Re: Generations Titan Class Metroplex Released at Canadian Retail

I just saw on Facebook that there is an upgrade set coming out for Metroplex. It has a new head and some sensor/radar dishes or missile pods..whatever they are plus gun turrets. Might be a good option for those that want chrome faces for their retail Metroplex if its a good price.

New Brunswick is another French Province and they don't care.

Here is how bad it really is in Quebec... when I worked for Best Buy, we threatened to close every Future Shop and every Best Buy store in Quebec because the Government was coming after us... the store names "Best Buy" and "Future Shop" were not in French, so the Government were going to go to court to force us to change it. Obviously we said no, seeing that is not the Company name... it was nasty.
New Brunswick is NOT a French province, NEVER say that again. Less than 25% of our population is French only and less than half speak it. We are the only province in the country that wastes money on a language that isn't needed.

New Brunswick is a French province (eyeroll)

That blows... So very glad i preordered at BBTS now. On that note its still available for preorder there for 109.99.

Even if after shipping and duty it costs a bit more it sounds like it would be worth it for the voice clips.

Re: Generations Titan Class Metroplex Released at Canadian Retail

I just noticed that Walmart in the US has Metroplex available on their website:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Transforme...igure/26999292
So that's one more place for people to look if they are wanting the US sound chip version.

No need to flip out, newbie. I was making a statement based off of previous experience with Best Buy. If the info is wrong, then I apologize for my repeating it, but it still stands that this major retailer sees NB as a French Province. Just saying.

With that out of the way, B&K Collectables has just received our shipment (10 cases) of Metroplex... I'm looking at them taking up a third of my living room right now. They are the bilingual box version and we do have them on our website, in case someone wants to get one now, but we will be bringing them with us to AFX too.
