FYI According to my scan gauge the "idiot" light goes off on the 2011+ is at 130F.

Exactly and thank you. When I first acquired the vehicle the idiot temp is lit on. But recently this week when I start the car the idiot light takes 30 to 45 secs to go off. I called Toyota they said that is normal but I'm still skeptical about it. A buddy of mine drives a 2nd gen told me his idiot temp went off after 30 secs on start up.

That is normal. I'm sure up where you live is colder than Texas so yes it may take a bit longer for your light to go off. Only real way to tell is to hook up a OBD2 gauge and monitor it.
