How does TRU still not understand why they need a "one per customer" policy?

The one here did when Soundwave came out last year. They were reluctant to sell me two when they first got them in until I explained I was buying one for myself and one for my disabled friend. I tried buying the other two they had for other board members but they wouldn't sell them to me.

I forgot the last time with soundwave and acid storm
do they leave it at the front door or is signature required?

puralator usually needs a sig and tru never uses any packing material they just throw the figure in a much larger box and say yup she is good

They had a lot more than 6 at one point, but TZ and I were told that the remainders couldn't be sold until the 27th or some bullshit, and they they were being kept in the back until then. I picked up a couple for us before that happened tho so we lucked out, and I guess so did others later on hah. Really hope the person who bought 5 isn't selling them online for mad profit, but its not like we're gonna get anywhere by abstractly yelling at them from behind a keyboard, so...

Mine has finally shipped this morning. First to order, last to ship, that makes no sense. What makes it better is I'm going on vacation tonight for a week.

Don't worry, I'm still waiting for any confirmation on my order, so.....

Just received Hasbro Grimmy, part of that Thorndale hoard.

The box artwork is nice, the red and white is nice like a reverse autobot symbol.
They used the pics of the original Hasbro Grimlock cause those paint apps are definitely missing.

The light grey body and green plastic is a little off-putting.
Knee joints are so stiff I'm afraid of snapping it off, hip joints could be tighter. Tail parts in the feet that swivel are super loose. Paint apps a little sloppy.
Dino mouth gimmick doesn't work very well.

Not trying to bash this but I kinda just get a cheap feel compared to the other MP's.

Having had the Takara version since it first came out this honestly feels like a KO version.

Finally received my Grimlock shipment this morning from Purolator. When I saw a big dent in the middle of the shipping box I was worried. Thank goodness both sides had big plastic bubble wraps protecting the box inside .

Got my Grimlock at Thronhill TRU today. There were 3 left still with damaged boxes. One of them had a hole ripped in the middle of the box.

Agree with how tight the knees are. Certainly wouldn't want to snap those joints.

this sucks, I guess im now glad I didn't sell my mp08 before the price dropped when the news came of this reissue.. so looks like the mp-08 will surely be going backup in price than. over all I will see need to buy mp-03 so if anyone has any minty mp03's with good boxes and will sell at retail cost pm me please and thankyou
