Year Of The Horse Masterpiece Optimus Prime To Be Released As a US Toys 'R Us Exclusi

[pside9]

I remember when TRU.ca prematurely had the pre-order up for YOTH Prime way back when Acid Storm was added on.
I'm sure we'll have that option again.

I'm just wondering if I should get MP10B (Nemesis) from Takara instead.

Regardless, all I can say is for a period for around a month every time I walked in to a TRU there were Soundwaves and Acid Storms on display. So either they weren't selling super fast or they had plenty of stock. I cancelled my pre-order from TRU.ca because I was able to pick up Soundwave and Acid storm in store. Then again maybe I was at the center of a perfect storm where I was constantly hitting the TRU at almost the exact time they put out the Masterpiece figures.

Because you are at BC. I never saw one single Soundwave in ToyRus around Toronto. I'm glad there was still option to order online.

Clusterfuck spotted on the horizon, Captain!!!

A lot of us (collectors) will be zeroing in on Blingy Prime for his clear trailer so our MP10Bs will have some thing cool to haul. I forsee a crapload of trailerless YOTH Primes flooding the secondary market after the dust in the aisles clear. I do hope distribution is better this time around but a possible outcome is it'll be a shelfwarmer on account that no one really gives a shit about it beyond us.

Exactly. I must have gone to 5 different TRU in Ontario and they were all dry. One manager told me they have them but will not release them due to all the chaos. They were in his office he said so no staff could buy them. It was a huge cluster f@ck right from the get go.

This is possible. TRU UK already has a place holder for YOTH Prime on their website here so I assume Canada should follow suit soon.

Don't bet on it the U.K. as well as aussi get tfs and we never see 'em, we seem to be a black hole when it comes to hasbro filling shelves here,.. really don't understand it you think they would like to sell there product make $$$,.. we seen only to get it after everyone else (exception being prime first ed) ...states already are recieveing the newist generations beast wars etc where are they here? prime again will be a shortfall here (if we see it at all just like the rest of the current MP line)and after last years out cry for the mp10 did hasbro listen is my question? the title of this post suggests that they are deaf to us Canadians.
