I was going to pass on Tankor because he look completely derpy, but I had a hunch when I saw a single peg of Gen figures priced at 14$ while the rest were at 17$. So once again, I took advantage of Quebec's pricing laws by scoring both figures at 4$ each!
In case you don't know the law, in Québec, if a scanned price don't match the one that is on the pegs, the article is free if it's value is less than 10$. Otherwise, it's the lowest price minus 10$. So, normally, it would be 17$+tx. Promised price was 14+tx. So, that's 14 - 10 = 4$+tx. Limit of one reduced price per UPC code. Because each TF have a single digit of code that differ, both were reduced!
Sure, our language laws can be annowing. However, that price law is BOSS and it was at my advantage many, many times.

As for the Law, it obviously don't count for misplaced products. The label MUST specifically say it for product X. By law, all price labels are thus identified. So, it can only work if the label ITSELF is wrong, no matter what the product under it is.
So far, the only store that have been bitchy about it is TrU. Still, when you are right, they have to give in or face some heavy consequences. That Law was put in place when it was no longer obligatory to put sticker prices on everything.

Thanks, it's a moment in my collecting life that I will never forget.
And Kanrabat, you were right. I just got this toy in today and it is a perfect example of a good wholesome transformer. I would have liked articulated wrists but the fact that the fists and the feet hide in plain sight (as the best transformers do) makes up for it. I dont know what to do with the stickers though.

For something so limited, it's not that expensive. I'm still thinking about buying one to have at least a G1 Megs mold.
I need to sell more stuff.

What to do with the stickers? How about sticking them to him, as the instructions say? BTW, The main symbol I applied to his chest is the one.
Sure, the stickers are tiny and there is so many, but be patient and get to work. In the end, it will be worthwile.
