Yea you win on prices, I win on distribution. All stores near me are sh*t, except for one that every now and then gets something past wave 1 or movie, but only in really limited numbers, like maybe one case which is usually bought by me, at least the stuff I haven't imported yet.


So yea Kran, be thankful that you live relatively close to the US and can therefore import the stuff you want cheaper than the rest of us.


You live in Germany, right?

I used to live there for a while and THERE WHERE NO TF'S ANYWHERE. When I moved back to Holland and I was in Germany on vacation a while later I did find some alt. Ravages (the 2nd version) for 24,95 at the Globus. Pretty sweet find.

But yeah, German distribution blows.

Yup.

Yea, there was a time where the only TF you could find was Alt Ravage, literally.

Yet another instance where no one wants to be "as German as Dead Metal" :lol:

I'm pissed!!! Not just with my area, but with the entire country! Why is it that Canada has the TFP voyagers and the US doesn't!? Is it really that hard to distribute toys to a country right next to the one you're distributing to in the first place?

Wait... What?.. Where?.. HOW?!

Where the hell did you find Transformers Prime Voyager figures?

All the stores right now are still recovering from the holidays onslaught. The ailsles are empty from the various boxing day specials. What remain is just the overpriced old stock.

TrU had the lead in TF Prime figures but I only saw Deluxe BB and Screamers.

Walmart had the Lead in Generations figures, with Wheeljack, Kup, Thundercracker, and Warpath finally appearing.

Zellers have the lead in DotM figures with Airaid and Darksteel.

Is there a fifth player that I should know about? I'm in Québec BTW.

The Toys 'R' Us by me still has transformers animated, universe 2.0, and ROTF toys. If you want cybertron Ironhide, or ROTF Mudflap, I'm your hook up
