Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

TRU Brossard (South Shore of Montreal, Quebec) has received the Classics Legends of Cybertron figures. I'm dubbing these guys 'Classics of Cybertron.'

Aside from that, they also have the Marvel Legends Wave with Hercules and Planet Hulk, and a Wave of Ghost Rider Figures. Plus some new Star Wars Basic Titaniums - the TIE Interceptor and the B-Wing Fighter. I'm thinking of getting both.

So the cry babies over at TFW and Cybertron.ca were complaining that we were lying because there was no pictures taken of Grimlock, Mirage and Jetfire.

From my experience, the folks outside of toronto get figures before them.

What do you guys think? Should we have asked Dark Knight for pics before posting it as news or do you think we were still in the clear for posting it as news? I would really like your oppinions on this one for next time we trump them on news and they have to find a better excuse for not getting it first.

I think that it should be posted in the News, but make sure that you add something like "There are no photos, so take it with a grain of salt" or something like that. I believe Dark Knight, but having no photos in the News Story means that there is no hard evidence.

I personally don't care if there are pictures or not cause I don't think anybody would purposely lie. Maybe they might make a mistake on identifying a figure if they are not a big fan.

If you want to have credibility though, I think you should have pictures unless it is a trusted source.

Also, I feel Sunstar's pain because she DID post first.

No, we don't need proof from him. I also live in Mississauga and there's been many times that a tip from Dark Knight has lead me to picking up the latest Transformers.

In this case I didn't have a chance to go out this week, but in the past he's always been reliable.

I think the Walmart closest to him is close to the distribution centre and they tend to get things a week or so before they come to my part of Mississauga (south of there).

Also, I think a lot of us have been around this board long enough to trust in eachother...

Appreciate the support.

I would have taken a picture but I'm kind of lazy. Had I known the credibility of Seibertron.com was going to be questioned I would have gotten off my ass and taken a picture.

Like Down_Shift said. I think they were upset that they didn't find them first.

Comments on Grimlock, Jetfire, Mirage:

Grimlock - A great addition to my collection. IMO looks better in dino mode.

Jetfire - Currently in contention for being my favourite Classics figure.

Mirage - Complete dissapointment. Alt. mode is alright. Bot mode looks like a twig.

awwww
what
i thought i already made a forum for us canadians
i feel sadden that no one approached me

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
i'm just kidding

I agree, I don't see any reason for someone to lie about posting a new sighting. There are a few stores in Toronto that I can go to right now and buy Ramjet and Cliffjumper and post pics with a wal-mart recipt but that doesn't prove anything to me. We've posted news about Canadian sightings in the past and credability has never been brought into question before.

As for the new thread, it was nothing against Sunstar or Zed, but I was asked to lock the two and make a new one to maintain.

Your right I should have mentioned that there were no pics. I should have called the Wal-mart for a personal confimation as well. I have unlimited Long Distance so it wouldn't have been a big deal to me.

After Seibertron had a bit of a crash we last all sorts of old data so we had to start anew. Sorry bro, lots of happey memories in the old thread.

As for MP Starscream where abouts do you live? If your in Toronto, I always go to the snail. If you live close to Beastwarrior and The Touch then I hear Legends is good.

Toy Square in Makham is also a good place. Nice display window too.

I agree, I trust everyone here with the utmost respect.

I don't think anyone here expected a picture from you, I know I didn't. As for TFW, I say leave them to their own devices. I've talked to Collen many times and I know alot of other mods on the boards don't care much for him, but he takes alot of pride in Cybertron.ca. If it were easier to submit sightings to them I'm sure we'd all be able to help out more with Canadian sightings as a whole. I'm not in it for the competition, just to get the news out there.

Gotta say, I'm surprised you don't like Mirage. I like Jetfire alot, but I think I like Mirage better. Very poseable.

Found one Classics Jetfire at the Peterborough Wal-mart. I'm sure it's gone by now, but it's the thought that counts.

I spotted a Classics Jetfire at WalMart in Barrie this morning. So head to WalMart now if your looking for him.
