hey Kirby, were the Dirges the ones with the incorrect wing logos? Metropolis TRU had 1 missing the crest elements, grabbed it pretty fast.

I think one for the lot of us is good, personally. There are maybe two of us posting per province...

Agreed. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of up here.

Editor, unfortunately I wasn't paying attention because I wasn't interested in picking up a Dirge, but there were at least 3 or 4, so maybe there's a chance of a good one.

The sad fact is that with things here, anything released to retail anywhere is an indication of availability soon elsewhere. so 1 thread is fine.

Sigh, if only that were true for my immediate area . That point aside, I agree with the others. I just don't think there's enough of us posting to warrant multiple threads.

HEY GUYS!!!

Well, I just got a new job and just wanted to share that with you all.

Anyone in the Greater Toronto looking for a new or used car you can find me at Islington Chrysler.

Specials:

Come to me for any new or used vehicle purchase and I will personally package in a free voyage class fig or any figure from walmart's or TRU's stock.

Cheers,
mesh

pm me if you have any questions.

Anyone in the Vancouver area looking for Generations Blurr should go to Metro TRU, apparently they have 26.

Also, RTS wave 2 and new PCCs are starting to show up at Walmarts. Unfortunately they seem to have skipped RTS wave 1 everywhere.

Sorry to double post, but if anyone's hesitating on picking up that figure you only sorta want, now is a good time to go for it. All non-clearance TFs at Toys R Us are 25% off except for Deluxes, while non-clearance Deluxes are $9.99.

I can also confirm there are a bunch of Blurr & Dirge at Bowmac (Broadway) TRU, and there was 1 RTS Strafe this morning. Unfortunately there was nothing else really new, but the last couple waves of Generations were still in supply.

I got lucky and found a Reissue Insecticons set that must've got left somewhere months ago.

Hooo boy.

Busy week, or I would've posted sooner. Last weekend the LaSalle TRU had a bunch of Reveal The Shields. There were 2 Perceptors, 2 G2 OPs, 1 Wreck-Gar. I picked up a Perceptor and the Wreck-Gar. Someone was looking around at the same time as me, and we talked a bit. He liked Wreck-Gar, and since I've got my United version on the way - only buying the Generations version as you can have one ride the other - I figured I could wait until he becomes more widely available, and gave it to him. I am either a good Samaritan, or insane. Prolly both. Le Coin De Jouet in Angrignon had Jazz and Tracks, but at the ludicrous price of 24.99.

Went back to the TRU today though, and all the RTSs were gone. Newest stuff there is Dirge, Blurr, WFC Cliffjumper, etc. There was one Rodimus/Cyclonus box.

And oddity of oddities - the Angrigon Zellers had an old, beaten up, familiar looking box containing a perfectly fine Universe Silverbolt, who I missed a few years back. Yoink!

People are buying up Wreck-Gars in multiples here, which is why I haven't seen any.

I hear Windchargers are still popping up in Canada. If any of you spot an extra, please help a fellow Seibertronian out.
Cheers!

Will do!

BC Sightings - Wreck-Gar & Perceptor Wave is finally starting to show up at TRUs, the latest at Bowmac, and the Jazz & Tracks wave was spotted once at Grandview Walmart, but that is the first sighting for that waves at regular retail.

I too would like this very much!

I haven't seen a Windcharger since I got mine over a month ago, but I'll keep an eye out.

Meanwhile, there's now an abundance of RTS & Generations deluxes at Walmarts in the Vancouver area, although people are hoarding Wreck-Gars and Jazz is still proving hard to find. However if you're looking for any of the rest, including Tracks, you should hopefully be able to find them. Both waves of the G1 Legends are available too, as well as the Battle in Space set.

TRUs are a little more behind on the RTS/Generations front, or if they get new stock it sells out very quickly. No point in checking Zellers, unless you want the latest PCCs, but good luck finding the 2-packs.

I haven't seen any Windcharger, Jazz, or Wheeljack figures in the Montreal area yet.

I should've clarified, Kup/Wheeljack waves have not been sighted yet in BC either.

Oh crap, Kup is in the wave with Jazz and 'Jack? There goes my investment portfolio!

RTS & Generations is confusing, I wish they'd just lumped them together in one line. :p

Jazz & Tracks come first. Although for some weird reason, they released the Wreck-Gar/Perceptor wave first here, but we have both waves in limited quantities now. Blurr/Dirge/Red Alert/Thunderwing/Skullgrin wave and anything older is in abundance. Next comes Kup & Scourge with Cliffjumper & Thunderwing, then Kup, Scourge, Thundercracker & Wheeljack, and finally, those four again along with Warpath. Which I doubt we'll ever see.

Am I really the only one annoyed about that?

For me, it was a bit different. My LCS got Wave 2 RTS (Perceptor, Wreck-Gar, LR Prime and Bee), then got Wave 1 RTS (Jazz, Tracks, Mindset, Fallback). He only got the RTS Voyagers about two weeks ago. The latest Generations wave he got was Wave 5 back in January. Haven't heard or seen anything about new Generations or RTS coming in.

Seeing as how it's the same five or six guys who post in this thread, I think a single thread would be OK.

Seeing sporadic Tracks and Wreck-Gars since I last posted. Have not found more than one Jazz which I nabbed for myself.

Legends Action Figures had Warpath, Thundercracker, Scourge, Kup, and Wheeljack in last weekend (and I'm guessing ToysOnFire did too, but I never have time to go there anymore). They are probably gone by now, but it's a sign for Montrealers to start peeling their eyeballs at their stores of choice.

Judge!! Hey man, how're you doing? It's been a while! My eyes widened when I read "Legends Action Figures" and "Toys On Fire." Then I recognized the username! Were you at the Comiccon on Sunday? There were vendors there selling Wheeljack and Kup for $20. Jazz was $25 and I didn't ask about Thundercracker and Tracks...

Legends' website lists Wheeljack as "pre-order" for $18.99, I think. Which isn't bad since retail would be $17.99, if you could find them at retail.

Brossard TRU's Wall of Deluxes is getting bare, but there's nothing new yet. Still some Red Alerts and that yellow jet with backwards wings if anyone wants them.

On the whole okay, but man, I have been dealing with so much crap it'd make one's head spin. I'm in the middle of moving, so every single one of my action figures, TFs and Joes alike, are packed in boxes (which are all around the house), and anything I buy now is going to have to wait until I get ahold of a decent place to get properly unpackaged. I almost moved into a real crap-hole, but cancelled at the last minute when I saw it was worse than I thought...so the boxes stick around for a while longer.

Didn't get to hit the comic-con; going to be saving up for September's, as I'm going to have too many autographs to nab..not to mention saving up for the waves of Mortal Kombat figures coming out later in the year (a series which matches TF for my love). My wallet hurts.

Went back to Legends today. 1 Kup, 1 Wheeljack, 2 Thundercrackers, a bunch o' Warpaths, and I think 2 Scourges remain...all in the 23-25 price range. I'm holding out until I start seeing these guys pop up at proper retail, like usual. Except Wheeljack, who I got a month ago from BBTS and only packed away under great duress.

I'm HOPING they hit retail!

The Universe Ratchet, Hot Shot, and the other end-of-line figures, I've only seen at specialty stores. I held a Smokescreen in my hands but I decided to get some Star Trek figures instead since I needed them for a comic I was working on. Never saw The 'Screen again. And don't get me started on the sought-after good-luck-finding-them Universe Legends!

I don't think the movie-style Lockdown and his wavemate(s) hit retail, either. I haven't seen Tracks, Thundercracker, Jazz, Kup, Scourge, or Wheeljack yet and stores are already putting out the new movie stuff. I have a real bad feeling about this...

I just picked up DOTM deluxe Ratchet and Crankcase. Saw Voyager Ironhide and Optimus as well but passed on them. This was down at Southgate Mall in Edmonton.

I have Tracks, Jazz, Wheeljack and Kup. And I've seen Thundercracker. Haven't seen Scourge yet. He's the last one I'm looking for.

Speaking of the movie figures, has anyone in the lower mainland been out yet and found them?
