I'M ANGRY! SO ANGRY!

...Figuratively speaking, of course.

I'm Canadian. Québécois to be exact. And I don't know why, but all the stores EXCLUSIVES just stay in the USA.

At TrU, there's NO MP Rodimus, NO scan series, NO blind-bag Ponies gift set.
We don't have Target over here. I heard Zellers is the equivalent. Still, NO RotF repaints for the exclusive DotM set.

Amazon.com dont ship to Canada. I have to go to Amazon.ca AND STILL NO UNICRON.

Beside, even if collectors like to have a rare figure, it make the toys artificially rare and the scalpers take them all anyway. So I have no choices, but to pay inflated prices on Ebay.

Jeez, I had to buy MP Rodimus for 90$ with shipping. That's 20$ extra if I could have bought it locally. As for the Scan Series, I have to pay DOUBLE the regular price if I count shipping. And don't get me starter on that goddamn Unicron.


The new MP-10 Optimus Prime is coming out. Of course, it the super über expensive Trailer Edition from Japan. Hasbro WILL release it relatively soon. Mark my words, it will again be a damn (that store) EXCLUSIVE and non-Americans will never EVER be hable to buy it locally at a reasonable price.

At least, DotM Deluxe Optimus Prime is aplenty at my local Walmart and I did saw MP Skywarp too when I wasn't collecting. (Missed him...) If MP-10 come over here as a damn exclusive, make it Walmart's. At least, THEY make an effort to have them in Canada.

So, any non-Americans out there who find the Exclusives totally UNFAIR?
Jeez, I bet even some Americans feel the same way....

Amazon will ship Unicron to select countries. Burn got his shipped to Australia for $10 so they will probably ship to Canada. However, it is believed that Unicron will be coming to Costco in Canada.

There is also good news on the Target front. They are going to convert many Zellers into Targets soon. Although it sucks to have to pay so much for MP Rodimus and the scan series.

It's just your location. TRU exclusives still make it here, so do Target exclusives under the Zellers banner.

Probably a bad time to mention that TRU Australia had Rodimus and the scan series ...

And LC said, I did get Unicron sent out (and I still can't believe it only cost me $10 and arrived in two weeks) but that's because we don't have a dedicated Australian Amazon store (yet). Will Amazon US not ship to countries that have their own dedicated Amazone store?

I don't blame it on Canada. I blame it on you being a Quebecois.

The saddest thing is it's true. They are too lazy to put the required french translations so we get screwed...
But I really wonder why...

TO ANY AMERICANS OUT THERE: TAKE ONE OF YOUR AMERICAN BOX, LOOK AT THE BACK, AND SEEK OUT THE ®HASBRO. It was made in china, of course, but WHERE WAS THE TOY PACKAGED? Go on, I'll be waiting.

Prepare to shit bricks.

dude, you get stuck like that again, let me know
i've seen plenty of on shelf MPs to grab a spare
no need to bug out

I'm not really bothered by exclusives. Sometimes it's fun to get a toy that's not easy to get a hold of. The chase is better then the catch and so on.

Honestly it's the Japanese ones that irk me the most. I want most of them. Obtaining most of them is often difficult and I only have two kidneys.

You also have skin, blood and hair. You're a walking investment to yourself!
