I just realized something here...

Your TRU (which I've shopped many a time) in Elyria is the first to break street date (or is it? Follow me for a second, I'll get to it here...)

Beldon Village was the second to break the street date.

But I remember now....the first full case of the figures debuted in Maple Heights Ohio, on eBay.

Could it be that when that case sold, the other local TRUs figured it was okay to sell their's as well? It would seem to fit the time frame, and if the seller was working for TRU, he would definitely be able to get his hands on that entire case.

It might just be coincidence, but....that many in the same region? Something doesn't sit right.

Oh that's certainly crossed my mind. Why Ohio seems to be the only area though that is doing it I'm unsure. Doesn't matter though. We're getting movie figures 2 months early and I'm not complaining.

And to Bobrock. Vermilion.

I might just have to make a trip to Elyria (when their next truck comes in), or Beldon Village. Problem is, Bobrock went to the Elyria TRU and they told him they weren't supposed to be sold, so I may be S.O.L.

Grr....TRU!

Hmmm, I'm glad so many many like it. No, I'm not that convinced it's great. It's ugly. I won't buy it. Good for others who will, more crapy Transformer movie figures, and keep Transformers some how alive....right....cool, yeah... hooray. Don't worry it's just me, and my opinion, like that it impacts any sales, so, yup.... cool.

He looks decent enough to me. I may buy him when he comes to the UK.

I had never put two and two together... Nice point.

Beast Wars sequel! You heard it here first! That certainly has the makings of an amusing comic.

I still need to see a bit more, but Bonecrusher is really shaping up to be a figure to pick up. Lots of spikes=win.

First of all a company breaking street date is breaking a contract, hense, they can be held legally responsible for it. What will happen is most likely they will be fined and that's all. They will have gotten the jump on the sales and the competition will suffer. In reality, who really cares./

Second, why are people still posting saying "These designs are aweful, look at how bad they are." We've known for months how crappy these designs are, no one should be remotely surprised by now.

Third, like ALL movie toys, these will sit on the shelves until they are clearanced because they will flood the stores with them. It happens with every movie toyline, it will happen with this movie and it's toys. Granted they will probably sell a crapload of them, but mark my words, in September these things will still be plentyful and on clearance.

edit*** just the way things go.

KEWLLLL.....Im going to go to TRU In a Few Minutes.

i called the toys r us where i live they sold out of bonecrusher

Where do you live? That way we can add the state and town to the list of sightings. If he's sold, then he was at least there with the rest of them.

I have been very excited about this toy line since I first saw the pics. I will be heading out to try and find em.

I get to go to TRU on Friday(no school) w/ early B-Day money(probably around $40) and whatever money my mom gives for helping with dumb bulk trash stuff, like taking our crappy trampoline apart.
I'm gonna look for the movie toys as soon as I get in there, if they don't have any I'll look for the TRU Soundwave and other things.
I really want the voyager class Blackout.

As do I, but I think I might wait until these are on clearance.

The thing I don't believe about all this is that it only costs 10 bucks! When it comes out here in the UK, if it's anything like tha Alternators series that retail for £20 (about $40) they'll be sat on the shelves a lot longer than they will be across the Pond because they cost too much!

So I can assume the UK will be getting these in roughly a months time.

I just got off the phone with the Erie PA store, and they told me they had 'em on the floor, now the guy tells me they haven't even shipped from the warehouse.

Then I told him about the Cleveland area stores selling out (and he confirmed it). All the Cleveland area stores sold out of them.

I said "Well what happened to the case? She was sure it was there." He became silent and said "Well, it might not be here...anymore." And I said "Ah. Gotcha. Must be nice that employees can break protocol. Thanks for saving me the gas."

He said "Wait like the rest. You'll get your's in June. Goodbye." and hung up.

****.

Doesn't surprise me. I went back to my store in Elyria today because they said another case would be put out....Umm...They had the original first wave of Transformers Titanium figures in the bare spot instead. Perfect end to a poopy day... And it's not even 3:00pm yet.

wouldn't suprise me if employees got to any first shipments and nabbed 'em all to put on ebay or something.
and i've known people that have worked there and done it. i mean, did anyone find classics soundwave at toys'r'us? cuz i never had any luck. thankfully i ordered it direct from hasbro.. but still.
and i have yet to find classics devastator in any walmart. and there are ten in the area.

Oh I finally found Classics Devastator. My Wal-Mart has about 3 or 4 cases worth of 'em.

Niles TRU had Soundwave. He sold out quickly.

Sorry for the massive bump, but did Bonecrusher ever get sent to Seibertron for a gallery?

Nuh uh. Due to money problems I'm being forced to sell him on ebay.
