Cybertron.ca member freakx2001 has reported finding last years SDCC exclusive Autobot Blaster figure at Home Sense/Winners stores in Ottawa. The incredible part is that the figure was priced at just $19.99.

We have to wonder if these will show up in the U.S. at discount retail as the same parent company that owns Home Sense/Winners also owns Marshalls/TJ Maxx here in the U.S.

You can always post your findings in our Sightings Forum to give your fellow collectors the heads up.

Very nice!
If somebody in Canada could hook me (in Europe) up with a SDCC Blaster for around this price (+ gas money) + shipping, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Will gladly pay a member for his time and whatever they thought reasonable for one of these. Was looking into buying one just not wanting to pay $100 shipped from BBTS.

Lucky Canadians, reminds me of when I managed to get SDCC 2008 Nemesis Prime in last year over here in Ireland for €20

Canadians always have the fun the States miss out on. 8-}

But at 20 bucks? Man, what a deal!

Isn't this the set where Ramhorn's feet are attached incorrectly?

Wow.... Gotta convince the wife....

Her- I thought you were only going to SDCC to get Ultimate OP?

Me- ummm..... yeah

Her- so..... why all the bags?

Me- oh these....I wouldn't worry about these lil guys... oh, whats that over there.

Wow...that's, amazing actually.
I have blaster, but, for 20 bucks, getting those 3 cassettes would be worth it.
Something strange is going on in the state of hasbro.

I actually saw this in a toysrus express a few months back I live in New York.

I'll pick up some for our fellow board members when I find some.

Good luck finding any of these though, Winners/Homesense stocks very little toys, if any. I'm guessing Hasbro had a few cases and they cleared them out. They've only been sighted in Ontario, I'm guessing they won't be seen farther than that.

...yeah, I checked my local stores yesterday and was disappointed.

if these do come to the US i know i wont be lucky enough to find one, Blaster is one of the G1 figures i really want but i always get screwed over when i try. Hell i wasnt able to find the RTS stuff that was showing up at discount stores.

And to think I almost bought this on eBay for close to 90 bucks. Glad I held off.

Love the pic. He's got 4 of them. LOL. You know what that means... $$$$ j/k good find!

Bro, I'm not the the only Canadian on this board lol.

But yeah, Winners has always been a gem for me. Got Leader DD Brawl there once for a steal of a price. Hopefully they stock these and some other goodies..

Can anybody hook me up with one?

Awww, WTF. I paid $50 for mine from HTS.com last year!

But, I do still hope I find one at a TJMaxx, then I can open him!

News Credits: 8 · by **LiKwid** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 7:31 pm

While this is great news for fans who don't have one yet, it's bull**** for those of us who stayed up late to order one off of HTS after the con... if these somehow find there way to the states I'll snag a few but man , talk about messed up... :BOOM:

What the...

Aww man now I've gotta go winners hunting and I was just at one today though they didn't have anything transformer related other then star wars transformers. I still kick myself for missing the ROTF prime and Jetfire for $60 together at Winners. T_T

Nice! I missed this one last year, I hope they'll make their way down to Cambridge!

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 5:44 pm

I REALLY don't think these are going to show up in any significant numbers, so don't get your hopes up, people. Winners has very limited stock and selection for toys.
