mojacko is right. I just saw 24 at my local Toys R Us today. I have been checking almost daily for about two weeks now to see them in the wild so to speak. Have faith, they will show up soon.

Seems like a major allocation of these went over to Canada. Cause, there are zero stock in California. And according to the clerks @ the toys r us that I go to, they have no idea when they will get more in. I did see two Generations Warpath, two thundercrackers, kup, scourge, and wheeljack today.

There's one non-TRU shop here selling it for $113CDN and I'm almost ready to bite but I'd rather save my $30-ish?... since I've already waited this long to get MP Rodimus anyway...

Sorry, I live in the Vancouver area in western Canada. Only as of this week did they show up in any numbers. Before that it was maybe two or four that would show up in the store. They would be gone before I even found out. Even I was surprised when they showed up a week after SDCC at my TRU. Grimlock took forever to show up and when he did it was very limited. I still wouldn't worry too much. They will arrive. Funny thing is, I still have yet to see thundercracker or kup up here in Canada.

Finally got mine today thanks to a Transformers Fan "sympathizer" who bought 2 and decided to seel 1 at my local kajiji for a reasonable $85CDN. ;D What make getting the Hasbro version of the MPs extra sweet is that its 1/2 the price of the Takara for essentially the same toy less all the QC of the 1st

Thanks Mike, since the takara release a while back I've been itching to get it......I just didn't think it was worth what they were charging....plus I don't really care for the trailer base. As far as MPs are concern i've officially sworn off the Takara version.....it would really have to be something special for Takara to pull me back from hasbro. I just wish I had gotten an extra Grimlock so I could've helped you out

Just came back from the TRU at Markville (Markham). I grabbed two cuz they had a buy one get one half off sale too. If there's still any local guys looking for one, I can split the cost with you. EDIT: My friend is taking the other one. But there are still a few left at the TRU in Markville.

I just picked up the last 2 on Victoria island in the Nanimo location. If anyone's on the island and needs one I'll gladly sell it!

Opened up and played with my TRU Rodimus and I must say its way better looking in person then it is looking at the pictures. The grey paint is pretty bad but it seems darker in most photos then it actually is. My Rodimus is fairly loosey goosey though, not as solid as the Takara version. In robot mode the chest does not lock into place at all.. now the takara version is pretty pathetic as well but this one is worse. Finally, the part of the chest piece that turns on that spring doesnt look flush when it robot mode which kinda looks stupid. This was my first attempt at transforming him as i was to scared to even try on the Takara version. Needless to say this guy is a royal pain in he butt first time round. I got rolling perfectly but I do have a few gaps around the arms. Over all i'm still happy with my 70 dollar purchase. Now I have one in car mode and the takara in all its sexyness posed in Hot Rod mode.
Now, I hope we get a TRU MP-10... cause I think im done forking out over 200 bucks for one of these just to have a 70 dollar one released and have all the QC issues addressed.
