Not the one near me. Sales on Transformers? Rare as all get out, at least sales worth mentioning. Usual "sales" at my TRU just marks prices down to Target or Walmart prices (which includes the buy one get one 50% off). So, really, sales don't exist. At least at my TRU.
Obviously that excludes the outdated "get them off our shelves NOW" toys (like the ROTF guys), but they're shelf warmers and no one gives a darn (they've seriously been there at their discounted price since DOTM came out and there's still a large pile). But sales on other figures... not so much.
My TRU just might suck at the deals thing :/

Nope. He's still an Amazon.com exclusive in the US. When an exclusive is released at a chain that has stores outside of the US, that release is limited to the US branch, but it may be released at a different chain entirely internationally.
And what does CND 80,00 translate to in USD?

Approximately $80, give or take a few bucks... $76, currently.

Damn! Still better than a prospected Euro price I suppose.

Not true. We never got half of the waves that you guys got down south. I never saw Wheeljack, Kup, Scourge, Thundercracker on sale here in Toronto, and I luckily picked up the only Jazz, Tracks and Wreck Gar I saw at Walmart one fateful day. Sure we're thrown the odd bone, but trust me, you guys have it good.Mindmaster wrote:-sigh- Like I've said many times, Canadians always gets the good stuff.

yeah my TRU is very great with the prices. and they have every new figure that would come out.
and as for the shelf warmers i think it is the store ordering too much of that product.
cause voyager prime i see everywhere, but the deluxe exlusive for walmart IS OVER STOCKED and piling up in large bins.
the store that sucks for me is Kmart. they still have a leader megatron from ROTF for FULL PRICE!!!!

They could still show up at discount chains. Winners, London Drugs, and some grocery stores have all been getting the first RTS waves recently.

They never list toys right away on the website. IF they do at all, it's always quite awhile after they show up in stores. I don't think MP Rodimus was listed on the site at all, but I could be wrong.
