Masterpiece Optimus Prime Back in Stock at Toysrus.com

Bought! W00t!

Well, tonight has been an awesome evening. I got my shipping confirmation e-mail, and some other thing happened. Yay.

There is free shipping on orders of $49 or more so get to it.

You can find the listing here.

Just got mine on Saturday! My local Toys R Us still doesn't have them, but the one a little further away, second closest store, had Three when I paid a visit. so... YAY!!!

Sh*t as much as I want to place this order I just can't afford it right now. I'm just gonna have to keep on the hunt and hope it pays off and put it on layaway at a store.

Welp, looks like my preorder came through at the $99.99 price...can't go wrong there! It just took forever and a day! I guess I'll see which is the best of the two I ordered and take the other one to the local TRU for a refund. Best of luck people!

My preorder shipped late tonight! I just got the email about 30 minutes ago.

This has all been crazy but at least it was finally filled. I still can't believe they sent out the "delayed" email and I even called and they 1st rep I spoke to stated this was correct. Oh well, now I'll have 2 at the $99 price point. Guess I'll keep the one that appears to be in the best shape! As someone said earlier, thank goodness this is all over! Whew!

just got my email as well
we'll see what happens but I am really looking forward to getting this in!

This figure blew me away! It has really good detail, by my standards, just awesome. Fingers somewhat articulate, head looks amazing. Transformation is beyond cool. Will I get a second one? Oh yeah you bet I will. thank you Hasbro! Arigato Takara!

Just in case some of you want to know, my mom said a big box was received from toys r us today. I think that's it. Stopping by tomorrow to pick it up. Will update

The day of elections is the day Optimus was shipped. Smh, what a fiasco.

Thanks LOST Cybertronian for the update. Purchased immediately!!!

Off topic, but Hasbro should really fire the guy who poses and photographs their toys. The truck mode is mistransformed around the headlights, and bot mode's shoulder hinges are showing. Compared to Takara's promo pics, this is disgraceful.

Just checked my tracking number again and they must have sent these pre-orders next day delivery because mine shipped last night and is showing its scheduled for delivery today

Glad I got mine in store for the 99 price point in reality I got thundercracker and prime for 40 after I sold my taraka thundecracker for 160 on eBay

just got a email saying my pre order will be shipped.

Seems like most if not all of us who preordered have received our confirmation...the planets and the moons have aligned and the Gods are smiling upon us...balance has been restored to the force (until next year's figureI'd like to thank fellow seibertronians that have been glued to this thread since day one (yuo know who you are) for their support and providing helpful information to the rest of us as it developed...LET US REJOICE!!!

People who have received your actual, post-delay shipping confirmations, when was your order initially placed (date/time)?

I placed my order on 9/23. I checked and the email that I received from TRU.com confirming my order came at 10:52 am. However, I actually ordered it earlier than that because I actually came across it on their website a few minutes before it was posted on here. I received my shipment notification late last night at 12:33 am.

Ordered mine last night, now just waiting the "1-2 business days" for shipping,

BBTS has the MP Optimus Prime preoreder up for $139.99.

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS22303&mode=retail

The item has gone out of stock at TRU.com

Got my confirmation last night, my pre-ordered Optimus was waiting for me when I got home from work. After such a long wait they certainly fast tracked the shipping. Good luck to everyone else with pre-orders in, I hope TRU honors them all and that you all get next day shipping on them. One note for any MISB collectors, be warned, my box was pretty dinged and scuffed as they just dropped it in a large box with some TRU adverts and the packing slip and no additional packing material. When I picked it up it was flopping all around in the box. Fortunately the display box protects the contents very well and Prime and trailer checked out okay. I thought that was rather odd as all orders I have had from TRU in the past have been packed really securely, usually with air packs.
Lot of hassle, but totally worth it as this Optimus is fantastic and is my favorite piece in my entire collection already. Hats off to Hasbro for putting this guy out, just wish they would drop the exclusivity deal with TRU and roll with someone else in the future.
Also just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped keep us all informed of what was going on with your orders and contact with TRU reps. Thanks to everyone

Glad to see more MP Primes back.

Disappointed for the higher price.

Almost all of their stock photos are like that.

That's what I meant. Disgraceful compared to Takara's promo pics.

Got shipping confirmation email! EXCELSIOR! When that one arrives, I will absolutely be returning it to TRU in place of the one I found on shelf for $120. They ended up coming through in the end.

yes!!! just ordered 2 MP Optimus yesterday!!!

Nope. Mine didn't come yet. Checked the email again and it said ordered sent nov 6. I guess I'll wait a few more days.

by the old spark, mine was shipped yesterday , finally the long wait it's over (I bought it online on September 23rd).

TRU cancelled my Prime order from Sept. without notification, then by the time I got on TRU.com to order another -SOLD OUT. It's AK-47 time.





__________________________________Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssst kidding. Apparently I got the shipping notification Tues. night, but I didn't see it till now (4am PST 11/8). I had a really busy day & couldn't check my email til now. Server at my friend's house was down & when it was up I skimmed through my inbox I didn't see the shipping notice. Over dinner last nite, I told my friends of the horrendous situation too. Unbeknowst to me, the email was sitting in my inbox. This is the biggest relief of the year collecting wise for me. I hunted this in the wild for a week & half just for insurance. Glad I don't have to anymore. Good luck everyone who needs it. DON'T feed the scalpers.

Mines shipped yesterday =x =D

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I FINALLY GOT ONE WITHOUT HAVING TO GET INTO A FIST FIGHT AT TOYS R US to get the last one! Only thing, as of today,11-8-12, he is sold out

Finally got confirmation my preorder from 9/23 was shipped. I was getting nervous the past few weeks.

TRU Prime(or Octomus Prime, as my daughter calls him)has arrived from Toysrus.com preorder! ...and I am doing the Happy Dance

He just arrived via UPS Cant open him though as hes one of my sons major xmas presents, but I examined him best as possible without breaking the seals and he seems in great shape. Box is also in decent shape. Of note: Toys R Us does not use any sort of packing ...just tossed him into a larger box and that was it.

Still....Im thrilled to have him Hes gonna look titties next to Rodimus! Next up: Soundwave.

Just got mine in, faked the wife out by replacing it with Voyager classics OP in his place. I can wait a month for the trailer and roller.

Like, replacing it on the shelf, or making it look like Voyager OP was the recent order?

Making it look like he was the recent order. "Just got mine in" and the rest of my post would naturally indicate I ordered it and it wouldn't be opened for a month to get the rest. I could never do something like that and have the chance a unwitting parent or kid get it. Not if it was the only shot I had at getting it. That's lowdown and beneath degenerate.

Sorry, I meant replacing it on your shelf

Sorry, I meant replacing it on your shelf

Box was beat to hell, otherwise he arrived.

finally got mine, looks great
box was fine as well!

fordprefect294 wrote:Sorry, I meant replacing it on your shelf

My bad too, I thought you meant like one of those dirty toy repackager/returners. We have one here locally and he's a huge douche no one can stand. Smell (cat piss and B.O. ) and morals wise. Sorry as well.

Mine arrived today! He's fitting in well with all of his friends.

that's hilarious & awesome at the same time!!

I had wanted to post a Robot mode group pic last night, too, but I was convinced to leave my toys for the evening. So I make up for it this morning, by adding even more Primes!



With his somewhat smaller scale, he definitely lacks the shelf presence of the original Masterpiece Prime, but he more then makes up for it with an elegance that makes the original MP Prime just seem like a big, blocky, unrefined chunk of metal and plastic. (I shall have to remember that line when I get around to writing my review. Really need to finish Giant first, though!)

Well, now to wake she who did the aformentioned convincing last night, so we can be off to see Skyfall. Have a lovely day, folks!

Got mine yesterday! looks Awesome!!! =D

A billion respect points for including Choro-Q Prime. He is the business.

I'm glad I got mine when it was on sale at toys r us for 69.99

I thought I got a great deal for $80. Where could you possibly find him for $70? lol

Yeah - where's u find it for that price? and for $80??

Not sure about the $70, but the $80 came with a 20% off code/coupon!
