Toys R Us has listed the Transformers Animated Cybertron Mode Ironhide as "In Stock".
Interestingly, Toys R Us listed the name wrongly as "Star Wars The Clone Wars Force Battlers Action Figure - General Grievous".

You can view the listing by clicking the images below.







Seibertron, Ultimate Resource of Transformers!

not sure how much you can trust that listing...I would rather not gamble on it.

im dying to get rodimius!

That listing has the right image and price, but this listing has Ironhide's name and description:

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4020274

I'm not sure which one to believe. The Takara version I have on backup preorder isn't due until October, so I'm not going to risk TRU's mixed-up website for Ironhide until/unless they get it straightened out.

Rodimus, on the other hand, had some stock on Monday and his page has all the correct information. Ordered at 3pm monday and it's already out for delivery. Surprisingly fast service!

Saw that same listing with Hound's image last week. Out of stock then, and out of stock again this morning. Don't trust the incorrect Star Wars listing to chance it. Does anyone know the actual product ID number? if we can verify that, we can verify which posting has the real toy. What a joke. Just stock the damned things correctly already and stop jerking us around TRU

Looks like the actual Star Wars toy is bigger and priced at $24.99 and up depending on the retailer. Maybe the TRU listing is accurate, despite the obvious visual screw up.

UPDATE: Decided to try my luck and ordered it. I'll let everyone know what actually does arrive from this listing. If I get the Star Wars toy, I'll return it (unless they pull something) or my son will end up with a surprise toy at half the price.

These toys were in stock at my local TRU the other day. They had about a dozen TA Ironhides and an equal number of TA Rodimus Minor figures. They also had a few MP Grimlocks. I picked up MP Grimlock & Rodimus but I passed on this figure for now because I don't really like the Cybertron Ratchet mold this toy is based on.

Now I feel better about pulling the trigger. My local TRU is not so good on the exclusives.

Here is a link for Rodimus Minor: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... Id=4068794

He's listed out of stock right now.

They have a few of him left at the TRU in Bay Shore, NY off of sunrise. Just posted in the sightings forum I JUST got home like 10 minutes ago with TGA Rodimus Minor and TFA Iron Hide in hand ;D.

I do have an extra TFA Rodimus Minor looking to sell, PM or AIM me if interested! When I left TRU they have 2 of Iron Hide and Rodimus still. Pics below!

ok people time to hook up fellow Seibertronians with these TRU exclusives. my local TRU is remodeling to include a BRU inside and the action figure section is not even accessible!

MP Grimlock
Animated Rodimus
Animated Ironhide

PM to sell all 3 to me via paypal, preferably if you are in the northeast. thank you!

That's is pure hilarious right there, with the wrong name listing. Other than that, I'm somewhat on the fence for him, as I'm focusing on the Classics/Universe/Generations line(s). It still is weird, Ratchet being the old guy and Ironhide being younger...

Received two calls from TRU customer service to clear up the Ironhide/Grievous confusion on their site. Rep advised that she confirmed with the warehouse that I will be receiving Ironhide, per my order. Impressed at the thorough follow-up.

Ordered Ironhide through the incorrect Grievous page, and sure enough, I got Ironhide. Between this confirmation and others speaking with TRU customer service, you can feel safe about ordering Ironhide if you can't find it in the stores. Of course, the TRU shipping is expensive compared to actuallt finding one on the pegs.

Daddycon

$14.99?? Are you kidding me? They're not even that expensive in the stores!

Can someone hook me up on these two? I have PayPal.

And please, no $40.00 a piece, because that's just scalping.

I have an extra Ironhide.
