We'd like to think loyal Seibertron.com member nemesis-prime for sending us the following tip.

Masterpiece Grimlock is now back in stock online at Toysrus.com. As you all know, "in stock" can change quickly, so if you still need this big, bad Dino you might as well grab him while you can by clicking here.

Nope, out of stock.

Gotta love the "List Price: $99.99. Now only $69.99!" So much for truth in advertising...

I called them an hour ago and they were sold out. They can't update their site fast enough to reflect their actual stock. The next shipment isn't til mid September so best bet is to hunt the stores. I managed to find one today and a few animated rodimuses and cyb. Ironhides.

Masterpiece Grimlock is starting to show up on store shelves. I walked into my local TRU last night, and walked out with MP Grimlock and TA Rodimus.

ok i have an extra one, figure 69.99 plus ny state sales tax which is 8.625% plus shipping.

90 bucks shipped to anyone who wants it, so it is basically 5 dollars more than it would cost from TRU.com.

You would think with these things selling 100 x better than masterpiece skywarp at 69.99 hasbro would have mass produced it. Does anyone know of takara will make a masterpiece overkill repaint?

TRU.com has the toy for $69.99 with free shipping. Even with sales tax it would only cost about $76 shipped.

And I can almost guarantee they will be getting more stock. This is the "exclusive" Soundwave reissue all over again. At first they were scarce, but in the end they had so many on store shelves that my local TRU marked them down to clear shelf space. Stock for a to stores first, and after the store have enough to sell, they get offered on TRU.com in greater numbers.

yes they have free shipping this week, but that free shipping does help you when the item is OUT OF STOCK. Who is to say they will still have free shipping when they come back in stock, it changes every week. So yes you can wait for the item to come available again, and than receive an item that it packed like crap and the box is damaged.
