I saw them a lot. They were stacked in the aisles every time I walked into a TRU.

I'm pretty sure this will be about as rare as Generations Unicron, but I'm pre-ordering any way. I'm not into hunting any more and wasting 10-20 dollars worth of gas. Pre-ordering with free shipping is better than going to the store.

And MP10 wasn't even that big. I hope we can avoid comparing any desirable figure and availability to MP10, but it seems like what is happening.

metroplex is 2 feet tall unicron is a baby comparied to him... as for bikes they are high margin idems and get more room.... transformers are low margin and will not get the shelf space.. also im sure tru have learned and will not carry hardly anyafter their first shipment and leave it for thier online sales where they will make some extra cash on shipping and will not have to drop the price.... I work at futureshop and know how stock this big works,, again hope im wrong but im sure with this over 2 feet box im going to be right... good news is that thier will be lots online...

You have to look at ''Additional Info'' for the real story:

Shippable to Quebec:yes
Batteries:2 AA batteries are required (not included)
Language :Bilingual
Product Weight:1.2 lbs
Product Dimensions: (in inches)24 x 14.4 x 5.9

I still think that this may be the neutered sound chip version (Again, I hope I'm wrong). Still keeping my Amazon pre-order at 109$ with free shipping. This is the only official Hasbro TF that I've been looking forward to all year, so I'm not taking any risks

TRU carries the big Star Wars items every year (Millenium Falcon, AT-AT, etc). They also have huge True Heroes vehicles and playsets (the gunship for example). Not to mention pretend kitchens, treehouses, etc. I'm sure they will find a place for little Metroplex on their shelves.

Also, they won't make an extra penny with shipping selling him online as he qualifies for free shipping (any order over 99$). So it they actually make less on him from online orders...

I'm not doubting your knowledge of Future Shop operating procedures, but I think TRU does not share the same merchandising approach given the nature of their products.

what's with sound chip?? What risk are u talking about?

[Masta_Skidz]

Metroplex is not an exclusive to TRU so it will be available and with the price of 129.99 I don't think to many parents will be buying them also this does not fall under the popularity as say MP OP or MP SW I would say to keep an eye out for MP02 at that mutha is going to be next to impossible for us to get I know personally I am going to get as many as I am allowed to get even if it is 1 per person I will get everyone I know to go with me so I can get more than 1 so I can help some people out, sorry for the rant it was just my 2 cents ( Where are my classics Rocksteady and Beebop the wait is killing me for these 2 almost worse than hasbro MP 02 Soundwave)

Rereading my post, I'm not really being clear, am I?

Here in Quebec, we usually get a ''bilingual'' sound chip in our toys, meaning sounds only or maybe the character's name, but not full english sentences.

The description on the TRU Metroplex page says ''bilingual'' and it is shippable to Quebec which usually means everything has been translated. If it were english only, TRU would not ship it to Quebec.

I want my Metroplex to have a full english sound chip with all the phrases, so I'm ordering from the US. I don't want to risk getting a bilingual version.

OB

PS: Sorry for not being clear in my previous posts. Being a collector in Quebec means dealing with this reality. I forget that not everyone has to

O I see. What does Metroplex says anyways? Is it very important? So what Metroplex says may effect the value of the figure or something?
