OH YEAHHH!

Cue Kool Aid man!

This is my first post, but I've been watching the MP Grimlock forums very closely since June. I have one pre-ordered from the site but I'm feeling less and less confident that he will ever ship. Does anybody have any idea when he's expected to hit east coast TRU's? Thanks.

Welcome to the best TF board in any town!

I thought these were supposed to be released a month earlier. Well, someone let me know when there's one sighted in North Carolina

I'm taking this sighting as a positive sign that toys r us will be sending out those pre-orders soon. Here's hoping

looks like i'll be on the searching my local toys r us in north carolina they are usually pretty good about getting stuff asap

And if how fast the last set of TRU exclusives showed up here, I'll see one in retail next month.

Unfortunately no.

Thanks. Might get it I'm not sure.

It's been re-listed again on TRU.com, altho as "out of stock". I just checked my order status and it's listed as "Item(s) located in stock", here's hoping that means they're in the process of shipping the orders out.

Just got an email from TRU.com that my order is now being processed for shipping! WOOT WHOO!

Yep! Just got an email saying it should be delivered next week!

I just got off the phone with my local Toysrus store.According to the person I spoke with,they don't have this in stock.

All of the TRU stores that I called in my area including the Time Square store had no idea they were suppose/going to getting MP Grimlock in and none of them have it in stock. I'm just glad they're processing the online orders now so I don't have to hunt these down.

Must be a NY/NYC thing,seems like we get the ppl, who don't have a clue as to what were talking about. I called the one up here in the New Hartford area. I was like "Could you tell me if MP Grimlock was in the store yet?" after being on hold for 10 mins the person come's back and was "what was the name again sir.MP GrimWad?"

It's apparently a TRU thing period. According to the manager of my local, they're just sent stuff, they don't know what's coming in until it gets there. And they can't order anything specific.

If I remember correctly, what the person I asked told me is they usually get shipments in on Fridays, and get the manifest of what's in the truck that same morning. They don't know what they're getting until they've already got it.

A news tidbit for all the folks out there...

Masterpiece Grimlock, Animated Rodimus Minor and Cybertron Mode Ratchet come in different cases (obviously) but they are shipping together.

So if your store has one item, but you don't see the other, have them check in the back. All three exclusives are shipping together.

News in regards to TRU Grimlock pre-orders:

Toys R Us Rep wrote:Hello,

We saw your post discussing the possible cancellation of orders for Masterpiece Grimlock placed on Toysrus.com. Every customer that preordered Masterpiece Grimlock received the email due to a delay in the shipment of the product. We have confirmed that all of the orders placed during the presale period will be fulfilled and that they will be shipped on a first come, first served basis.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks,

This was emailed to Seibertron Staff this afternoon.

Saw this topic yesterday and thought to myself, "Hey, that TRU is only 5 miles out of my way. I'll check it out tomorrow after work." Sadly they were already sold out of the Grimlocks.

I did get the SKN (TRU's version of a SKN) for anybody that wants it 35-4815, hopefully I can at least help someone else find one at their local store.

This location also had 3 Animated Arcee and at least 6 of the Cybertron mode Ratchet. There were also quite a few of the PCC 5-packs and at least 2 of each PCC 2-pack.

I worked for TRU for 3 years so I can confirm what others were saying, they don't get to order stock, its all based on what the computer says each location has. They are just auto-shipped a truck full of stuff and find out what they got as they're putting it out.

The TRU in San antonio has been suprisingly on point with the enw releases..I hope I can find this at retail, was really looking foward to my first grimlock figure!

All I know is I received my note today from TRU indicating my pre-order was shipping at the price I paid @$59.81 - which included tax and shipping

Will arrive sometime next week.

Fellow San Antonian! I'm planning on heading up tomorrow, if I go I'll tell you if I find anything.

Was just at the Times Square store this evening, MP Grimlock not in stock yet. The only Animated series figure there was Ratchet. Otherwise some PCC (first wave), they don't even have Drift or Thrust from Generations! Some Commemorative figures (Insecticons, Perceptor), old figures!

As usual no love for Mudflap!

I got my mp grimlock today and it looks like stores are only getting three a piece. I'm still trying to figure out how to get his head to move up in t-rex mode without having to do it manually, I can get his head to move side to side and close the jaws. So if anyone can tell how to do this thanks in advance.

I don't care about the delay. It's the CANCELLATION they mentioned that bothers me when they sent that first email right after the price went up. I don't want them to cancel my order and then I have to re-order with the "updated" price.
