We can also report that Toys R Us has not one, but two Masterpiece Transformers on the shelves this week! In addition to the Generation 1 styled Masterpiece Optimus Prime, we can now report that the Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee has hit stores. This awesome Masterpiece figure recreates the look of the 2007 Movie Bumblebee design as a high-end Masterpiece figure, the first in a series of Movie Masterpieces which are coming out over the next few months. Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee was spotted in the Clinton MD Toys R Us by TFW2005 member JdotMtron.
Not sure if this figure is for you? Check out TFW2005 admin Tony Bacala’s awesome album of this figure for a nice detailed look at this figure.

I asked in a Minnesota TRU today and she said it wasn't coming up on their Web site or in their computer. I'm wondering if I'll have to get this online…
Prime135
One of which will be mine
Thanks for that!

I was just at the TRU near astrodome in Houston looking for mpm-4. Didn't find any but saw 3 mpm-3 on the shelves. I didn't get one as I already have the takara.

I might try and check on mine, then. But seeing as how my TRU isn't getting MP-10 and didn't get the Chaos on Velocitron set, mine's probably the only one that won't.

BTW, I had a chance to look through the computer the other day, and these things are ALL OVER Texas! Of all the states, they seem to have the most stores that have them in stock. If you're still after one of these and you're near a store in Texas, hit it up.

Nothing found in Algonquin, Gurnee, Highland Park, or Vernon Hills in Illinois. Not even a spot on the shelf for them, so it can't be scalpers getting to them first. Oh well, I'll check back next week.

Anyone notice that the Battle Mask is super difficult to get out? I've pulled too hard and it has popped out twice.

No, not on display & that was the crazy thing the system didn't show a street date, but something that indicated they were supposed to be put in some hold bin.

Wonder if this street date thing means we won't see them online until later in the year…
BWfan86
That sucks- were they on display? What street date did they quote?
Gatchaman
TRU in Greensboro is saying they are street dated and can't sell to me, but they didn't tell me that before I drove an hour and spent an hour there and so because of that the manager sold it to me. What an ordeal lol

eBay is slowly getting littered with MPM-3 listings w/ TRU foil stickers on them. The hunt is on soon
Prime135
They are, it's a computer error
Retroheavy
I guess I don't understand why they are not supposed to have this figure out on the shelves until November in the US if they have them in stock…
Prime135
Yeah, that was my bad. I've since posted the correct number. They're both under code names so it's hard to tell. I am fairly certain bee's is 032434 at this point though, as I don't think my DC has 120 barricade's on order.
eltonlin98
Huh, interesting! Because I had the dude at the store pull the number up on the scanner, and Bumblebee showed up, albeit pending. I could have gotten the item name wrong from memory though.
Also, I have to confess, I got 032366 from one of your posts in the MPM-3 thread. I appreciate the correction, and will take the time to contact some people I've accidentally misinformed
Prime135
That's the one for barricade
Bee's is 032434
