TRU Cyber Monday Starts Today: Metroplex $77.99 And Free Shipping!

I bought Jetwing Optimus Prime at TRU yesterday, and didn't even know that figure was even coming to America. I always thought it was a Takara exclusive or something. But now, I'm kind of wishing I had saved my money for Metroplex, now that they're having this sale... I can never win.

You made the right choice, trust me. It was a Japanese exclusive for a long time, and then Amazon decided to take a chance on it and import it. It's assumed that their overstock is what led to TRU getting their allotment for this sale. I'd imagine that both stores could end up being horribly overstocked by this guy if he doesn't sell out during this sale, which there are indicators that he just might.

You'll always be able to find Metroplex, you won't always be able to find Jetwing Optimus for $50.00.

Gotta love first world problems. XD This is why I always wait for holiday sales, because big items will always still be sitting around~

Well, Jetwing Optimus was on sale. His regular price was $100. I got him for $50. So... I guess I might have gotten the better deal, but I still really want that Metroplex.

It'll be a test of will-power but hold out for as long as possible. If you can wait till well after the holidays most stores will start clearing out their stock for the Spring line-up and you can get even better deals than what they have now. Years back I snagged Supreme class Starscream from the Cybertron series for less than half his normal price.

However, it does hurt just a bit seeing the prices as they are now. Looking at the ad I see 4 figures I've purchased within the last month and all of them are at least 3 to 4 dollars cheaper than what I paid for them. At the time I was gambling that they wouldn't be in stock around the holidays and they very well may not be since I only pick up toys in brick and mortar stores and not on-line, but that's my own personal choice and my own problem if I gamble and lose. The rest of you who shop on-line will fare much better than I will on snagging these figures even if you wait a bit.

Can Generations Metroplex be bought under $80 bucks in the store too? Or is this just online?

Platinum Bruticus and Grimlock for $60?

Why is it that God curses me with low money?

You goddamn Americans and your insane sales!

Sigh... The non-talking Metroplex is still 140$ + 15% taxes at TrU.ca with no free shipping whatsoever. Also, the thing was seen ONLY at TrU. Is Metroplex a TrU exclusive or what?

Oh well, let's see how it will turn out on Boxing Day. I will not get my hopes up.

Non talking?

Blame some stoopid multi-language laws and Hasbro's unwillingness to comply. The Canadian Metroplex only have sound effects. No talking at all.

The thing that enrage me is that there's TONS of English only speaking toys on the shelves and nobody gives a fawk. So, why the hell does Transformers get the shaft alone?

KnightStrike, As of the time of me posting this, Metroplex is still available on sale on the TRU site.

CORRECTION: When you actually put him in a cart and try to buy it, the only option is store pick-up which show no stock in my area.

Yeah, that is the same thing I am getting. Every TRU within 100 miles lists it out of stock or not carried. Glad I already have one, but it was tempting to get one for a custom at this price. Oh well, money saved for the next Generations wave

I'll be buying Platinum Magnus and maybe Beast Tracker Prime tomorrow off the website and pick him up in store.

EDIT: Well BT Prime is out of the question because store pickup isn't offered for him. Oh well, 35.99 for Platinum UM is good enough.
