Well Blackjack has been released at TRU. I didnt see him, but I did see his wave 2 mate Huffer. I guess someone took Blackjack the moment he showed up.

Interesting, for a while, TRU had nothing but wave 1 and 2 combiner wars and now it is JUST wave 3 for deluxes. They also finally got Hotspot so I used by rainheck and got him for 22$

And it looks like AOE is finally not getting restocked

Well, should be going to Walmart tomorrow so who knows maybe he'll be there. hopefully...

Happy with my Protectobot grabs, First Aid has a loose leg but nothing that stops him from standing on his own, I just wish he had something other than that axe, itjust seems off to me. Rook is simply a badass, love the wrist mounts so he can have "superfist" action. I see no regrets if I leave the rest of the team on the shelf.

Looks like my TRU had gotten Cyclonus and Hot Spot recently, and of course Hot Spot went PDQ, and I didn't even see Huffer come through my store either, since it's been nothing but Wave 1 since they were released all those months ago. No other Legends other than the RID ones have I seen at my place of work:P

I am happy with my Protectobots though, but my girlfriend needs to open her First Aid to see if he has issues too, then Cyclonus hijacks the four of them and gets his combiner form xD

Where?

I need Black Jack and Groove. So far, both are rather elusive.

I bought it off this scalper on kijiji : http://www.kijiji.ca/v-jouets-jeux/ville-de-montreal/transformers-blackjack/1086313447?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Just kidding. I found him at TRU on decarie, montreal. I was actually going to see if those clash redecos were there to see if I could do what you did with the price shown. But when I arrived, they had the 21.99$ labels so ...oh well. But I took the time to look and found blackjack, so not all was wasted. And Groove has been spotted at Walmarts in Quebec for a while now.

I liiiiiiiiive! Been on the holiday, and the GF is happy that Blackjack has been spotted (about time), so I guess if we stop anywhere on the trip back home, we'll look o:

So Trozok, did you get him?

Man, toysrus shelves have changed significantly:

Also went to winners/ TJ Max and saw that they had rescue bot toys. That Optimus was only 29.99 cdn.

Well Devastator is on the shelves here in Ontario. Found him this morning at the Walmart on Trafalgar Rd in Oakville for the insane price of $189.97 + tax.

I'm pretty sure he was less on line but I didn't care to check. I didn't buy it because I bought my Takara one a few weeks ago (for around the same price to be honest).

I didn't take any pictures either, left my phone in the car. If it's still there on my way home from work I'll snap a few for the haters.

Yeah, he was cheaper online, this is really odd: http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-devastator-figure-set/6000193258501

And why the haters?

There is always someone who thinks that someone would lie about a sighting in the sightings thread. If it's someone new, sure I get it. Gotta prove yourself and a fwe pictures go a long way... but if it's someone who has been on the site for an extended period of time, has the previous news credits, and a high post count then they should be given a little credit. (some of us are even retired staff and created this very thread!)

It's not a dick waving competition. It's not who saw what first. It's a place to help others find what they are looking for. Some of us post just to give others a heads up and are trying to be helpful and it seems like some people just straight up hate that.

Those people are haters.

Took a few days after seeing your post, but yeah finally found him today, plus Viper so the girlfriend picked them up to help complete and spiffy up Menasor and Galvatronus

Went back today, Devastator still there. Price has been adjusted to $179.97 + tax.

I'm hearing a lot of chatter on Cybertron.ca that Devastator is showing up on TRU shelves as well.

That's cool, the TRU staff had told me he would be more of an online only thing. And good to know Walmart is keeping their word on the price.

Oh, that's good to know!

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for TrU to finally have all the protectobots online.

Just found Devastator at TRU whitby. Recognized the box by seeing into the shipping area saw the words Devastator on the side of the box and headed for the first TRU employee I could find. only saw one box of 2 asked for just the one. so there is still one there maybe.

Has anyone seen Viper around Ottawa? I want him something fierce but I really can't bring myself to pay 30$ for him on eBay :/ at this rate I just might though, looking pretty scarce so far!

I found one at the Walmart on Baseline and Clyde a few days ago, but they had only one. I'd have suggested maybe the Comic Book Shoppe on Bank Street since they had a lot the other month, but you'd be paying a bit more for him since they mark up the prices, but keep looking since he is out

Also, no sign of Devastator at my TRU yet

by **Decepticon619** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 8:55 am

I was just down at Bank on the weekend, they had Cyclonus but nothing else for wave 3, thanks though! I will have to check Walmart!

I've been to multiple TRU's and Walmarts in the past week and i've yet to see Blackjack, Viper or Devs.

I'm hoping it's a staggered release as the TRUs have received the newer RID "blue line" releases. Package art looks great but the actual figures just don't do it for me.

That said I got my Adventures TAVVS-03 Strongarm vs ShadowJaw and Legends LG-EX G2 Black Convoy to tide me over. A3U should still have them both in stock.

I tapped and bought a retail Devastator. I had a $50 coupon at TRU so it only came to $165.00 Still a hard pill to swallow and I'm not 100% sure I like it yet.

Picked it up at the Oakville TRU
