last week we had thundercracker on our system and not on the website which is strange and we had a steady supply of thundercracker for 4 days straight, now i checked the system and thundercracker is no longer on there and also still not on the website which again is strange especially since we had it on shelves for 69.99 and in system it showed regular retail price was 115.99

i've been searching the system for grimlock and nothing has come up but with the recent patterns i've seen i would be surprised if they are hitting shelves before they should be, another example the MU figured we have in as long as with the new vintage starwars figures are not in our systems but they are still on shelves and we have to put in the SKN# manually

so to see a few grimlocks on shelves now this week wouldn't come as a surprise to me at all

so what happened? any updates....

Generations Grimlock is in the second wave of Voyagers slated for 2013, and wave 1 hasn't even been released in Asia yet.

okay so grimlock and other figures like the master piece optimus is on open order, so im hoping in a week or two we will see them pop up, also with the holiday shopping goin nuts the TS:TRU prices on thundercracker went up from 69.99 to then 74.99 and now its at 86.99 and i can only speculate that it will go up more being that the listed retail price is 115.99

"open order" means enroute? (seriously asking--I've never worked retail)

I was wondering what was going on with the MP Prime. I figured it wasn't happening this year since we got Thundercracker, but that's good news to hear.

..and about this Thundercracker; I've noticed that since that one week (about 3-4 weeks ago) where every TRU (by me at least) got a shipment of Thundercrackers, they're all gone and they've also removed the shelf tag. This is the same in three TRU's I check.

open order mean basically that we can put in the order for some cases and if its approved by the warehouse we will get them in but that all depends on whats in stock and how sales are doing if merch gets cleared out the warehouse (times square has a separate warehouse that's located in jersey and is not on site) and there is room for more stuff then they will bring it in

when thundercracker hit shelves it was kinda funny because it wasn't in the system and it wasn't on the website but the UPC was readable by the register which means the SKN# was in the system but them item itself was in limbo something like a ghost, i could see it and physically touch it but it was no where in the system. then after that week, it shows up in the system and i saw the orders our store made but then a few days later it disappeared off the grid once again, now its back in the system and we were taking pre-orders on the MP:OP online but it wasn't in our systems now i just checked the website and the MP:OP is now gone from pre-order, online it was $99.99 but then i asked the guy who makes TRU orders and he says that its showing up as 149.99. a lot of crap is goin crazy and im sure they will fix it all up but at least we know its in open orders so any day now they will start popping up and at first it will just be once case at a time or maybe even two at a time who knows but i will def keep everyone posted

i know for sure that as soon as grimlock comes in it will be gone in a heart beat, it wont even hit the sales floor because we are all waiting for it in my section so when that comes in i will let you guys know and from there then we will know it will come back quick
