    Just ordered him from TRU came out to 137.75 shipped and all because October when I could've purchased this guy for the retail price at the time of 99.99 plus tax all because I wanted to wait til the holidays so I could use the 20% off coupon they always release.

    I would really like an explanation on why this toy is so difficult to purchase from ToysRus. After having all these online restock orders get cancelled, I'm left scratching my head as to why it even keeps getting "restocked."

    Hmm..I wonder if these will ever get restocked in actual ToysRus stores for 2013 because right now, TRU's online inventory doesn't seem to exist.

    He probably wasn't in stock at all. Badly updated site, I guess.

    I found a pretty good fix for one of the QC (Quality Control) issues. I noticed the 2 chest pieces weren't closing enough, and were leaving a gap. I also noticed one of the screws (the small one on the inside of the chest that holds the window in place) was not screwed in far enough. The head of the screw was scratching the chrome Matrix cover when I closed the chest. I tried to screw it in as far as I could, but it was still sticking out too far.

    I took all the window screws out and used a wire cutter to cut about a millimeter off each one. I put them back in, and now they go in further, but they still hold everything together.

    The chest is still not perfect, but it does close better.


    Now if there was only a fix for the leg issue (legs don't stay together in truck mode).

    Thanks! I was so busy looking for a chest fix, I didn't even search for this yet.

    I guess I missed this guy. Never saw him in a TRU, even a tag for him.
