so heads are buzzin around saying that generations GRIMLOCK should be hitting shelves this week so im just giving a heads up.

wait, arent the combaticons supposed to hit first?

im not sure but i work at the times square TRU and the whole store is buzzin with anticipation of grimlock and i work in the action section so me and my buddies are telling all managers to put some on hold for us. . . i mean like i said its all talk right now so i cant say for sure but i know the second wavy is hitting along with grimlock and too many people talking about it at once to just push it to the side

last week we had thundercracker on our system and not on the website which is strange and we had a steady supply of thundercracker for 4 days straight, now i checked the system and thundercracker is no longer on there and also still not on the website which again is strange especially since we had it on shelves for 69.99 and in system it showed regular retail price was 115.99

i've been searching the system for grimlock and nothing has come up but with the recent patterns i've seen i would be surprised if they are hitting shelves before they should be, another example the MU figured we have in as long as with the new vintage starwars figures are not in our systems but they are still on shelves and we have to put in the SKN# manually

so to see a few grimlocks on shelves now this week wouldn't come as a surprise to me at all

Does that mean this Wednesday? If so, I will be waiting for the store to open at 10 am. Is the store accepting preorders?

no pre-orders but i think if you call personal shopping they can hold them for you and if you've ever waited store to open then you should know we have out literally every day regulars who are there like clock work every single day lol

i cant say Wednesday for sure but i know i have my managers and supervisor on the lock out for me since i'm off from today till Friday so as soon as i get that call i will be posting updates

just a heads up we have shit loads of thundercrackers but we are limiting them to 2 per guest

Daaaaang! I never seen so much in one store. This TRU must be huge?

wellits the NYC Times Square store which is also the worlds largest toy store lol so yeah its huge

here are pics i took of the store empty this is just half of the second floor well the action section this doesnt include babies'r'us and the imaginerium or the girls section





and we have a ferris wheel

I've always wanted to go there. It's basically the replacement for that huge FAO Schwartz. It's not surprise they have a ton of TCrackers.

Gonna head there today first thing in the morning!

wel toys'r'us bought out FAO and KB toys along with a few other toy stores so you can pretty much say TRU is the only BIG chain toy store out there

not to mention that times square location makes FAO look like a closet compared in size and has been around for 10-11 years (not as long as FAO being the longest recorded toy store in history over 140 years)

my toys rus def sucks ass with their distribution and replenishment is horrible

Aw my local TRU. Wish they had some JP figures to go with that display....

WHOOP!!! Il be seeing you in 5weeks sir,me and the G/F are heading over from the UK from Oct28th to Nov 1st for my birthday+Halloween!!!

Man got wave 19 fuck yeah, but no bag head spider man.

We have twice as many Unicrons up here.

And to my surprise it was open already instead of at 10 they opened at 8. Time square different have a back room so if you something gotta get there early. The thunder cracker looks untouched.

i think i snatched up all the bag head spideys (7 in total) and ended up staying with only 3

lmao unicorns as in the mystical creatures?

awesome! well i work in the action section like the same section in those pics so ill be seeing you there!

I even spoke to the store manager (he knows I'm there every week) about all the things they are missing (Thundercracker, Transformer GDOs, I think there's supposed to be a Spider-Man 6" box set. . .and that they haven't had DKR Movie Masters for NINE straight weeks now). Still no change.

MP Optimus Prime up for Pre-order.

Transformers Masterpiece Action Figure - Optimus Prime - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

Should sell me one of the bag head!

Thanks for the Heads Up. Got my pre-order in. Glad I don't have to waste gas trying to track down MP Optimus Prime Ver 2.
