GOD I'M SO GELLY. No really, that is very awesome. I started collecting only at the last quarter of 2010 so I missed a lot. Just to make me cringe more, by the standards of your area, are they selling them at full retail prices, or is there some kind of sale going on?

On a side note, all the Zellers in the Montréal area still have a few "exclusive" ORANGE voyager The Fallen. As far that I remember until right now, they are still shelfwarming at a whopping CAN40$+15%TAXES each. I don't think they will ever go on sale. I found one with the box smashed up and asked the cashier if I could have some discount on it. She responded NO they will instead just send it up to the back for returning or something. They will keep them all... FOREVER!

For once, we Canadians (and even Québécois) got the big end of the stick. I blew all of my money on this, buying at a TrU way out of town, and it feel good:

Now, most Americans feel what I feel for all the figures they got while in Québec, we got nothing: Frustration and anger.

Let me put it this way, my tiny town's walmart still has the first wave of DOTM and has piles of Track Battle Roadbusters and both versions of DOTM Deluxe Prime.

I just checked my local TRU. It's still all DOTM: MechTech shit. I don't care for the DotM toys at all, or any of the Bayverse toys. I'm only concerned with primarily Prime toys. Thank god, I have the internet. As of right now, I currently own from the First Edition Prime toys: Arcee, Starscream, Bee, Cliffjumper, Voyager! Bulkhead, SDCC! Prime, NYCC! set, and Voyager! Prime is on his way as well. I have an inside source up in Canada that has been importing the toys for me. I'm still debating about purchasing the Prime! Entertainment pack on ebay, since it looks like the America's will never see that one.

Man, I understand having pride in you nation and your heritage, but the French Language laws you guys up in Quebec seem a little past the point of restrictive. It's no wonder you're paying something like 20% more per figure.

I feel for you, no doubt, although I'm insanely jealous of that great big pile of FE figures you have there. I managed to get FE Bee, Arcee and Starscream, but I gave up on the Voyagers and Cliffjumper (and that sucks, because Cliffjumper is my favorite character and that Voyager Bulkhead is awesome).

As far as distribution around here in Ohio goes, TRU seems to be one of the fastest, along with Target, but our Walmarts are horribly slow. I'm still seeing nothing but DotM figures, with lots of the aformentioned Track Battle RB and Deluxe Primes. Nothing else except a few left over Generations Red Alerts and Wheeljacks with the occational Kup.

I do have a couple of giant weekend flea markets near me that I haven't been to since I started collecting again, but I'm almost positive I'll end up paying higher than normal prices there (though not having to pay shipping can make up the difference). I'm sure they'll have mostly older stuff though.
