Have they done 'anything' even remotely like this in recent years? Most of the time what we get are some repackaged overstock guys or, if we're lucky, repaints.

I will be on the lookout for some Marvel Universe and even GI Joe stuff, though.

How's metroplex selling? I haven't seen it on the shelves of any place I go, so either it's selling very well or places like target never ordered any to begin with. If there's a big surplus of them sitting around, maybe they'll start unloading them for cheap around black friday. I'm kinda on the fence about picking one up, but if it drops below $100 I may consider it more.

It doesn't need to be in stores to determine if it's a decent seller or not. Various on-line sites have over ordered this item & it will sell enough volume units to deem it as a successful selling item in sales/volume units

Target.com,walmart.com,toys r us .com,HTS.com,Kmart.com,Amazon.com,etc.. are all selling Titan Metroplex on-line for around $124.99 with free shipping. why waste gas going to the stores when some sites are offering free shipping.

Dozens of fan "selling" sites are also selling Titan Metroplex,some are charging around $109.99.

Your not going to ever find Titan Metroplex at those USA Discount retail chains like Marshalls,TJMAXX,Ross,Ollies,etc,because this item takes up far too much shelf space & these stores have super small toy sections that can't dedicate the large space needed to sell this item.

I haven't seen Metroplex anywhere, not that I've browsed the Transformers section anywhere but Wal-Mart recently.
