Seeking TRU Masterpice Grimlock - thelastallosaur - 01-05-2011 09:29 PM
Has anyone seen this guy at all recently?
There are none in my local TRU, I was basically wondering if anyone here knows where I could find one, and what sort of price he is now. I've scoured online for deals too, but can't find anything at the right price. Any help greatly appreciated.

It's going to be really difficult to get hold of one now. I rushed out and bought one after I heard he had been discontinued on the TRU computers. I still had to do a 30 mile round trip to Coventry to get the last one in my area. Since he has been discontinued he is now getting increasingly rare and eBay scalpers are now putting the price back up. On eBay you are probably looking at around £100 now.

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not looking for him sooner, but after what happened with Skywarp I figured I'd have more time and that the price could have gone down. I guess that's the risk you take, now I'm almost certainly going to end up paying above retail.

There are some still being reported in stores, but not many now. If I here of any I'll let you know!

Thanks. If I can't get one soon then I'll probably bite the bullet and buy one of the cheap ones from america on ebay. Cheap being entirely relative here, I'd obviously be far better off finding one here. I'll have to react quicker when we get Rodimus.

I ended up going for one on ebay. Luckily I won't have to pay for it, it's going to be a birthday present. And of course, they'll start cropping up everywhere now.

Ah they really that hard to find over here? There use to be loads and by loads I mean 25-50 in one of the two Toys R Us stores near me, the other one hasn't changed stock in 8 months.
I need to go back and see if they still have them then

Not seen one on the shelves for a while now.
It's a sad reality of price watching and waiting for it to (possibly) get cheaper that you may miss the boat. Glad I stumped up the money when I did now.

I had a look, he wasn't listed any more.
EDIT: Well, sh*t, he's been listed again. Now I'm really not happy after what I just paid for him on ebay.
