awesome :3 I can maybe grab it when I'm in classes again XD

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Does anyone here know then Skid number on this? I have a close friend who works at TRU and she told me with it, she can see if it is on or oder and a rough estimate of the date they will receive it. I could care less about when really, living in Quebec, I am MUCH more concerned with the IF

Agreed

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

exactly, too early

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

he will be mine...oh yes...he WILL be mine. I am going to have to pick up 2 of him. I hope we get him in the nearest TRU to me, that being the oakville one. late april early may you say...hope he comes in after the 80's show on april 23rd.
I was also saving up for TFcon...damn...not goingto have enough cash for all the things I want to pick up there.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Alright! Perfect timing! Marked on my calender! :cool: MP-Grimlock shall be mine!!! :D

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

:cool:

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Sweetnesssssss and perfect timing! This comes as most excellent news!

I already own the Takara, but my g/f's b-day is in May. Relevance? She has a thing for dinosaurs, so every time we make a bet she tries to pull a "If I win I get your MP Grimlock!" on me

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

That's a pretty kewl girlfriend you've got there.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Agreed.. This should come during Late June or Early July.. So it doesn't distract me from school >.<

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Sweet!

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Nice...and at that price point the scalpers won't be able to afford to buy them all...suckers!!!

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

XD tell me the date...we're finally meeting up then man XDDD

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

You got it, Mal! :D

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

I hope he comes out a little bit later..perhaps mid-May.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

I have a valid question actually...O_o why is early May an issue release wise?

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Yeah, what would it matter if it came out tomorrow? Unless everyone else here is living paycheck to paycheck

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

agreed man. but just for the record, I don't wanna offend anyone by asking; you get Grimlock when you want to as its your call, not mine.

XD if it were my call I'd say storm the Hasbro headquarters and leave our money in a jar outside the factory xD

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Was thinking the same thing myself, does it really matter when we're getting him, so long as we're getting him? :p

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

That's great timing! I have family going out to visit my sister in May! I may have this bad boy a lot sooner than I thought. :D

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

lol well in your case man, it does cuz I hafta know when so we can "bump into each other unexpectedly" XDDD

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

TF budget went down the drain, a few big purchases I HAVE to do soon, yadda yadda yadda. Hence, September.

However, given TRU's track record for exclusives, this one may sit around for a while....

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

lol I was about to say "why not wait till september anyway?" XD

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

LOL, well that's true. :D

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

That's a possibility, although I can't see this one warming the shelves as much as MP-Skywarp, but that is just my opinion.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

lol the reason skywarp warmed his shelf is cuz he was a repaint of the wal-mart exclusive starscream XD This is a whole new mold so it'll get eaten up X3

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

^^ Exactly! :)

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

\O/ I made a valid point! XD

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

I wonder if he'll be packaged in his bot mode or dino mode. The dino mode would definetaly catch the eyes of any kids passing by more that his robot mode would. I have a strong feeling that this guy will sell very, very fast regardless of price.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

if Hasbro is smart they WILL package Grimlock in dino mode; it's the mode most people remember him as.

same reason Preceptor and the Insecticons were packaged in vehicle mode. People recognised the modes man lol

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

I was told that there will only be 3003 alocated through out Canada (Toys r Us) in May and more to be released in a later date.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

^^ Well, fortunetly, I only need 1. :D :p

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

I'll go against the grain and say that I don't think he'll sell crazy fast. Fact of the matter is he's a $70 kids toy and collectors, I believe, make up a small % of toy buyers. As well, unlike Ultimate Bumblebee, Grimmy dosen't have a recent bazillion dollar blockbuster movie to drive sales.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

Yeah, 3003 Grimlocks between 65 stores... 46 per store. Try selling those.

Re: When to Expect Masterpiece Grimlock in Canada?
 

XD sadly I do agree with UM as well...it may be Grimlock, and all the collectors (and scalpers) will buy these out like mad, but if it's Mrs. Jones and Little Tommy coming to Toys R Us toi get a toy, they'd probably buy a ROTF Scout or Deluxe fig due to the price point

this IS the North American market after all; TFs on this side of the pond are considered more toys than collectibles and are thus sold as such.

(btw...DON'T BEAT ME FOR SAYING THAT >_< lol)
