oh man... I greatly appreciate the offer brother, but that would be way too easy for me... I love the thrill of the hunt!

I'll accept your offer St. Even lol. Just pm me and I'll paypal you the money. My local Toyrus' stopped carrying the high end Transformers because they don't sell around here.

Does the TRU MP Optimus have the Shortened Smoke stacks like with MP-01 that was released in the states? or the normal smoke stacks?

From everything I've heard and seen ... He's got full sized stacks.

Then ill have to keep an eye out for it. never got an MP10 or a trailer for my MP01. After looking at a video comparison of the 01 and 10 molds seems ill like MP10 better than my 01.

This again? Seriously? Okay then, you wait for clearance. Let us know how that works out for you. By the way, you are nuts. $250+ for the Takara, or $100 for the FIRST domestic MP Optimus Prime with a trailer and ALL accessories? This is a no-brainer and MOST of us are VERY pleased.

Hopefully, HasBLO won't choose to listen to things like your post and ruin it for everyone else.

Both MP-02 Ultra Magnus and MP-04 Convoy Perfect Edition were sold at retail (Target) in Australia. And TRU AU has confirmed they'll be stocking MP Optimus Prime.

So here's my story. I frequent my local TRU here in San Diego and have a pretty cool relationship with the staff. They are always holding items for me and will usually call me as soon as they unload a truck at around 7:30am, that may have an item that I have been inquiring about. With that said, about 3 weeks ago I get a call about MP-Thundercracker. Score! Yesterday at 7:30am I got a call to let me know MP-Prime was on hold for me to pick up. Score! Life is good. "Til all are one!" or at least til all have a hook up like mine at a TRU.

Agreed. Even when my TRU had one lonely MP Grimlock sitting on the shelf got WEEKS that sucker didn't go on sale. That thing had to have been there for a month and a half before someone finally took pity on him and bought it.

Back when I wasn't interest in MP's... and didn't have much money because I was fresh out of college...
