When I stepped into my local Toys R Us, I got a huge surprise: they had the whole Transformers Movie figures set up at the entrance. When I saw it, I just stood there in complete amazing at the amount of stuff they had. I've never been to a TF convention, and don't know any fellow collectors in person - so this was by far the most Transformers stuff I had ever seen in one place.

In short, it was a beautiful thing to behold.

They even had two digital screens playing the theatrical trailer on a loop... I must have looked like a weirdo standing there watching it constantly for what felt like a half hour.

Here are some pics for all to enjoy and drool over as I did!

Update: Seibertron member zedman also found this new display (with backings not seen in my photo) a few days ago, and sent us some photos which you can see below:

What, no, my pants do not have a wet spot on them sir!


Anyway, gosh do I hope my TRU sets something up like that. I will be all kinds of happy.

Saturday can't come soon enough!

Hopefully my TRU replaces the Spidey 3 aisle with a display this awesome. Might have to go there to just drool.

I have a ton of movie toys already, the six real gears, all of the deluxes except Swindle, all the voyagers and leader class Optimus Prime but if I saw that I would still spend a small fortune.

Holy Crap my pants! :shock:

If my TRU looks like that on Thursday when I check it out I'll be standing there and staring too.

It was great to see, that's for sure. My only complaint is the prices. Our Canadian dollar is pretty strong now, yet I still pay about 40% for everything. Leader Class Prime is over 90$!! and the Movie Legends are almost 10$ each, it's ridiculous.

Plus, I'm a student which sucks. This movie-summer is only gonna happen once, and I'm gonna have to content myself with a few deluxes and Real Gears...

Updated with zedman's pics, and front paged since I don't think we've seen the official displays before.

Hopefully it's just a Canadian thing...

I noticed there's no Megatron in the Leader Class section, yet someone just bought him and Prime at a Target either today or yesterday.

Here's to hoping Megatron *WILL* be released.

was your TRU letting you buy the figures or do you have to wait for June 2?

In the words of Charlie Brown. AUGH!

Here comes my first step into debt. I only want about....$100 of figures. My Helmet and Leader Class Prime making up half of that...Well actually more than half.
