Asia exclusive Springer found in USA tru
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 8:51 pm
Today I decided to go to Toys-r-us to maybe find a new figure to add to my collection. Much to my surprise I found the Asia exclusive Autobot Springer sitting on the shelf right there. I grab it super fast and wondered why it was here. I talked to one of the employees and he apparently was T.F. fan too. He said that they mistakenly sent the package of all of the transformers to this particular Toys-r-us. They had the whole set with one extra springer and he said that another collector came in and grabbed one of each and left. He was going to send them back but the collector snagged them and left one of them behind. I was lucky enough to walk up on it and get it. I am glad the collector was not greedy. This was a really lucky find considering I am in the U.S. I really was not feeling like spending $26 on ebay for him. All I have to do is get the rest of the wave and I am all set. I also picked up generations Warpath (a much needed figure) and to my surprise they also had 8 masterpiece thundercrackers. I could not get thundercracker today though. The employee agreed that he would not send the Springer back and he was cool enough to sell it to me for $13.99 and sell me the warpath for 13.99. So I saved money on each figure. I will be coming back to this tru for masterpiece thundercracker and maybe to see if they also send another package of exclusives by mistake.
