I'd best grab a Sunstorm and Grimlock while I'm here in Malaysia. TRU Express at Kuala Lumpur Airport has heaps. Plus stacks of other cool stuff we haven't got / won't get :)
Cannington wasn't that helpful and told me nothing will be coming in for few weeks. I felt it was a brush off
THINGZ (the shop) have Transformers giant mugs $19.99. Black with chrome Autobot logo and G1 Optimus Prime. Look real nice!
Also saw some Autobot/Decepticon logo drinking spirit glasses. Great if you have a bar........BURP!:p
Also Marvel Monopoly:D
So I was just doing some maths. There are 33 TRU nationwide. 4 are in WA. 4 stores x 4 Grimlocks per store equals 16 Grimlocks out of 400 that were supposed to be available. If we average 400 Grimlocks across all 33 stores it works out to 12 units per store. So what happened with the distribution?
If we assume that all 33 stores only got 4 units ( I don't know if this is true, just a poorly based assumption), then that leaves 268 units unaccounted for. I really am wondering if at least 100 units are going to be made available online, or if there will be more pallets with MP Grimlocks being delivered in the next few days/weeks?
I talked to a few of the Toys R Us staff yesterday (In ACT) and they said if they sell out of the 4 allocated they can call Head Office and request more. So if you are after another ask the staff to order in more. :DQuote:

My bad, I put in a nicer way, isn't it bad business foundation of doing things like this besides doing it with common sense of a popular item?
I. Would question such a decision
TRU Joondalup has MP Prowl, MP Sunstorm and AoE Slog on shelves right now. They won't sell for the sale price today, but put them on customer hold until tomorrow and you should be right.
Edit: Sorry brain fart, meant Sunstorm, not streaker. Also updated to include TRU Joondalup was where I saw them. I was rushing this post from my mobile after I saw them.
Cheers mate! Reserved my sunstorm and just picked him up!!! There's no masterpiece toys on the shelf. They said all the other sunstorms have been reserved. No word on grimlock for those wondering, I presume all have been reserved.Quote:

I had the impression that grimlock was going to be so much easier to get than soundwave but I guess I am wrong.
TRU Cannington had no MPs on display, no new Voyagers and still no Bumblebee Evolutions.
best to call before you visit a TRU. I don't think Cannington got the chance to even display a MP figure.Quote:

Very top shelf.
Should have asked you to help pick one up for me. I am stuck at home currentlyQuote:

According to a friend, he saw 3 MP Grimlocks on the shelf at Morley this morning, but then someone came along and took all 3 to the register.
The nerve of some people.
Hope they were bought for other fans (here or elsewhere), and not just scalped on ebay.
How much are these MP Grimlocks retailing for here?
I think it's the same price as sunstorm. 129.99Quote:

Am I missing something?? Why don't you guys just order online from TRU website? They charge a very reasonable $9.99 delivery, and if you get both Sunstorm and Grimlock the postage is still $9.99, it seems.
As of 5 seconds ago it looks like there is still online stock AND Prowl is discounted to $80 for those who want the Hasbro version with extra box air space!
There's one Drift and Slog at Morley Myer as of This Tuesday.
Slog and drift are at Kmart Rockingham, 49.
Grimlock wasn't available on the website for purchase for a long time, so it is still circulating out through the community that that is now an option.Quote:

Oh look, so it is! I hadn't checked for a couple of days. Must've been recently that they made it available online now. WOOHOO!!!!Quote:

Substorms and prowls at Innaloo and heaps except typical 4 sunstorms
Six mp sunstorms on floor in tf aisle at tru Morley, three more on a cart. Four mp grimlocks on shelf in tf aisle too.
HOWEVER they didn't have the bonus Abominus pack. Their suggestion was to take my Sunstorm to TRU Innaloo or Cannington, refund it then buy it back plus the pack. :rolleyes:
I said no thanks and left my name and number for them to contact me when it's in stock.
Thanks snaketales :)
I'm still considering if I should get me a Sunstorm...
I grow tired of repaints but he was an interesting character in the comics.
No interest in Grimlock as I've got the takara version.
Good to know that there's enough for all IF scalpers don't go crazy over these things first :mad:
I too was on the fence whether I needed yet another Seeker repaint though decided to get him anyway and he looks absolutely awesome, pictures do not do his colour or flame design justice. I personally prefer him to Acid Storm.Quote:

I am fine with the hasbro version too but don't like the gold painted bits
Good news and bad news
Perth Comics Centre has deluxe generations back in stock (I saw Rat-trap, the mini-con combiner, Scoop and Skywarp) oh and Tankor
Bad news is they're up from $30 to $40.
At the back of the store I saw voyager Roadbuster and Springer for $65 each. There were other voyager boxes behind them but I didn't check them.
I now have my Abominus pack :DQuote:
