probably just didn't bother updating the text.
It still said coming soon when it was in stock earlier

Re: Toys R Us Exclusive Masterpiece Optimus Prime Released At Retail

I placed my order yesterday. Wasn't surprised within hours it will be sold out. Last week when I shopping at my local TRU store I was looking for it which was sold out. But one of the associates check that their distribution centre had about 200 in stock. He told me to keep checking online until it showed up.

Re: Toys R Us Exclusive Masterpiece Optimus Prime Released At Retail

I was lucky enough to be able to pick one up in store last week. However, the box isn't in great shape. I'm hoping the one I ordered yesterday is better. When it arrives, I'll make a decision on which one to keep and either return the other or if someone here is interested they can pay me what I paid. I'm in the GTA so we can arrange local pickup if interested. I'm not looking to hoard and make a profit. Just hoping for a better box. I haven't opened it, it's still in the toys r us bag.

I have to order another one cause my box is not so good either. Should really make a complaint to head office about the lack of care during shipping of these items that they want to sell for $229.99 but don't care about the damn quality of the box...

Re: Toys R Us Exclusive Masterpiece Optimus Prime Released At Retail

Heck of a price. I figure the nuts jump is to keep his valuation high to match mp36's. I am not shocked his initial release has sold well. He is on the shelf here, as is MPM Bee, who is also almost sold out. If people see the value for money, then good on ya' for the purchase. YOTH was 159.99 here, and I thought that was nuts. MP is an expensive road. I have only ever handled the os wei jiang ko of this mold ( not mine but a friends). I was really excited but to be honest, the shoulder limits and arms transformation ruined the experience for me. I think I built it up too much in my head after all these years. I understand how many, many collectors will see this as value for money, but for me I wouldn't pay any more than 60 bucks for it. But that's just because I am not an MP guy. You work for your money. If you see the value, go for it and best of luck in obtaining him.

It's a crazy price for sure! I still have it in the wrap bag incase I change my mind. But I don't have an optimus and I figure if i'm getting one may aswell be this one.

Except there's no MP-36 sold by Hasbro or TRU?

Do you think Hasbro will have a North American release of MP-36?
