MP Thundercracker at TRUs in SoCal
Yesterday was my birthday so I slept in late, I was woken by a buddy who had found 1 MP TC at the Glendale TRU and hit Burbank to see if he could find me one, but couldn't, he had also hit the one in West LA 3 miles from my house and no dice. I decided to forgo breakfast for a shot at my closest TRU in Culver City, and was rewarded with 3 MP TCs, so I chose the best face paint I could find (really minor stuff, but there were paint cracks on the other 2 which an insane stickler like me would be drawn to stare at all the time). I'll post more in the main forum for TC, but it's pretty cool even if it is $70.
See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?

Re: MP Thundercracker at TRUs in SoCal
I just got back from my local TRU store that is 70 miles away round trip. Needless to say after a year,MP Thundercracker is still in TRU stores. I saw about 8 of them today.
It's kinda funny/sad,That most internet TF fans were getting all impatient & rushing to get Hasbro TRU MP Thundercracker last year. The sad/funny part is this toy is super easy to find even a year later at most USA TRU stores/site.
I find it odd TRU & Hasbro are hoping for decent sales of the upcoming MP Acid storm when most TRU stores/site are having hard time trying to get rid of/sell all their over stock of TRU MP Thundercracker. CLEARLY DOING A MP ACID STORM WAS A BAD CHOICE. I would have rather seen MP Sideswipe or MP Prowl as a TRU MP Store/site exclusive in MP Acid storm's place.
