Hasbro's TRU MP-10 Convoy.
Toys R US stores are the worst stores to have TF store
exclusives.because the average TRU store employee is a scalper & hides
stuff. TRU also never has sales on TF store exclusives,TRU stores get
much lower volume units of TF store exclusives compared to the
competitors like walmart & Target.
Toys R US stores have poorly trained upper management that don't
propely teach newer & mid level employees against being a scalper &
not hidding stuff in the back stock room. Most of the low to medium
managers encourage store employees to become scalpers.
TRU stores everywhere knows their are illegial hidden stock piles of
items that employees hide until pay day arrives. or hide stuff for
customers that bribe them & pay them a little extra on the side.
nothing is ever done about these illegial stock piles in the back
stock rooms. the employees doing it never get fired nor properly
reprimanded.
TRU lower & middle level managers encourage lower level employees to
hide stuff & become scalpers. because this is seen as justifiaction
for the TRU headquarters paying employees under minium wage.
the lower & middle managers are the worst offenders at hiding stuff in
the back & scalping stuff on ebay.
OTHER REASONS I HATE IT WHEN TRU STORES GET TF STORE EXCLUSIVES: TRU
stores never have a sale nor clearance TF store exclusives. if their
is a sale or clearance the price goes back up to normal after a while.
TRU stores are the only USA Retail stores that I know that have
temporary clearance sales with stuff getting raised back up to normal
after a while.
OTHER REASONS WHY TRU SUCKS AT BEING SELECTED TO SELL TF STORE
EXCLUSIVES. TRU headquarters is very racist. each store gets
diofferent volume units based off rascial profilling. everything gets
calculated on the race of the people in the area. the income wages of
the people in the area. the over all good,medium or ghetto area the
store is based in. the traffic the store gets. the money spent in the
store.
LAST FUCKING YEAR TRYING TO FIND A HASBRO TRU MP Rodimus was a royal
nightmare. thanks every TRU store getting different volume units of
the MP Rodimus. some TRU stores only got in 4 for the entire year/
shipment. other TRU stores got 8 for the entire shipment/year. other
TRU stores got 12 for the entire shipment/year. other TRU stores got
18 for the entire shipment/year. other stores got over 24 for the
entire shipmernt/year. TRU STORES DON'T FUCKING GET 2ND SHIPMENTS ONLY
ONE SHIPMENT & THAT'S IT.
Other reasons having TRU store exclusives SUCK. Because TRU stores
only have a few stores in the state. most TRU stores require a 30 plus
mile traveling distance one way & over 60 miles traveling distance
both ways. with gasoline prices around $4.00,most of the money gets
spent on gasoline fees. at the very least target & walmart stores are
more & are under 12 miles away which make them local stores.
LASTLY TO FURTHER ADD COAL TO THE FIRE. TRU stores have no nationwide
set release date when TF stores exclusives arrive. THIS IS WHERE
TARGET STORES REALLY SHINE. As target stores have a nationwide store
release date for TF store exclusives that the employees & shoppers
know about 4+months in advance. TRU stores for the most part get in
store exclusives when the huge trucks drive down from CA to NYC making
all the stops & pick ups in between.
I'm really hoping the TRU.com web site has a pre-order for Hasbro
MP-10 Optimus. cause I'll pre-order that thing ASAP. Because it's just
not worth dealing with the brick & mortar TRU stores garbage.
Hopefully the hugher $99 price tag for Hasbro TRU MP-10 optimus & huge
box makes this a awful item to try to scalp on ebay. buyers are
reluctant to buy really exspensive TF items. buyers don't like to pay
extremly high ebay scalper shipping fees.
SADLY TRU MP RODIMUS,Last year was a ebay scalpers dream. because the
toy was squeezed & jammed in a ultra sized box. the toy didn't have
the trailer so it was lighter. the toy was cheap & easily for scalpers
to flip for a profit. due to the small light toy,ebay scalpers were
able to charge low shipping fees but still make a dollar or two off
shipping fees

At first, I had just assumed this was a straight reissue of the

original Masterpiece Optimus, maybe with slightly different colors,
but now that I get a good look at photos, it looks like they've
changed him quite a bit. The pistons inside his elbows aren't visible
any longer and it looks like his wheels disappear inside of his lower
legs now. There are lots of little details that are different—a
smaller Autobot symbol, a different head sculpt, a different shape to
his windows and abdomen. I'm beginning to question whether this is
even related to the original Masterpiece toy; it's either extremely
heavily retooled, or it's just an entirely different toy.
The vehicle mode looks a lot different, too. The original toy really
didn't look that great in vehicle mode because of the recessed
headlight panels and the really obvious hinges everywhere. The new
version seems to have eliminated this completely. I can't even tell
how the toy transforms just by looking at it. All the telltale hinges
are gone. It looks really, really good.

Oh, right. Takara did scaled-down versions of Optimus and Megatron,

ostensibly to go along with all the smaller-scale Masterpiece toys.
So maybe it is worth buying after all. (I already have two Hasbro
versions of Masterpiece Optimus—the original and the anniversary
version in slightly different colors. I really wouldn't have needed a
third one.)

Next Masterpieces are supposed to be Sideswipe, Red Alert, and
Soundwave. So no need to buy that 3rd party Soundwave now.

successful.
Various on-line internet fans,Think this is a scam being run by
TFSource.
TFSource had a few creadit card breachers from hackers. the hackers
stole credit card info & charged like crazy on buyers accounts
This is just one of many TFSources desperate attempts to reel in new
customers. by PRETENDING to know advanced Takara MP TF toy info that
none of it's competitors nor news site know of yet nor can CONFIRM.
Thus far nobody knows what MP-13 will be. some say Shockwave,others
guess soundwave,others guess another car/bot
as far as MP-12A being Redalalert this hasn't been confirmed. I was
hoping the furst repaint using the MP-12 lambor mold would be
Sunstreaker.

smaller OP is a great toy, so hopefully it won't be too hard for folks
to get one at TRU. Hopefully.
