Wow griffin you managed to resist Human Alliance! This might be a good thing...

It was tempting, but they were NZ$85, which would be about AU$68 - way more than what I would expect them to be at Kmart (if they ever get them), and more than the $50 people said they were at Toyworld. And they only had Bumblebee.

Hey,

If you look at the pic carefully, on the left button area, there is a dark version silver bolt universe classic, right?

It has a decepticon name but it is actually silver bolt repaint. It is TRU exclusive selling 70$ today. I think the box in photo even have TRU tag on it!

My question is, where are they from? Aren't they are supposed to only in TRU?

I can't comprehend what you're asking, but yes, it's Universe Darkwind and it's a Toys 'R' Us exclusive along with Countdown, the toy to the left of it in the photo.

If it is TRU exclusive, are they supposed to only be sold in TRU store? This photo is not from TRU Malaysia, isn't it?

It could be, as far as I know. And exclusives aren't the same internationally. We've had US Target Exclusives sold at Australian Toys 'R' Us, US Kay-Bee exclusives sold at Australian Myer, US Target Exclusives sold at Australian David Jones, US Sam's Club exclusives sold at Australian Big W and so on - the list is nearly endless.

Spotted at TOYS R US in one of the shopping mall in Johor Bahru (malaysia).

Can't remember exact price so only approx:

MP Grimlock ~ RM499 (AUD 165)
MP Sunstorm ~ RM450 (AUD 150)
MP Prowl ~ RM 300-330 (AUD100-110)
MP Acid storm ~ RM399 (AUD130)

Retailed more expensive than australia's. I'm perplexed on how the collector's afford/tolerate such ridiculous pricing RRP here. I suppose u'd only buy with some sort of discount or offer in place

Looking at TFW2005, I just noticed that the MP-10G has been sighted in the Philippines on a retail shelf!!

Maybe we'll be super lucky and this will become more widespread.

As I had noted in the SDCC exclusives news topic, the one I got from ebay was from Asia with a Hasbro Asia distribution sticker on it (the seller was actually in HK, so probably got it from a local store)... which means that they were available to retailers there, and if you pop on over you should be able to see a few at the moment.
(it's not like anyone has the time to buy toys over there at the moment, being too busy protesting and lighting fires... )

For around $252 AUD as well. Paid $330 for mine. Would I have been able to get it here for $77 or less though?......

Ah well. Should have Optimus by the 12th, according to the Couriers Please, in any case.
