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
