Does anyone know if any of the stores are carrying it. And for a decent price.

You're probably not going to find it in any brick-and-mortar stores at this point.

I'd normally be all about recommending TFSource so you could get yourself some free shipping, but they're alas out of stock. (Unless you want a Japanese or Hong Kong version, but you mentioned "for a decent price," so I suspect you don't want the extra expense of an import version.)

So I suppose I'd second GuyIncognito's BBTS recommendation. And given how these are sold out pretty much everywhere else, I'd also suggest not waiting. You want to make sure you get it, and you want to make sure you don't get their last one in stock, just in case when it arrives there's anything wrong with it. (For example, mine arrived with a split leg and a smashed head. Luckily, TFSource was able to see it repaired for me.)

These are averaging at around $150 BIN on Ebay now. BBTS has it for the same, but for $20 dollars more, you can get the TG-23 version in all its chrome-faced glory, which is the route I went.

Here in Michigan, Metro only made an appearance at TRU for a brief time during last holiday season and quickly vanished with never a restock. It's really a shame that they made such a desirable milestone piece such a rarity, but that's pretty much the way Generations has gone nowdays...

i wasnt aware he was hard to get now. i recall him being discounted everywhere. didnt costco have him for like $70 at one point?

Well, I can only speak for my own desolate little corner of the country. Even our Costcos here didn't have any.

if i could try to convince you...

try to scrounge up the money for this:

TG23 - Metroplex (Import Version) @ BBTS for $229.99 $169.99!

obvious bonus, two guns and that is a killer price. i have the HK version which i love, but id honestly rather have the TG23 instead as its slightly more accurate to the original and has more paint apps. if you find a way to afford it, you wont regret it
