Transformers Titans Return Grotusque Found in Toys R Us Stores

Posted by william-james88 Apr 23, 2018 at 3:01pm CDT 21,560 views
The fall of Toysrus has left a few Transformers exclusive toys in limbo. One such toy was Grotusque who was supposed to be a shared exclusive between Toysrus and Hasbro Toy Shop. It was available online but the toy was never found in stores at Toysrus, until now. Several were found at a Toysrus in Columbus, Ohio, and we have an image below for proof. This was posted on the Cybertron Cafe Facebook page.

With the Toysrus website no longer active, this shows us that products are being moved from the warehouses for the online portion and into physical retail locations. This is good news for fans who were not able to purchase a Grotusque in time. Let us know if you find some in your respective sightings threads!

I mean, not only are the prices higher and the taxes a pain in the ass in Canada but the distrubtion is erratic/messy, especially in the middle wave but I also have to deal with high shipping for anything that cannot be found in store. It's a good thing my only exclusive (TR Brainstorm) was one BBTS sold and it's a simple deluxe with no fancy box or anything, making it only about 10-ish bucks pricier.

Getting my hands on things like TR Arcee or Grotusque is genuinely a pain in the ass.

It has arrived.

Was not expecting the box to be that big.

Took out the Rodimus Titanmaster first, and can barely feel the diecast.

Anyway, I'll take the rest out later.

So far quickswitch looks quite cool. Prime's chrome stickers are a bit messy from what I can tell.

He isn't all diecast, just the face part.

Yeah I know. But I had a hard time feeling it. The face is also kind of soft in the features.

Anyway. Quickswitch's knees are super loose, hard to keep him standing. Otherwise he's pretty decent in most modes.


Prime is very nice, but the lack of heels is an issue. Still I think I'll keep him.

Haven't taken Nautica or the clone out yet.

I doubt they will do it, but if they are using Velocitron as a set maybe just maybe can we have a figure of Knockout? He lived there in the IDW Windblade series.

I recently acquired Fortress Maximus, Hardhead, and Overlord. I realize I'm rather late to the party on that, but hey. I'm rather enjoying having them all, though Fort Max and Overlord do have their faults (and I have modifications planned accordingly). I have plans to scratchbuild my own sword and guns Fortress Maximus, with priority going to the sword since that's the accessory that takes the most advantage of the Titans Return version's articulation.

What I could use are the blade section lengths from either the SDCC/Hasbro Asia/Legends sword or the G1 sword, to give me a ballpark to work with.

Just remembered something I forgot to put in my last post, concerning a recurring subject throughout this thread.

My Wolfwire's canopy continues to remain intact thus far, even after frequent opening and closing and being carried around in my bag often

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but Wreck-Gar deluxe is going to be a Wallgreens exclusive, like Brainstorm was.

And Ollie's are selling Trypticons on the cheap. But that I'm sure you're aware of.

Wreck-Gar isn't a Titans Return toy.

oh, right, it's PotP. Mixed them up. I kinda see the trilogy as one line.

Had a bit of fun a few days ago setting up my Leader-class Decepticons as a combined base.

Overlord's Titans Return transformation scheme makes me wonder if perhaps his moldmate was originally planned to be Snapdragon rather than Sky Shadow, but they dropped that idea because keeping the tank saved effort.

And speaking of the tank and Sky Shadow, I'm going to be sending in a complaint through the online contact form about the sheer fail that is Overlord - the guy the jet-tank Duocon design originally came from - not having a carry clip for the tank like Sky Shadow or like his G1 toy. The chest panels thing is a pathetic substitute because it's not like they really tab into the tank turret, they just sit loosely in the slots and are incapable of actually holding the tank in flight. Does the third party upgrade kit have a fix for that f***up, or will I have to do that myself?

Not sure if its been mentioned or not, but just looking on eBay, looks like a bunch of china based sellers are offering Siege on Cybertron sets, brand new, for a fairly decent price. (most have 100% positive feedback as well...)

I only have the one I initially pre-ordered from BBTS last year. I know for a short time, they were going for insane prices. Oddly enough, it appears the more widely distributed "Chaos" set is fetching more on average than the "Siege" set...never would have thought that a year ago.

I had an idea while looking at Doomshot, Megatron’s titan master.

Does it make sense? Nope.

Is my paint work that great? Nope.

But do I like it? Yep!

Well... That's one way for Starscream to become Decepticon Leader without question.

I'd say it is. The silver looks a bit lumpy? but otherwise, good job :)

Thanks! Doomshot’s the only titan master I have right now, but he was really fun to paint! I’m hoping I can still pick up a few of them before they’re gone.
