Generations Titan Class Metroplex Released at Canadian Retail
 
1 Attachment(s)
I feel sorry for all the TRU employees working customer service in the morning. Yet another highly anticipated piece has been spotted on Canadian shelves. Generations Titan Class Metroplex has been purchased at a Toys R Us in British Columbia.

Let us know when you find the newest Transformers in your area by posting in the Canadian Transformers Sightings Forum.

Do we have definite confirmation that TRU's Metroplexes have gimped electronics?

and for that matter, are the loose joints still an issue?

I thought somebody on here was telling us it would be an online exclusive only, because it was to big for the shelves lol.

It's not that the joints are loose per say, it's just that they could use a bit more spring tension. There's a tutorial on Youtube that shows how.

lol i knew there wasn't going to be any issue with metroplex being in the stores. even if they didn't have space on the shelf theres always storage space. how many dotm ultimate primes did you see in your local tru? thats a pretty big figure as well and i saw plenty. i think people were just scared not to be able to get one. also this isn't a tru exclusive, so means other places such as walmart or target might also carry them. having said that, i got mine early as well :P

Inside info from a tru employee means less then squat unless they work at head office or the warehouse.

I use to work at tru and they don't tell their employees shit or they tell them total bs. And managers know less then the floor employees and read my first part of this about how much they know ;)

Is Metroplex on for 25% off? Was that in BC last week tho? Anybody know the price? Wonder if it will be another MP SW fiasco.

W00T!! "Online only" from some "insider info"? Ha!

I slept on the recent sale before the link went down, hope another one pops up as Metro hits my local store shelves.

So is Metroplex a TRU exclusive or will he be showing up at other retailers as well?

Deception 08-30-2013 04:33 PM

Re: Generations Titan Class Metroplex Released at Canadian Retail

Re: Generations Titan Class Metroplex Released at Canadian Retail

Too big for shelves? Hahah. Just build/rebuild the display arrangement with the large box in mind. Done. :D

They can also display it in the hallway, too.

Hopefully this means my TRU pre-order will be shipped soon.

Too bad you'll still get charged that 40 cents.

Probably the same person who has been going around saying that "he knows" that the electronics have been neutered because "someone on the board" got one way ahead of everyone else and told him so, but he won't say who that "someone" is.

Because they're fictional and don't exist.

well I got my Metroplex from TRU (tri-lingual packaging) and after putting in the batteries all it does is make some crummy noises. No words at all.

Wow that's a major turn off for this toy.

Once again the whole country gets screwed by Quebec.

Well that kinda sucks. Not too much for me though since I likely would have taken the batteries out anyways. And I'm still not sure if I want this one or the Hong Kong version.

I really wanted the "Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime" sound. Of all the sounds and lights and gimmicks, that single phrase is all I would have been happy with.

no talk at all.

So glad I didn't preorder him now. Going to hunt down the US version I guess. Stalk Amazon.com around Christmas maybe.

shipping is the issue here....

Re: Generations Titan Class Metroplex Released at Canadian Retail
 
I wonder how hard it would be to replace the electronics with a really small and really cheap MP3 player. You could pop in all of the Metroplex soundbites from FoC in that case. Among other things.

I mean, the figure certainly is big enough.

If I open him up to tighten to joints, I might as well upgrade the sound.

If I manage the MP3 thing, I'll do my best to make a tutorial.

And the risk of taxes. I have some other stuff I need to get from BBTS in the coming months so maybe that's an option. If they are easy to find across the border I may do that.
