    This. I had a studio series mixmaster come missing the little drum piece for devastator’s head. They sent me a TR broadside instead tho of all things.

    Checked all 3 citi trends stores in San Antonio. No metroplex. Just Cyberverse and botbots when it came to transformers.

    FYI the Ross TFW2005 forums are reporting a different group of SDCC exclusive transformers at their Citi Trends. Someone found the AOE dinobots set and a throne of the primes.

    found throne of primes, sdcc dinobots, and an ER optimus prime at the Cititrends in Irving yesterday (left the dinobots set). No metroplex there or at the one in Lewisville.

    $7 botbots 8p, $30 er prime.
    Scored the $100 Metroplex and $50 throne!!!

    FYI, the aoe set not in main toy section but in table Midway down main walkway.

    Metroplex walked out the door before I got there. But I did get a Throne set. Apparently these places really are only getting one figure per store.

    I hope my citi trends store in PA has some of this sdcc stuff. Won't be able to check until Saturday or Sunday. But if anyone finds an extra Metroplex or Throne I'll pay for cost+shipping+a bit more for your effort. (D3VC0N asked first, but if a second person finds one they don't want dm me)

    Just a reminder, $400 is a phenomenal price for Metroplex. He's routinely going for $600-$650+. Finding one for $100 is a miracle.

    Only dinobots at the temple location. And that is where I will draw the line for now. Heading home.

    Ironically I almost walked into a citi trend last week but said nah. I only see clothes from the door.

    Thanks again for this forum.

    We probably passed each other. I spoke to the guy at the front counter of the Walzem store and he told me he had sold a big Transformers the day before (Wednesday). He didn’t know which one.
