    Just called Toys R Us on Loop 410. The guy said they got in MP Rodimus but that they were sold out. He said that there is a guy in the check out line right now, 9:56 am, that is buying four of them. Thanks you B***ARD scalpers!

    While four is a high number I don't think we should automatically assume scalper. I bought three myself and the other two were already spoken for by other people at cost going in.

    Sorry for the late post, but I was at the TRU @The Forum at 930 and no Rodimus... i was debating starting at San Pedro, but The Forum is closer to work.

    I asked one of the girls there if they got any in and she turned to one of the stockers and asked if all the action figures had been put out and he said yes... didnt bother looking in the system.... so if someone post that they scored @The Forum TRU, I deserve one of those Rodimus figs :D 

    Plus, I came late into work....

    Yeah, I'm pretty well jaded over customer service. I've asked for help at that Frisco TRU a few times and the punks behind the counter act more or less like they're too good to be bothered. Nine times out of ten, I WON'T EVER ask an employee for help looking for product. They usually don't know what they're doing or don't care to try. [shrugs shoulders] Just rely on yourself and your friends.

    Got my Rodimus this morning at the 1st Colony TRU. Two were behind the counter so I asked the guys there if there were more on the shelf before heading back there. One guy was there comparing the 2 remaining ones. He put one down and that's the one I took. If he hadn't put one down, I would have went straight back to the counter and demanded one of the ones there. After browsing for a bit and then going into the checkout, I overheard conversation that seems to suggest that the rest got picked up while I was wondering around. So pretty much if you want any chance at picking up a Rodimus, you need to be there at opening time or you're not going to have much luck.

    Yes the Techridge Toys R Us in Austin off of Parmer had 2 MP Rodimus fiigures. I got there at 10:04 and there was a guy there that had both of them in his hands looking at them. I stood there waiting to see if he was going to put one down and he looked over at me like he was wondering what I was doing. I said thats what I want just waiting to see if you are buying both of them. He then handed me one of the Rodimus figures and I proceeded to checkout. If it was someone here on the borad thanks again! That made my day!

    I got my 2 Rodimus's from there around 11. They had quite a bit there. I picked up 2, there were 6 being held behind the counter and 2 on the shelf and apparently a few people had been there at the opening of the store and took at least 4. I nearly took a 3rd one for trading fodder but decided to leave the 2 on the shelf.

    That TRU received more than just 4 and they still sold out by 2pm.

    Arlington TRU did not get more today. They say Irving is the only one that might have them in Metroplex.

    Loser hoarder? You seem pretty judgemental for someone crying on the internet about not getting a new toy. Maybe if you put the effort into actually going to the store this wouldn't be such a problem for you.
