The Toyworlds at my end a overloaded with Metroplexes. Eventually they will have to put him on discount, or so I'm hoping.

Worth getting? Or not? His super robot mode looks AWESOME but his vehicle mode is disappointing. Shouldv'e made him transform into a construction site or something.

Also should I buy CD Red Alert?

My brother bought one for me at Wal-Mart for 10 bucks I think he was worth it, the bot mode is pretty cool. But you are right alt mode is a big let down. If it's not discounted, wait.

I own Metroplex and I like him. The bot mode is nice. He is pretty durable just dont snap him in half like I did.

I'm trying to picture how one could accomplish such a feat, but can not see how it would be done. I think were going to need a story.:grin:

On the other hand, I've got the same over stock problems here too. Its either Metroplex, Mensor, Monkey Prime or Limeolisher that still sit on the shelves. And their every where! always staring from their little bubble homes as the dust collects on the cardboard backing.

He was probably talking about G1 Metroplex, that figure had a problem staying together in the middle over time. I believe the person that started the thread is talking about Cybertron Metroplex.

Cyb Metroplex is not too bad a figure. He is tall, but the alt mode is, well, not even worth mentioning it is so bad.

I paid about $10 USD for mine on clearance. I would not have paid more, but that is just me. I recommend waiting.

I think so!

As soon as TRU cave and put him on clearance for more or less £20, I'll bag him. That and Wingsaber, and I'm finished with Cybertron.

i saw one last month at wal mart.... he looked cool but was in a super jacked up condition.... there was no price checker arond so i took it to a worker and asked for the price.... now the package was torn, i mean rock bottom messed up.... pretty much a kid jumped up and down on the box. thats how messed up it was. so i thought, heck yea, theyre gonna clearance this sucker for me, AT LEAST 50% off. NOPE, full price 39.99 :? .
