Go to BBTS, buy, enjoy.
I tried BBTS a while back and didn't find them either, so don't think they are carrying them. I looked elsewhere and found them for a reasonable price at RK.Seibertron wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:Ginrai Minor wrote:Being a 90s goat baby I gotta have a G2 goat Prime....it just feels right.

I can't find YOTG Optimus Prime or Masterpiece Soundwave on BBTS no matter which keywords I search for. Are they selling these?

Possibly because they haven't been selling well or because they aren't as "exclusive" to a particular retailer as once was thought.
I sincerely doubt that places like Target or Walmart (U.S. ones, that is) would want to sell any of the Platinum Edition toys. The way I see it, the main reason TRU is the only store that carries the Platinum Editions, the Hasbro Masterpieces, and other big expensive collector-oriented TF figure is because TRU is the only retailer willing to carry them.-Kanrabat- wrote:Well, let's hope that "exclusivity" bullshit get removed from that series.

Like Walmart, who will sell ANY toys to Quebec, language on the box be damned.

Remember when Walmart had the MP Starscream and MP Skywarp that Hasbro put out? Both of those shelfwarmed out the wazoo. Whereas Hasbro's later MPs seem to sell a lot better at TRU.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
If I had to guess, I'd be inclined to believe it being due to the different types of customers who shop at each. Walmart's known for having lower prices than most stores, so it's probably expectant of those who shop at Walmart for anything to spend less money than they would at other places. And not necessarily on toys since the toy section is but one part of a much wider selection of goods.Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I sincerely doubt that places like Target or Walmart (U.S. ones, that is) would want to sell any of the Platinum Edition toys.

Why did that happen with the Wal-mart released MP's? Was it a matter of Wal-mart over-ordering versus the actual consumer demand? Or was it a problem with distribution, where some areas got way too much product and others got next to nothing? It would be interesting to know why Wal-Mart failed so hard while TRU figured out how to keep demand high.

Back before I became a more serious collector, I never really knew what the MP line was. But I was at Walmart one night and found a few MP Skywarps on the shelf. He was my favorite Decepticon when I was a kid, so I scanned it, thinking if it was on sale, I'd buy it.
$7 on clearance.
I kick myself now for not getting the other two, but they must have shelfwarmed pretty badly to have been marked down that far.
