    I don't think the traffic's that bad in Ypsi/Arbor. On game days, on 23 sometimes, on 94 east at 5pm, etc, sure... but the rest of the time it's pretty manageable. I've left for work at 5pm on Friday's for like 2 years and I'm very rarely late or even caught in traffic. However, the corner of Washtenaw and Carpenter that the TRU is nearby is pretty much the worst corner in the county. Awful traffic, lights that flicker from green to red again, confusing (to stupid/unaccustomed drivers) traffic patterns... Simply horrible!

    Back on track, the Ann Arbor TRU has a couple MP Grimlocks, but nothing else new that you can't find at every other store in the area now. I'm still kicking myself for missing Ani Rodimus on Friday. He will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine...

    Edit: I saw one Ani Magnus!

    my drive in from say exit 41 to exit 37 took me over 90 minutes with whatever crazy traffic they had going ok- one lane road for 20 feet followed by 2 miles of 2 lane stuff...

    I've just got TRU.com set up to send me an email when MP Grimlock comes back in stock. I'm sick of stalking the stores in Jackson and A2. Still want Rodimus Minor though.

    The TRU in Novi had Roddy and Ironhide today(I think it was 3 of each). They also had MP Grimlock.

    Sweet, I'll be heading to the Novi TRU tomorrow. Nobody take all those Rodimus and Ironhides! TRU in Okemos has 1 Animated Arcee for anyone still looking or wants another one.

    stupid question as I am fairly new to these forums...but what is with the excitement over Rodimus and Ironhide. I can see it for Grimlock, but I dunno...I've never been into the animated stuff.

    First of all, Rodimus and Ironhide are TRU exclusives, and since Animated Arcee and Cybertronian Mode Ratchet were hard to find when they first came out, we're all afraid the same is going to happen with Rodimus and Ironhide.

    Secondly, there are fans who like Animated, and with the series canceled, there are a number of said fans who want to be able to get the last few remaining Animated figures Hasbro comes out with and therefore complete their Animated collection.

    That's why.

    I'm hoping more Rodimuses(?) and Ironhides pop up. I'm getting very tempted to just spend $50 to get both of them online.

    I'm anxious too, but just chillin... As T+C said in the post above, Cyb Ratchet & Arcee were hard to find when they first come out, now we can't get them (or in some places just Ratchet) off the shelves soon enough to put out Rodi & 'hide.... I think in time they'll be pretty easy to find, just give it a few more days/weeks...

    Yeah, I'm sure once the hype over Animated Rodimus and Ironhide have died down, they'll start gracing the toy shelves at TRU more and more, much like Arcee and Cybertronian Mode Ratchet have now started to appear more and more with the hype over them losing luster.

    Went to the TRU at Jackson Crossing today. They have 3 Masterpiece Grimlocks. I bought 1, so there's 2 left. This was as of around 10 AM.
