EDIT: Snapped a pic of him, but no idea if anyone else in the Great White North has posted anything yet

They are FINALLY in Quebec, Laval store.
However, that 90$ pricetag spoil the fun.

That's what kills me about the MP's and Platinum/Chinese New Year figs. The prices, even on clearance

When the price on these figs were good, they were forbidden in Quebec. Also, the scalper snatched them all up before they barely touched the shelves.

Now, TrU finally removed the pole from their asses and allowed a tri-lingual packaging, granting them access to the forbiden lands of Quebec. However, they saw that many morons were willing to pay scalper prices for these so they cut the middleman and they are "scalping" theses themselves.

Two RID Sideswipe and Jazz at the Trafalgar Walmart in Oakville.

Two sets of Wave 3 CW Deluxe and Voyager as well.

by the way guys I realized that going yo walmart with TRU's flyer wouldnt have worked either. TRU writes the discount only so at most, Walmart might match the discount but that still puts you at a disadvantage since it would be a discount on the walmart price which is higher than TRU's. I will just hold onto my TRU rainchecks then.

A lower price is a lower price. They matched it for me. TRU's price and the discount on top of it.

Oh really? Wow. Is tru's price on the flyer?

For the Voyagers yes, but not the rest. The TRU site prices reflect what the current sale/flyer price is, so I showed them the flyer and what the Deluxe's were on the site.

Thanks! I will give it a shot tomorrow!

Oh yeah, and the flyer does say $29.99 and under. But its best to use the flyer/website combo since Wallys base prices are higher to start with, otherwise you'll just get 20% off of their crap prices.

Ok wait a sec, just so things are clear. Did you go to walmart with the flyer and website and get Hotspot out of it for 22$?

Sure did. And my Deluxes for 14 sumthin.

I tried doing it for First Aid and Rook, but the lady at my Walmart said it had to be the exact figure, i.e. the ad I had to show would have had to be of Rook or First Aid, so they wouldn't give it to me for the TRU sale price

That's where it can get tricky. If the customer service is run by jerks, you'll have a hard time. I just make sure to have a proper comparison:

I go to Wal-Mart to buy CW Cyc/HS.
I go there with my TRU flyer and and site ready on my phone.
Cyc/HS aren't in the flyer, or the website, so I bring a third Voyager with me OP/Silverbolt whom ARE listed.
All three scan the same price and clearly look the same, so they usually agree and give me the matched sale price.

If you're adamant, you'll get your way

AHA! You bring the listed ones with you, thats smart. Too bad the deluxes arent listed. I think I will go by the customer service section first instead of doing it at the cash (if I find anything I like).

Having been on the receiving end of similar situations at my job, I do not want to pass the same animosity towards other cashiers. Besides, I could beat Walmart at CW deluxe prices any day, since they're $2 less at Toys R Us anyways at regular price. Just my store's stock isn't as good

Oh trust us, if TRU's stock was as good as Walmart's, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

It's been the opposite in my neck of the woods. Lots of everything up to wave 3 in the two TRU around my area. Walmarts have wave 3 CW & RID, but no leader anything.

Hey you know what is really tricky. I am printing some of them out and I realize that Walmart.ca and Toysrus.ca so not have 1 deluxe in common on their site. I am printing firefly and air raid, hopefully it will "fly" over their heads.

Oh well...

I printed all my stuff out today and was ready for anything with the walmart price check except for one thing: all the toys I want being sold out. I went to two walmarts and they no longer had any protectobots

Oh well, will wait for them to show up at TRU. It took about a month last time from when the first wave 2 deluxes showed up. I can wait

Haven't seen these posted yet (I may be wrong) but I found the new RID Mini-cons, 5 step Megatronus, and the new 3 step guys at my work tonight, so snapped pics (excuse the flashes)

So, the big 5 steps are TrU exclusives?
Man, sometime, I wonder if half the TF that exist are TrU exclusives. About time the packaging are now standard multi-lingual because I would have missed out on a sh|tload of stuff.

That is certainly what it's looking like now with a lot of them lol. If I weren't moving out shortly I'd have grabbed the Mini-cons, but, and I hate to say this as a TF Fan, rent needs to come first

One thing is missing from the pictures. The prices!

That is true! The guy putting them up didn't make the flags for prices. I was able to check the prices of the Mini-cons, $7.99 each. As for the others... I will try to scan them tomorrow for the prices, as they aren't even on the TRU Canada website yet
