I missed TRU Masterpiece Grimlock in stores but found a guy that has him new in box for $135, I know he was $70 in stores but is this a good deal or should I pass until I come across a cheaper one? I love collecting transformers but even more so, getting a good deal.

I would get him. I think that's a good deal. I have never regretted purchasing that figure, and he's easily one of the best in my collection.

I know he's awesome but trying to get a fair deal, so you think $135 is fair?

If it's MISB, and you have money to throw around, get it. But otherwise, you'll probably find him closer to $100 if you are patient and don't require MISB.

$135.00 for a MISB US version is a pretty good price. He was in limited stores and sold out rather quickly. I think I saw 1, maybe 2 restocks...total. Once he was gone, he was gone.

I'm contemplating selling mine, as I'm planning on getting MP-08X. Can anyone give me a rundown on comparison between the 2?

I picked up TRU MP Grimlock for the $135 also scored Generations red alert & blur new for $35 for the pair. And got robbed for $60 on a MISB RID Optimus Prime.

From what I remember very bright silver paint with blue covering limbs, deeper looking gold and red accent on sword. I personally prefer the look of the TRU Grimlock best but would love to get my hands on the red accent sword.

135 is a good deal? I actually found 4 at Toys r US about 3 4 months ago shelf warming. (this is after I already got mine for $100 on Ebay =/ and well after the MP Rodimus came out) Anyway it was $79 but didn't pick any up since I got mine and is no longer following the price of it.

135 is pretty pricey...you can definitely find a better deal somewhere else. I saw a few at a local toy store for about 90-100 recently
