Same here. I ordered them yesterday off HasbroToyShop.com. Free shipping for DISC10 makes it the same price as buying it in stores (assuming the retail price is the same on HTS and at the big box retail stores like Walmart).

Picked up Ultimate OP at k-mart south. It was the one and only. :shock:

I was able to get the Skystriker, Prime Prime and the 2 Zarana's earlier today. Felt pretty lucky snagging that Skystriker.
Anyone see the new Speedstars cars? Can't find them anywhere!

same here! sad i missed out on that Gi Joe Screamer and most importantly the TRU MP Rodimus. My new job prevents me from getting online at all throughout day, any chance any of you getting an extra from TRU.com? I will gladly pay for it, including shipping

I'm just waiting on an e-mail from TRU to say in stock, and it will be no problem. I'll be checking our store here too. Anybody know the manager's name there..?

TRU has Ultimate OP if anyone is looking. No sign of MP Rodimus...

News Credits: 3 · by **Fistful of Energon** » Fri Jul 29, 2011 8:11 pm

still no signs of the rescue squad bots? I saw none at target west last weekend

Our very own RadioBoomer spotted MP Roddy at TRU today...He told me there were 3 and he picked me up one. Im assuming one for himself as well so there is a good possibility one more is available :grin:

EDIT: there are 3 remaining!

by **barricade2218** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:05 pm

I was there right around noon and they were all gone.

crazy...thats only a few hours after he told me about them. He did mention that they were hidden.

by **radioboomer** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:02 am

We went back last night around 7 and they were all gone. Shelf tag was there but someone must have come in between ten and noon and cleaned them out. Barricade, are you looking for one?

by **barricade2218** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:42 am

Definitely. Had the 20% off coupon all ready...

by **radioboomer** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 11:35 am

Dangit. sorry Barricade. I thought from a previous post you were on the lookout for one for Fistful and didn't need one for yourself. I'll try and make it for it...before the coupon runs out.

did you happen to see any of these at TRU Boomer? http://thefwoosh.com/2011/08/dcuc-revie ... e-two-pack

by **radioboomer** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 3:56 pm

I thought there were some new DC Universe two packs but I could be mistaken. Might be worth a visit if you have the time.

there were none, keep an eye out for me :grin:

I did find the rescue bots at TRU though! waiting for the kid to come home to give it to him, im a little excited :KREMZEEK:

Yeah I checked Toys R Us at about 12:30 today and didn't see anything. I even checked behind all of the other DOTM boxes to see if any Rodimus'(Rodimi?) were hiding. I allllmost pick up one of the 6" Lion-O's but $17.99 seems a little crazy for that figure.

I agree...that killed it for me. especially when for the same price (BBTS) you can get the much cooler 8 INCH! classics Lion-o and Tygra!

I did almost pick up that sword of omens though, I will keep and eye out for it to go on sale though. :grin:

Got my Exgraver today. Ordered from Acestoystore.com- http://acestoystore.com/store/. They were ten bucks cheaper than everywhere else, so I got it and shipping for what everyone else is charging just for the figure. Will definitely order from him again. That is one BF arm..!

I so wana be cool with the cost of these figures...i just know that Ill regret it down the line if i dont jump on it.

I just havnt been completely sold on them yet, especially when i can get a full scale MP conhead from igear for just a bit more.

can you try to sell me on it Tim?

by **barricade2218** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 11:33 am

How hard do I need to twist your arm..? Honestly, you and I both know there would be people saying it's crazy to spend the kind of money we do on any of our toys. I did think $97 was a bit much, and getting it for $95 shipped and in my hand on the third day, was the clincher. I figured if I had any issues with it, I would be able to exchange for store credit. It is a nice figure, bulky and fun to play with. Good pose-ability and turns into a big freaking arm with a nice sized hand that most legend figures would fit in. I had no quality issues with mine either.

You also know these will not be affordable down the line, so it's more of a commit now or forget it type thing for me. I'm going to sell off some stuff so I can have it, because if nothing else, it's a great investment. Wallet is getting thin with getting all three Conehead Seekers, Thundershred (it just shipped through BBTS today), a MP Rodimus off E-Bay, and Exgraver. With them releasing the pieces as they are, I should be able to swing getting all six figures. It is going to be one big G 1-ish Devastator when finished though. Much better than that Ultimate ROTF Devastator I have, which is a joke.

You can always stop by and check it out if you want to see it before you buy it.
