Awesome! Thanks, would never have noticed the sale without you guys

Just ordered it. Too bad it wasn't in stock at any location near me, but free shipping so it all worked out.

I can't tell if this would be cheaper or not than the free shipping of Walmart.com's $99 Metroplex. :-?

You should still get free shipping from TRU on this. Total cost for me was $89.56. So around $10 + tax cheaper.

Might this sale also be present in the brick-and-mortor stores, I wonder. :-?

Since it's a 24 hour deal or whatever, I would be surprised if the price is the same in-store. You can always select in-store pick up on your order if a store near you has any in stock. That way you get still get the online price. You might also be able to get the store to match the online price if you don't want to order online, but they might not.

thanks, I got my acid storm and a legends hoist to get the free shipping for a total of $56.23 WOW, I'm assuming the deal with masterpiece Soundwave didn't last a minute, LOL.

Very nice.

This gave me the opportunity to pick up Platinum Bruticus at a good price, in anticipation of the Microblaze upgrade.

I just called my local TRU, they have one left in stock, and I just negotiated with them to let them sell it to me at the online sale price. I'll be heading over there to pick it up this afternoon! :KREMZEEK:

Putting MP Soundwave, who is always out of stock, on sale like that is just a cruel and sadistic cock-tease.

Got an Acid Storm and Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus plus free shipping. Saved a load lol.

Wow such great deals.... don't need anything... but want to buy something.... must resit...

Awesome, I just picked up Metroplex and Acid Storm. I'm not in the US or live in one of the countries they ship to but I got a friend to give me her address and she will ship it to me.

Yeah, same here. Even at $48, I still DON'T want MP Acid... :SICK:

I've heard too many bad things about the quality... AND, I still don't see the appeal in Barbie-sized TFs, when the deluxes are much easier to store/display. :-?

I'm tempted with the Bruticus/Grimlock set, but... I think the price may drop even more later. Plus, I would really prefer to buy that upcoming 3rd P. Voyager Onslaught (which will basically fix how awkward looking Bruticus turned out).

Acid Storm is OK - he's certainly not terrible, and the deco is a nice change of pace from what we're used to. A Seeker is a Seeker in my book. At any rate, it sounds like your real problem is with MP scale, which I don't quite understand, but OK.

Also, I'm not sure how you can deliberate between getting Platinum Bruticus -OR- Microblaze Onslaught. Why would you get Microblaze Onslaught without a Bruticus to upgrade? :-?

Curse this website. I would have been more wealthy if I never typed in this URL. With all the bruticus upgrades running around, I had to get the Grimlock Bruticus set. I already have Grimlock but I have the upgrade set on order. Does anyone need a spare Grimlock? :BOOM:

No one needs THAT Grimlock :SICK:

FYI it's not just Transformers, GI Joe is on sale too, unfortunately much like Transformers most of the sought after Joes are listed as only available in stores. If it was in stock I would've gone for that FOC kickback since it goes for big money online.

a few things interest me but not enough to equal $50, and not one single thing uses shop runner so im out. Doesnt bother me cause now neither TRU or hasbro will get my money. But i knew i should've waited on MP Soundwave, the TRU i go to is loaded with them & they match the websites prices. Thats what happens when i break my own rule, but with the money i saved on everything else it works out in the end.

I paid full retail for Metroplex last week, and boy was I steamed when I saw this.

I called my local Toys R Us, and they were willing to credit me the difference when I showed the receipt. I took the gift card and bought Acid Storm online.

Two robots for the price of one. Christmas just got that much cooler for me.

Back from TRU and Metroplex is mine!

I also picked up a Prime BH Deluxe Night Shadow Bumblebee (the first and only one I've ever seen in stores) and I did my TRU the courtesy of ridding them of what is hopefully the last lingering pegwarming DOTM figure they'll ever have: Deluxe Air Raid.

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:29 pm

It's discouraging trying to take advantage of TRU sales. Each item has a catch... most here are pick up AT a local store ONLY.... and all of the store here have the items out-of-stock. Here, mine have never gotten Metroplex or the Wreckers, Grim/Bruticus, etc.

I've also noted any time they have a sale, they pull Masterpiece and other fancy items off the shelf... and they reappear after the sale ends. Is that legal? Sheesh.

It's all making them a bit of a last resort for me. Each visit (and each time I check a sale online) represents a sore disappointment. Groan.

I love the notion of having a local toy store, but I'm sending more and more of my business online now because of their prices and the way they handle sales — and stock their toys.

Great deals! Just ordered the black talking Powerizer Bumblebee for my daughter, the BH Ultimate Optimus for my son, and Platinum Ultra Magnus for me. Daddy needs a Classics Magnus stand-in. Bam.

by **gothsaurus** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:46 pm

I think you may have needed a comma there, my friend. Black, talking Bumblebee is quite a far cry from black talking Bumblebee. Laughing out loud here at work.
