Received mine yesterday, box was in pretty good condition, just a little creasing in the top corners.

When I called to ask for a replacement, they told me that it was all sold out and no longer in their inventory. Way to go, TRU. Ever heard of putting aside customer service stock for returns and exchanges? No stores here have it in stock, so I can't do an in-store exchange either.

Update: Found another Masterpiece Grimlock at TRU while looking for the Evolution 2-Pack of Slug (which I also found at last). I was able to swap my defective piece from TRU.com for the one in the store.

I must say, I like it quite a bit. It's a nice display piece. Not so much a great toy, but as far as G1 looks, it can't be beat, and, to me, it scales nicely with the newer Masterpieces, like MP-10 Optimus Prime.

Thanks for the update! Got one.

He's back and available for shipping. If you still can't find it in your local TRU, this is a perfect opportunity to get one. Still priced at $79.99 with free shipping. And while you're waiting for your MP Grimlock to arrive you can check out our galleries of Takara's Masterpiece Grimlock.

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Took a screen capture of the site, just in case it goes out of stock before I get to TRU today, so I can go back and get the price match.

Seems like a lot of trouble, but I'd rather be content with the decent box I got than risk getting a smashed up or otherwise abused one from the website.

Thanks for the update! Finally snagged one!

Even though it's showing as "Add to Cart", once you try that the system updates to "0". Guess that's it for this round.

I was so happy to FINALLY get myself one! I can't believe how many resellers there are on these masterpieces! I almost bought the Takara reissue with the flaming sword. $80>$200

Oh yessss! I've ordered mine in the nick of time then! I had to close an account for an US address, because they don't ship to Europe!

I already owned Takara's MP-08 but now I can have him in both in Robot as in Dino mode!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE POST! :APPLAUSE:

And it's sold out before I got a chance to grab one for comparison galleries. Urgh. That's what I get for working until 3am and waking up at 11am.

hey don't worry, they've been doing this promotion every 2 weeks. You may be in luck in another 2 weeks before the movie is released. just make sure to wake up at 9-10am to check. or keep it locked on these forums.

So that means that TRU doesnt necessarily sell it for the price online?

Depends on your area I think. In NY I believe it retails for $93?

The figure is crap!! I agree and cannot see why so many are selling. The figure is not worth $79.99 let alone what the scalpers are charging. NOTHING on mine ordered from TRU.com worked correctly...I was afraid to even change the eye color after the gun to mine broke off in Grimlock's hand hole. I took mine back as defective to my local TRU and now have another MISB (none of the gimmicks worked on mine as figure was super loose...not that the gimmicks are worth a damn anyway). I really do not plan on even opening it...probably just display in box. This figure is a complete disappointment to the nth degree!

I wish Hasbro would have gutted this thing of gimmicks and just gave us a figure that would properly lock in robot form so that it could be handled and displayed. I could give a crap if the head and tail move or the gun/sword light up. :roll:
