Thanks for the heads-up on the platinum set. I never found a FOC Grimlock, so I was after this set. I got the last one from the shipping box they had behind the counter. Looks like it held only 2, so hopefully they have more boxes around for folks that are after it too.
Yo Botch, thanks for the heads up. Zipped over to Airport Target after work and I picked up the Megatron. Didn't actually want him but after getting him he's pretty cool. Surprisingly complex for a deluxe. Also, got one of the Series 7 Halo Mega Bloks figures I wanted.
I was wondering how BBTS got the Hasbro TRU exclusives, so pretty much scalping them in a sense, and they do have MP TC, SW and AS on there site to purchase just marked up as high as you could if you were to get it from Ebay. But yeah, it's either get it easily Takara online easy style and pay a lil more for them or Hasbro TRU style and hope to get it at a reasonable retail price but stress on hopes of getting them. Always happy to help a boardie Hopefully we can meet up next time when I'm back in town. And yes SW is beaut! It's def a great set if you don't have either 1 of the 2 of the figures. I would love to get it as a display piece but I already suffered from picking up SDCC Bruticus as it is Yes Megs def looks cool and unique, I prefer him as a flight vehicle vs him being a tank of some sort... Regzero's display
I am glad to hear some people are finding their TFs. I am still on the lookout for a MP Soundwave from TRU, so if anyone finds one, I will certainly take it off their hands (+$10 or somesuch for your trouble) no problem.
I keep checking TRU 1-2 times a week and will pick up any SW I see for boardies. I still haven't personally seen them in stores. Only online.
According to store pickup option online Jantzen Beach TRU has both platinum things in stock. Tigard has only grimlock and bruticus.
Im going to buy that set online, but im waiting for a 15 or 20 percent off code. If anyone has one from a previous purchase or add they dont want, I would take it off your hands
My thoughts on the MP cars: I don't care when they do it. I don't care who they do it through. I just want to KNOW they are going to release them at some point in the US at non-import prices. I would even settle for knowing they were in some kind of talks with retailers about carrying them here.
205 Target has the following: some of the Predacon Rising figures, Ultimate Optimus and Predaking, Impactor, Whirl, Twin Twist...and I think that's about it.
Platinum Ultra Magnus at Tigard TRU today. Nothing else of note other than a few older prime Figures (Vehicon and Knockout). They must have found an old box somewhere.
I would get this set on clearance which I'm hoping will happen down the road and I can see it happening too... Agreed!!!
Honestly right there with you guys. I might not get every MP but I might be more enticed to buy more if they would bring them over.
Hi guys. Just booked a trip to Portland 20th-25th of next month. Last time I was there I remember a vintage toy store downtown. Any other places I should Check out for fun robot adventures? May hit that Rose City comic-con thing too that weekend
There's one here across the street from this arcade place 4070 Cedar Hills Blvd Beaverton, OR 97005. But they have off hours, he's usually there at nights, prices are high but lot of cool stuff in there, I forgot what the store was called. There's also another in Milwaukie, OR that isn't too far close to this Things From Another World 10977 SE Main Street, Milwaukie, OR. The other board member's should be able to help me with the names of the stores I'm mentioning Other then that can't really think of anything else. Enjoy your time here, I know I'm missing the place right now.
I can tell you that the Collectors Mall in Milwaukie in Oregon is a bit hit and miss. It's like a big flea market so the stuff you'll find is going to be subject to whatever the vendors have on hand. Still worth a try! I grabbed a Minicon Dirt Digger Team from there!
The one on Cedar Hills in Beaverton is called Heroes and Hobbies if I remember right. I have not been there in years due to a few problems but I am not going to get into them. However, it is true that they have odd hours. There is a comic book shop down the street from it which called Things From Another World...they have several stores in the Portland area. The store that is downtown is called Billy Galaxy. I am thinking about going to the Rose City comic con. :-D
MP SW TRU.com go go go Transformers Masterpiece - Soundwave - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us It hasn't been in stock there in a couple of weeks. Hopefully stores will get another wave of stock as well.
How long did it last this time? Sold out now. Edit: Judging by Nutimus Primes's post in WA boards it was around 10:17.
