VIC Transformers Sightings.

I rang up early and i got some girl who didnt even let me finish when i had asked her about the MP Grimlock... she said they are waiting stock next week, she said sydney got it early and are releasing them. I offered to give them the SKU code but she was persistant that they have nothing. I went in and this time went to a guy and ask him about it. He was kind enough to look both on the pc and at the back. He said they are at the back but there is so much storage it would take ages to open... i was like um ok then. I went about 10:30am to Chaddy bro, once i found out they wont open it and that they told me that they might open them tomorrow or Friday. So i went to Doncaster where i got it with friendly staff there who put it on hold for me and then i picked it up.

ah ok that makes a bit more sense, I was there pretty much right on 9 as I had to drop my mum off at 8:45. You probably got the girl I spoke to! I bet she was thinking 'bloody nerds get over this robot dinosaur already' haha! I thought she checked out the back or something too, there was definitely no mention of them already having it and not putting it out. I have to drop my mum off again tomorrow morning so I might try my luck then. I live about 5 mins away and I'm often doing regular shopping there so I often do laps and see what's around

I don't suppose you've opened yours and had a play? curious to see if there are any issues as some have reported already...I will probably still get one regardless as I don't have any other versions and this is a great price with no shipping costs.

thanks for the info!

Hey bro,
nope there is nothing bad about the toy at all, this is my first MP Variation of Grimlock and to me he seems great and such. Sometimes there can be problems with loose joints or maybe scratch marks on the plastics which i have found on some of the reviews that i have watched. However mine has nothing at all. The box was a little bit scratched though but thats about it.
Yeah she really sounded like she was not in the mood to help at all. I havent had a good chance at playing it much but just checked to see if everything is there as im correcting assignments. The box when i picked it up is very light and it made me think if the toy was actually in there :P
The guy said if they are out, then he will be putting it in the glass cabnet you spoke off last time about the Prowls. if you dont see them there then check the shelf and off course ask someone that is not that lazy one. haha
Hopefully you strike at luck tomorrow.

Just spotted Voyager Slog and Drift (helicopter) at Myer and TRU.

Myer has $10 off every $50 spent too until Sat 30th.

no more MP Grimlock at TRU Knox City (last one on hold). apparently new shipment coming in Oct. The two girls were absolutely lovely and they got bombarded with calls this morning and what they couldn't figure out is why now, apparently MP Grimlock had been sitting in the back for a couple of months now and there was nothing preventing them from selling it...

also someone apparently called up this morning wanting to put 3 on hold

What? I called this morning and was told to call at night or early tomorrow to see if they have unpacked them. This is unbelievable, not happy at all...

MP Sunstorm is at TRU Frankston ($130), just in, only 3 left after I bought one. No MP Grimlocks have arrived there yet (so I'm told by staff), 2 MP Prowls left which have been there a while.

So glad I poped in to Chaddy this arvo as I picked up the last MP Grimmie.

I was told they had almost a pallet full and sold them all in the space of an hour and half. The dude was really nice and he said his system shows the Sunstorms will arrive on the 2nd of Oct but no second shipment of the Grimmies.

Sunstorms already? The guy from TRU Chaddy said they don't arrive until Oct and the system shows Frankston has none nor have they sold any.

They definitely sold one this afternoon! They were carton fresh, hadn't made it to the shelves yet.

I got my grimlock this afternoon too from chaddy. I went there first thing in the morning and spoke to a different person who told me they had boxes out the back which required shifting and opening so they didn't know how long until they were out. I ended up paying for it then and came back in the afternoon, got it out of the cardboard case/carton.

While I don't know what to look for in terms of elbows that someone said, it is kinda floppy :/ still, I have a frikkin huge robot t-rex now
