Metroplex pre-order to get me off his back.

I'll be getting my SW and AS from the USA with their 15% discount code: EXTRA15. Had to call in though to get it manually added. Woohoo!

That actually is not bad compared to what happened in the US.

Ditto. I expect no issues for those who did use a coupon but I felt a wee bit safer not trying.

As for the box condition, as long as the toys survive I'm happy.

So these are showing up at trus in ontario...yet no indication of online order fulfillment? I think I ordered mine within hours of it being posted initially.

That's not even 1000 units... Wtf Hasblow.... They never learned, not even after all that MP10 Prime complaints... That doesn't make sense... I don't see ourselves being less populated than Japan here. Maybe even Takara produced more Soundwave than Hasblow.... Man... I don't know what else to say.. End of rant... Haha
