TRU Canada listings: Plat. Ed. CNY Starscream, YOTH Prime & Grimlock v Bruticus

I'll get the prime and starscream if based on the masterpiece moulds, no if not.

Question you might ask yourself, why only Canada TRU listed these on their site, and now it's not there any more.

same for me. In honest I couldn't care much if I miss it even though I do not have mp 10, is a bonus for me if there is. If the colours are crap I may not even buy it.

I was thinking of this too. Just realised that using BW moulds, they could achieve 11 of the 12 Chinese zodiac beasts, even unlikely ones like the Rabbit, Goat, Dog and Pig. I can't think of a TF who's alt mode is a Chicken (unless they plan on repainting or heavily retooling any of the BW bird-formers).

Wait and see I suppose.

I would speculate on the Cybertron version as well. It's not a great mould, but it could just be that the decision makers saying OK to this are the same people that were convinced that they could sell Energon OP a second time...

I hope its not masterpiece redeco's, otherwise it just means more MP's to buy than...:rolleyes:

I think repurposing a birdformer could work for the year of the Rooster. They mightn't even need to re-tool if they go for a more cool-phoenix themed deco to pass off as 'rooster'. I think the bigger problem is that a lot of these toys aren't sufficiently large to fetch a decent premium. Perhaps a 12 toy zodiac giftset?!? :eek:

Giftsets probably the way to go!

Probably a good thing that the current Lunar Zodiac line isn't very good - imagine waiting 12 years just to complete the line :eek:

Let's dance, Prime... :p

I hope we get him here, especially with the price of the platinum stuff so far. ;) (Exc. Grimmy :p)

I don't care if there's a horse on the side of the trailer, I NEED IT!!! :eek::D

Just noticed the gold chrome on Grimlock only happens in two parts with the old gold parts still there. Not sure it's worth getting anymore.

grarr.. i dont have mp 10 yet... is it because im in australia or is the pre order page down for toysrus.com.ca?
