Generations Metroplex Now Available at Walmart.com

I ordered one for my son from there because he wants "Santa" to bring it. None of the Costco's by me ever got it in and I've been calling every week. There are about a handful of stores in Illinois that got it and it would cost me as much in gas to get there and back for the extra $10 spending it at Wally World.

This is good! I hope more casual buyers and collectors buy him so the sales will encourage more Titan class releases in the future.

I hear ya. The way people talked, I expected EVERY Cost-Co to carry him, but I had just as much trouble. Cost-Co = FAIL. I guess the membership "benefits" iinclude the inevitable disappointment and waste of gas/time?
My 2.5 yr old loves Metro! I filmed him in utter awe of the giant fig! He went ballistic when Metro fell over (as Metro has as easy a time staying upright as a drunk). My son is quick to anger...
You're making me wonder if I should let him go nutz with Metro on Xmas... I took the toy away for fear he would destroy it, but... you can't really put a price tag on that amount of toddler child-joy!

YES. But I get the horrible feeling Metro may end up at a TJ Maxx or Big Lots for waaaaaaaaay cheaper. Which sounds awesome at first... but then you realize Hasbro would never make another Titan again, were that the case. Still, I sincerely hope there are parents out there that realize how EPIC Metro is (scale alone is breathtaking, plus when have you seen a toy box THAT large). HOWEVER, now that I think about it, TMNT is going to suck the money out with their Lair playset (same size, same price). So it's really unfortunate that Metro has such strong competition this year...

... the real loser seems to be me as I've overpaid on Metroplex and all of the Beast Hunter Deluxe figures.

I got a couple from HTS, thinking my discount would be the best price ($106), but what can you do?
The distribution of TF toys is frankly so bad and unpredictable that you have to go with a time-worn turn-of-phrase: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!"
It's not worth trying to secure a cool TF at a "good price" as you run the risk of paying DOUBLE when it's off shelves and you're stuck with scalper fees!
Ergo, you did well buying Metro when you felt the time was right. Don't beat yourself up for making the right choice (at the time), as Metro could end up anywhere (price-wise) in the future and no one can really see the future. It's what really sucks about online shopping, though: returns are a b*tch, and price-matching isn't really available.

aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnd...they got me.

I kept holding out on 'ol Metroboy, but once again I'm suckered in by a deal.

Wow, just in time for the holidays, too. Guess what's going on my Christmas list?

BB is the last resort no one wants (surprise, surprise), and my guess is the scalpers are poaching the f*ck out of Prime FE fig's, hence why it's ridiculously hard to find anything BUT BB.

But yes, Arcee has appeared in TJ's before... but I'm not going to tell you to keep looking - I'd hold off a bit and go closer to Xmas. The discount shops have been beefing up their stock, but so far it's mostly Kreo crap. I'm thinking we'll see a ton more Prime FE's closer to Xmas...

I'm personally disappointed. Prime FE? Really??? I don't know what I expected... but something better than that!

Mine came yesterday. Pretty speedy delivery.

Does anyone else hate the damn stickers. First one I tried to put on (the Optimus window)I dropped and bent it. Now it has a horrible scuff in the corner that is driving me mad. This was why I never used to put the stickers on when I was a kid.

No. Just no.

Of course not, because you don't care what the topic is; for you, every thread is just an opportunity to argue, flame-bait, and troll.

I really wish you people would learn to use the "Report this Post" button instead of taking matters into your own hands.

Both of you knock it off and get the thread back on topic.
