Reports are starting to float in regarding what will be a very popular Generation 1 reissue: Platinum Edition Trypticon! Thanks to TFW2005 boards vproject and Michael Maghirang on Facebook, we’ve learned Trypticon has been released in The Philippines at Toys ‘R Us.
No word yet on when this reissue will be seen at North American retail, but this is a good sign for the figure itself. As a reminder, for US residents this figure will be a Target exclusive, so keep your eyes peeled while your out on your toy hunts.
Happy hunting TFW!

Wow, really surprised by how packed those shelves are- especially with older stuff

You should go around Manila.I managed to find lots of old Transformers you could collect here.BTW That's a smaller amount of Transformers in a shelf compared to others in the country

Seeing shelves lined with Transformers like that gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling.

Now that definitely brings about some nostalgia. I remember TRU and the local toy shop being fully stocked like that back in the late 80s. And Trypticon was there at that time too.

No kidding. And you can tell scalping is at a minimum by how far back the figures go.

It's around 9k Phil peso. Almost around 200 USD.

Holy shit you guys still have GDO on the shelves…most 2012 stock nowadays is hard to come by.

So beautiful…. and Trypticon is awesome to. Did anybody get price information? I'd really like to know how on the mark the $200 price is.
I do echo the sentiments of others in this thread. Pretty much anytime I go in a store around here, and look in the TF section, it brings tears to my eyes in a bad way.

I knew they had to be relatively close to being released since there are a ton from China on Ebay.

Omg that brings tears to my eyes.I've not seen a TF shelf that full and beautiful since I was a little girl getting my Metroplex at Zayers department store.Thanks for sharing!

Are we sure this picture is recent? I swear, I remember Children's Palace/Toys'rus stores looked like this from 1983 until the 90's.

Holy shit….That shelf….is so beautiful…..:')….
See?! Look at that Variety! Why do the US Stores have to be so horribly managed.
And Look at that organization….That display is absolutely magnificent!

Wow. That shelf brings a tear to my eye. I guess it's "old" stock mostly, but I am in awe at seeing so much TF product in one store (and bonus: it's not 99% Optimus and BB! ).
I hope Targets here (USA) get Trypticon soon, but I doubt they'll show in stores (too big a box?). It'd be nice to get some sort of discount on the beast, as $200 is just too much for my budget.

I do not agree. In our Russian stores, no MP or TF platinum toys. Something happened in the hypermarket "Auchan". But now, this is not visible.
