Bowmac (Broadway) TRU restocked all Prime figures last night, but Bulkhead is already gone. If you get there quick you might be able to grab a Cliffjumper, there were 3 sighted most recently. Only 2 Arcees were spotted as well.

I don't suppose anyone's been to Ages Three and Up and found out whether or not they got Takara Wheeljack and Leadfoot, have they? I went down there on Monday, but didn't have time to do a thorough look.

I haven't been there in months unfortunately, and haven't seen any recent sightings posts.

I'll go there over the weekend and ask. If it's going to turn out ot be the only way I can get them, I'd better prepare.

On another topic, who's going to Fan Expo Vancouver? Their guest list's been updated recently, with several TF VA's attending.

Prime: RID figures found @ Haney Place Zellers. As usual, two Bumblebee's for every other guy. (Cliffjumper, Wheeljack and Soundwave.)

You guys enjoying your $25 Deluxes at Zellers? :HEADHURTS:

Yeah, lovin' it... And then they showed up at TRU and quickly disappeared. Zellers needs to get on this pricing issue or TRU needs to restock their damn toy section. They'll probably wait until AFTER the sale though. :roll:

Watch out if you find a Soundwave, mine came with a wrong part, the black pieces that connect the wings/arms to the fuselage/torso have two right sides. :BANG_HEAD: So I overpaid AND got a defective figure, yay... :roll:

My LCS is getting the Fall of Cybertron figures in this week, which means they're most likely hitting other LCS', along with general retail, in the near future.

Also, Ages Three and Up has a Japanese Deluxe Leadfoot, which is awesome…if you’re willing to shell out over $150 to get him.

I don't think I have a reaction image powerful enough for this reply.

What the hell...seriously? That's absolutely ridiculous. I hope they're prepared to have it on their shelf for a VERY long time.

I thought so, too. Then I thought about it, and realized that it's not that bad, considering...

1). It's a Japanese figure, and it was never going to be the $14.99 price that deluxe figures usually are.

2). It's also a rare figure, given that its American release got canned. So it'll be asking much more on the open market.

Due to those factors I could see 40, 60, or even $80, but that is just outrageous. The only way I could see that price as justifiable is if they bought it at a massively inflated price themselves.

A2U has some good stuff... that price is just a pure oddity.

Hmmmm wonder if one FE Prime can get RID Wave 2 -> 4 in the states ^^

They probably did. I didn't think to ask. Like I said, due to Hasbro's cancelling of the Dark of the Moon line, it, along with Wheeljack and Soundwave to a lesser extent, are likely to go for ludicrous prices on the secondary market, since the only way to get them would be through hobby stores like them.

:BOT: :CON:
Found a bunch of Generations Transformers at a Winners in Richmond Hill.
The figures I found were:
Thundercracker x2
Sergent Kup x1
Scourge x1
Wheeljack x3
Warpath x2 (Purchased)
Price: $7.99 each
I think that these will make interesting Customs.

I know I'm a little late to the discussion, but knowing that, when I paid twice as much to get them when they first came out makes me all kinds of sad.

Anyways, I was in Langley today and came across a little shop that a had a BUNCH of G1 stuff, boxed and unopened. Biggest shock: boxed PM Prime for $300.

Also, Wave 2 FOC figures are hitting my LCS next week. I've got one of each of the Combaticons on layaway. Can't wait to put that thing together. :grin:

So went to XSCargo and to my surprise they had Transformers Generations there. So I picked up Warpath, Seargent Kup & Wheeljack. They were $8.88 each!!!

Then went to my Walmart and picked up all 5 of the Fall of Cybertron Combaticons.0 Good Haul yesterday.

Has anyone on the island of Montreal seen the Combaticons wave at retail? There's been neither hide nor hair in my neck of the woods. I'm getting worried. :(

I wouldn't count on seeing them. The Generations line of figures has had the annoying habit of not showing up in retail.

Hey, Judge. South Shore of Montreal reporting in. I haven't seen anything past the Prime cartoon wave with Wheeljack and Cliffjumper. The only Generations I've seen have been the Prime, Jazz, and Shockwave figures. Looks like we're outta luck as usual.

At ver, very long last, wave moddafawking TWO of the TF Prime deluxes are in Canada!
At least, in Laval's Winners.

And they are at only 10$.

If you havent given up and bought them online already, now is your chance.
At long last, I have Dead End! Now, if only Ratchet would just show himself already...

Québec have now almost ALL of the TF Prime figures in store! (Plus other)

So far, my TrU is at last up to date in the TF Prime department. It took more than a year, but we can finally buy in store the Prime deluxes that have been eluding us for so long.

I've seen Deluxe Ratchet, Kup, Airachnid, Hotshot, Stealth Bee, and Dead End.
Also, Voyager Thundertron and Ultra Magnus. Voyager Skyquake and Deluxe Rumble are still MIA.

On a side note, we are still stuck at wave one of the FOC deluxes, but Voyager Grimlock and Blaster are here as well as his cassettes.

Finally, BH voager Shockwave came out.

Now that there is no more DotM stock clogging the shelves, we have a chance to see some new stuff at last.

Not sure if this counts as a 'sighting' per se, but TFSS Scourge arrived in my mail yesterday:
