Transformers Universe Masterpiece Grimlock Available At Toys R Us.com

Yeah, TRU has changed it....
Maybe is premature listing or only 2 available and sold out....

Cant wait till he hits the stores !!!

Wow, the price at TRU is actually reasonable. I expected something north of $80. I may have to pick this up to display in dino mode or keep boxed.

WHAT THE FRAGGIN' SLAG?! are they sold out, or just pulled the plug early? SOMEONE TALK TO ME HERE!

Well, they did that to Animated Arcee, too. A while ago found they put her on the website as out-of-stock, couple days later she was gone for good, never appear again on the website.

I just got a spare Skywarp on super-sale at Wally-World, and I'm hoping they will carry this, as all the MPs have gotten down to at least 1/2 price there.

TRU exclusive...so don't expect to see it for less than retail as TRU pretty much never clearances their exclusives. But that is a pretty nice retail price.

However, it kinda begs the question...if Hasbro can manage to release it for only $60, WTF was the TT retail $145 or whatever it was? I suppose the only legitimate answer for that is: because people were still more than willing to buy it... I gotta say, if the Hasbro version actually keeps the sharp teeth and claws, I regret getting the TT version. Hell, for almost $100 less and having the crown instead of the stupid tray & apron, I kinda regret it either way.

Out of stock as usual. Original price was $99.99 now $59.99. I called my toys r us and had them check 5 other toys r us stores around my area and they don't have it yet. Any idea when these will hit stores? Will they be $99.99 or $59.99? Toys r us exclusives are so elusive.

Me DaiShanPrime want masterpiece Grimlock. Want Grimlock now!

I'll wait untill clearance.

I don't know what japanese retail was, but the TT release was higher because you have to pay for importing and the companies that do that also mark up the price so they can make a profit.

The Takara release was 10,000 to 13,000 yen on shelves here in Japan. I don't know how Hasbro can release it so cheap even if they skimp on the fancy packaging and the die-cast.

Are the apron, drinks tray, bow tie and intelligence transfer helmet included with the Hasbro release?
