Anyone have any word on when MP Thundercracker is going to be released???

 

Is it just my impatience, or does there seem like a longer gap for this one???

 

I have a strange feeling, like the coronation set, where they release 2, and then don't release the 3rd one.

Hard to say I would think. Wal-Mart took a bath on the MP Skywarps(or so it appeared to me). I waited and got mine at the 30 dollar price and a specialty/used toy dealer I know cleared them out(as in has about 20-30 now) at that price and I'm still finding them. That could pose a problem if that is going on everywhere else and possibly make TC a non viable product or at least a reduced production run on them. Or I could just be full of crap, one never can tell.

I can tell you Skywarp is long gone near me.

I have 5 Walmarts near me and only 1 ever marked the figure down to $30.

In all the stores though the figure showed up a week before Christmas and was gone by the last week of January.

 

My closest store had 12 at 1 point and moved them all without that sale price.

 

I think thats a pretty good turn around on an exclusive, especialy a more expensive one. If you still have the figure for $30 in your area, you should clear them out. A MP figure will stand for an impressive barganing chip in a trade one day ;)

 

All that said though, I think the reason why we aren't getting Thundercracker this year(we think) is because Hasbro put the focus on Grimlock.

 

I'm another one who would like to just finish off this Seeker set already. At the same time, I don't mind waiting as we'll be getting something actualy new.

 

Either way, it is going to happen at some point. We just gotta wait it out.

Skywarp was a super shelfwarmer and most units sold on clearance here in Canada. And even on a clearance, he still wasn't selling. Not expecting a Thundercracker anytime soon.

Oohh!! I still need MP Skywarp too. There is NOTHING here but looking forwart to MP Thundercraker like you wouldn't believe! My favorite of the three.

Welp, ask one of these guys if they can hook you up ;)
