Big Transformers Sale at Toysrus Canada

So does this mean that they've cleverly rigged it so that the Combiner Wars deluxes are NOT included in this 'sale'? Not that I live in Canada, but TRU's prices on the CW deluxes are the reason why TRU is one of the only places where you can actually find them on the shelf.

In the US, one CW deluxe at TRU is $19.99. That's over $20 after taxes - for a deluxe! Small wonder people are shopping elsewhere.

Thanks to the sale, a promo code, and a $50 gift card, my Devastator came to $90.00 taxes in.

That's $15 Canadian for each Constrcticon!

Be sure to use the Promo Code CPLXBDAY10 at check out!

This more than makes up for the bad experience I had with the last one!

In canada, Toysrus has the cheapest prices for deluxes. Hence why they are lower than 19.99 (they are 13.64$ US) and thus not on sale.

US Toys R Us stores could learn a thing or two from their canadian counterparts then....

Not really. The only reason why they cost so low here is because of our exchange. They are 17.99$ cdn (which is 13.5$ US) but in canada, 1$ cdn will get you as much as 1$ US in the states. So prety much, in comparison to the economies, deluxes cost the same in Canada as the US. So technically, they are very cheap for you, but we dont realize it because our pay and our savings are worth less as well. However, Walmart is charging more than Toysrus right now and I hope your Walmarts dont get inspired too much.

Actual inventory:

They do have leaders, voyagers and legends though (nothing past wave 2 for the legends) but it was super surprising to me that there are no deluxes in the computer inventory for any store in quebec (as I was told).

I do think the protectobots have not reached saturation yet and will be back one day and I am certain we will see groove eventually. It took blackjack a loooooooooong time to come so I expect the same fro groove. Although I have totally given up hope on generations arcee ever showing up. It has been a year since released online.

So slow new day. The first Canadian Sighting of the new Robots in Disguise Roleplay Decepticon Hunter and Bumblebee blaster. At the Toys R Us in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.

Since when did Walmart price drop their RID warriors? They are 17.97$ now, 2$ less than what they started at:

Its the same in quebec too. What hapened is Hasbro has secific shelf space at Walmart and since the last week or 2, the new star wars toys came out and took over a lot of the shelf space. Its the new hot thing and there isnt anything new coming out for transformers aside from wave 4 of CW. Today they just had some minicons, a Mega Optimus and 1 Ultra Magnus and that was it. It being just 1 verticle column of pegs, you might hae missed it.

Check toysrus, they are moe dedicated to the TF brand and have a higher inentory per capita.

Since Target's tragic end in Canada, there has been a question of how Canada will be obtaining Target exclusive Transformers toys. We have already seen Walmart carrying the Platinum Coneheads G1 reissue and now it is Toysrus' turn to be carrying what is only found at Target in the US. Toysrus Canada now has the Robots in Disguise One Step Collection 6 pack with the exclusive Optimus figure that isn't sold outside of this set. This set is available online and in store. The listing itself still has an image of this box set with the Target logo found on the box.






The big Stomp and Chomp Robots in Disguise Grimlock redeco is also a Toysrus exclusive in Canada thanks to the new listing on their site.

Finally, Walmart has lowered its price on the Robots in Disguise Warrior Class figures. Walmart is usually below Toysrus' prices so it was odd that both stores were selling these toys at around 19.99$ cdn. Walmart has since dropped the price to the more customary 17.97. It is unknown when exactly the price drop occurred. Walmart's Combiner Wars Voyager and Deluxe figures are still above Toysrus' prices though, which is unprecedented.

I saw that exclusive one-steps 6-packs online yesterday. I didnt bother to report it because I didnt think it was important. However, since it's a Target Exclusive in the USA, it's great new for us cannucks. This way, we will not have to rely on scalpers for the most interesting exclusives. Especially since Hasbro finally have pulled it's head out of it's ass and provide multi-lingual packaging for EVERY TFs they release. Exclusives or not.

Combiner Wars Wave 4 Deluxe are out at Walmart and in big numbers. Every Walmart from Mississauga to Burlington has at least two or three cases on the pegs. Lots of Prowl, Sunstreaker, Mirage, & Ironhide at all locations.

What's interesting is that they are all packed with US Comics. It's not the first time this has happened with CW in Canada as Wave 2 was briefly available at Walmart with US Comics as well.

Enjoy the hunt!

The thing that is even more odd is that these packagings are in English only. I dunno about the other provinces, but these ones would never land on Quebec's pegs.

Yeah the news was more about how Canada was handling exclusivity rather than it being about the availability of that specific figure.

Glad to see the distribution being worked out between the retailers. I was quite pleased with my "Jolly Rancher" cyberverse Abominus that I got from the Ottawa target before it closed, and some of the Beast Hunters repaints looked cool but they were sold out when I had the money.

Now, if only the supply and demand for Combiner Wars could be worked out in my area (Ottawa-Carleton Place), haven't seen any deluxes since July. I had to get all my Wave 2 Stunticons online.

Lots of $16 Wave 4 Deluxe on the pegs as well as $20 Voyager Hotspot and Cyclonus at the Brant Walmart.

The TF space have NOTHING and have been totally overtaken by star Wars stuff at Laval's Walmart.

Same with every walmart I have been to in Montreal. The good news is that it is a canada wide rollback and the deluxes are priced the same online.

Voyagers are 20$ online but 35$ in store. Will they price-match the online prices? If yes, how to do it without an I-phone?

They dont price match with themselves, they call it an online price

Heads-up: The TRU in Brossard across from Panama terminus has a stack of CW Ultra Magnuses.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! Heading there monday, thanks for the heads up!

No problem! The vast amount of them were piled up on top the shelves, so look up, just in case!

I've seen Leader Starscream in a few Walmarts as well as Battle Core Optimus Prime. At least 2 of each at the Brant, Appleby, & Trafalgar Walmarts.

Do you know who else is in the leader wave with starscream?

I think it's just Starscream. There were a few Magnus as well but he's pretty common around here, so I don't think he's packed with Starscream. I could be wrong though.

Let's hope Leader Screamers will come to TrU soon. I have a raincheck to use!

-Kanrabat- wrote:Let's hope Leader Screamers will come to TrU soon. I have a raincheck to use!

Haha, I actually used that very same raincheck today for Magnus. Well worth the 41$ + tax.

Oh and look at what my TRU looks like today. Its like I stepped into a time machine and went back to a year ago where there were a bunch of movie deluxes and Rhinoxes as far as the eye could see:

If you have missed out on the mold, now's your chance to get a Doubledealer. It's a bad mold, IMO, but if you can get it on sale, he's worth it just for curiosity's sake.

Ugh. Hurry up TRU and just do fire sale already!

Wow, so I wasn't expecting this at all.

TRU Appleby in Burlington has the G1 Dinobot set with the G1 heads. I didn't grab the set because I left my wallet at home (like a dummy). I would have grabbed a pic but my phone was dead. Not a good Sunday with the exception of grabbing hella cheap pre-orders for Laserwave and Hotrod.

I'll swing by on my way home from work to grab a pic tomorrow.

Did you catch the price?

Also, as I predicted (sorry Kanrabat), Walmart has restocked the wave 3 combiner wars deluxes. They were all there many ties over. I guess this is the last big restock before wave 4 comes in.

Meh, I wasnt taking any chances. Beside, it may be the only Walmart in the whole province that have that restock and that stock may last for a day only.

It's a very nice looking set. But for $200 I'm hesitant. (Mind you I paid more for the SDCC set and it's not as nice as this)









This TRU (Appleby I'm Burlington) also had like 5 sets of Protectobots on the pegs. No wave 4, but there are plenty of $16 Wave 4 across the street at Walmart. Speaking of which...

Also, here's leader Starscream from the Walmart across the road.



I'd get the Dinobot set if my money wasn't allocated to TFcon next week. Ughhhhhh I still have so much work to do! :p

Down_Shift wrote:I'd get the Dinobot set if my money wasn't allocated to TFcon next week.

Next week. Holy smokes!

200$CAN for the set? Holy smokes.

Let see... at full regular price, it's 2 voyagers plus 3 deluxes. Meaning 30$*2 plus 20$*3, and let's say plus Quebec and Canadian taxes, meaning a grand total of... around 138$.

The special set is 230$ total.

MEANING ALMOST 100$ EXTRA JUST BECAUSE OF SPECIAL EDITION!

How about a big fat

Lookin forward to it.

Well I'm sure finds have been posted, but I came across our favorite back stabbing Decepticon today in Leader size. Only had the one though, and had no money, but he's priced at $59.99




Also, some TRU stores are still carrying Masterpiece Prowl, at a clearance price of $49.98

Well if you're ever in Ottawa, head to the Toys R Us on Innes Road in Orléans, they apparently had a lot recently. Think the one I picked up from my place was a return from that store, since he was tucked in behind a few MP Bluestreaks

Hey guys, I spotted Battle Core Optimus Prime in the ToysRus in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. I think this is the first Canadian sighting of him.

This is sort of old news, but I haven't seen anyone bring these Battle Changer 2-packs up anywhere. Plus I heard these things were asian exclusives which evidently they're not. At any rate we have them in the Stonebridge Walmart in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, and they're clearanced for $15.

If you're not already convinced they come with some extras

Masterpiece Starscream is now on shelves in Canada. BUT Scalpers already took him all down. I took a pic of it. It was quite heinous actually, I know the guy but he sent his elderly parents to take all six of them. I didnt know if I should tell the store manager and I dont think he'd care (he just sold all 6 fill price while I only bought one with a raincheck for 60$).





And I can confirm that the Platinum dinobots are now in quebec as well (they look beautiful by the way, definitely getting this when its on clearance, which it will be, guarantee).



Also, Walmart was covered with Generations Skywarp in insane quantities. I havent seen that toy there for a year.





Also, there is a toy warehouse sale near namur metro that has a bunch of toys that never went to the states (through standard distribution) so the Beast Hunters Commanders and the Kreons:

Let's hope there will be a massive amount of MP starscream produced, like Silverstreak. o that asshat scalper will be stuck with his inventory.

Also, I report that my Laval TrU have a restock of the last AoE deluxe wave. Full 17$ price.

RiD deluxes are on sale at 15$ (if I remember).

They also have plenty of voyager Skybite, Roadbuster, Rhinox, and Doubledealer on sale at 22$.

As for leaders, they have both Megatrons (mostly Armada, of course) and Ultra Magnus. On sale at 44$.

Other TFs are on sale as well.

Still no Leader Starscream. So I didnt buy anything. They do have the new Pnoy Mania dolls and ponies so I bought myself the exclusive Equestria Girls Queen Crysalis. Expensive at 30$ and I<m sure in a couple of months, there will ba a swarm of her at 15$. However, by buying her now, I was sure to not miss out so I regret NOTHING!

would you recomend G1 megs at that price? How is he as a toy compared to the leader magnus?

william-james88 wrote:would you recomend G1 megs at that price? How is he as a toy compared to the leader magnus?

GET BOTH!

Both have kick-ass altmodes, and fun and clever engeneering and transformation.

Also, G1 Megs with Reprolabels is SEXY as hell! As for magnus, sure the Hasbro version look a bit bland. However, if you don't wanna spend 80$ for the Takara, you cant go wrong with that one because it's the same toy.
