Generations Titan Metroplex Now Arriving at Costco for $79.99

I called two stores in IL the other day. One told me October 2 and the other October 3. Guess I have to send the wife out on a hunt tomorrow. =)

sheeeesh. If anything, maybe it will drive down prices. Wish we had them at Sam's Club here.

Costco membership: I need it.

Way better than the 150 dollars amazon is asking for crossing my fingers for christmas

Now Sam's Club, I have. Maybe if you and I do some sort of ritual and obligatory sacrifice, the Hasbro Gods will answer our prayers and ship Metroplex there for the same price.

I went by a local Costco today but no luck. Later I gotta go out and there will be another location that I know of so I will have to take a look.

Anyone going out to get a membership?

Wish I actually needed another one...I like when my plastic crack is on sale...

I saw a pallet of them at my Costco today and having paid $50 more for it was this but then after I realized that the sucker would be $110+tax with membership and I only would save around $21 and some change I was like this and cool with it.

Well, a friend's girlfriend who happened to have a Costco membership was how I finally got the vhtf Cybertron Wing Saber, so I'll just have to ask if she still holds the keys to the city!

Remember the days when CostCo would carry some exclusive variant?

There are no Costco stores in my city (probably not even in my state).

You could always ask someone near a Costco to go buy it then ship it to you!

I'm actually kind of glad they didn't in this case. This year's been expensive as any I can remember.

Not that it wouldn't have been cool to have a Costco shiny/clear/blue variant or something, just saying my wallet is happy about it.

oh my gawd. costco is right by me and i have amembership. i couldnt justify paying 151 for it at toys r us...but for 79...ahhhhh!!!

Man! How much is a membership at Costco?

thats what the normal price should be not the discount. and why does costco always get the good stuff, i dont think sams club has gotten one good TF deal yet. But even if there was a costco near me i wouldnt bother, after the problems with MP Soundwave im staying away from big figures unless its a really really good deal.

Checked the store in Bolingbrook, IL and struck out. The guy looked it up on the computer and didn't show any coming in (yet the other day when I called they told me Tuesday or Wednesday) now he says a couple of weeks.

He did look at other stores and nothing for Naperville, Oak Brook or Orland Park IL but if you live near Fort Wayne or Lexington, go hit Costco because they showed 72 on hand.

If anyone is in or around Ohio and can help me get with one, please let me know.

Metroplex quite honestly is only worth 80 bucks. I way over paid at 160 at TRU. Plus mine doesn't even have all the sound bites he's supposed to have. No voice just transformation sounds. He is a cool figure though and 80 bucks is the perfect price. I should have waited but Canadian Costco is a whole different beast than the American one. There's no guarantee you'll see him up here in a costco.

I went to another Costco and this time spoke to someone at the service desk. I gave the SKU that was posted but no listing. After that I gave an item description and it was found along with a different SKU...994294. I also was told that the L.A. region is expected to receive just over 1,000 pieces and that includes Orange County. Whether that's right or wrong unknown but that's what I was told.

I for one have always enjoyed the hunt for TFs so for me it's a challenge I dig so I'll continue my Costco searches.

Excellent. I already have a shopping trip to Costco planned for this weekend.

IOWA here... Nothing at the Coralville Costco. Headed to DesMoines this weekend. I picked up the ToysRus but thankfully have not opened it yet. $80!!! I'm all over this.

After reading this post on Monday afternoon the next morning I was all over it. I placed phone calls to the two nearest Costco locations in my area in Vista and Carlsbad CA. Vista was a no go but Carlsbad had 34 in stock. 33 after I left this afternoon. This one will be for display while my SDCC one will stay sealed.

Well, thank you. I was was headed to Coralville tomoro. Trip saved to costco

Well I was holding off on Metroplex thinking that he would probably go on sale or clearance somewhere ... but at $80 I really can't pass it up. Looks like I will be sending out the "please look out for this on your next Costco trip" email shortly.

Called my Costco in NY and they mentioned 37 in stock so I picked up 5. Hooray.

Just saw whole bunch at my local Costco in Austin, Tx

I'd have liked Metrotitan too or one of the other Titans depicted in recent comics. Your wallet is a jerk though and deserves a good flogging. He got off lucky this time. This time. I'm down for one even though I've got SDCC and I'm fairly certain I'm buying the Takara version as well. I might just have something wrong with me.

I can't help but agree. Darn thing has a mind of it's own. Sometimes.

Just purchased a boxed unopened SDCC Metroplex and can't wait for it to get here. Every time I see Metroplex now I can't help but think about plex smashing Megatron into the ground over and over again in FOC .... epic!

Update: After buying This retail version of Metroplex at Costco and realizing how awesome just the box art is I decided the price was just to good to pass up getting another that can be opened for display. This way I can be sure to keep at least one more of the retail ones MISB along with my SDCC version.

Alrighty then so I'm posting here and over in the Sightings Forum that Titan Metroplex has hit the Orange County area in Fountain Valley. I work on weekends and I called the Tustin store and they showed FV got their first shipment in. I took my lunch N tore down there, got in got out paying a satisfying price of $86.39 after tax. So if you're in the OC Fountain Valley area and need Metroplex get there while they last

Everywhere should have these by now. Iowas had them for 2 weeks.

Nothing here in Raleigh yet. If you call the store all you have to do is ask "do ya'll have that big Transformer thing yet?" and they'll tell you yay or nay. Apparently a ton of people have called them
