What's your Black Friday TF stores exclusives wish list?

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

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.
