Is Canada's TRU usually this absolutely godly? I might have to move there sometime in my future

Meanwhile in America TRU doesn't see anything wrong with asking $22.99 for Deluxe.

I'm pretty sure that's a price hike preceding a "sale" where they'll be like $13.99 and they can say they used to be $23.

Unfortunately, TRU has been charging around $20 for the deluxe/warrior class (both RID and CW) here and there, for about a year now. It's not all TRU, but it's pretty wide spread.

I visit 4 TRUs all about 1-2 hours apart spread across two different states and the prices are all over the place.

Fortunately, my local TRU keeps its prices for deluxes at $16.99, unfortunately it rarely has new stock.

Not always. But there is always a big space reserved to Transformers. And since last august, they also had a four side display/highlight shelf as well. So they are usually well stocked but its not always the latest wave (still no 2016 wave 2 deluxes in my area) and its not always these insane prices. Though Walmart prices are higher than TRU this year in Canada which is odd.

That price sounds nuts. Very sorry to hear about it.

Thats really odd to me. I mean they have an online site, I dont know why this prices dont match to it. Plus that would mean their central computer isnt lined up and that sounds like a nightmare when there is a sale in the flyer that is percentage based (because the central computer would issue new temporary price). Can you at least price check with walmart? That would remove any odd factor TRU has with its pricing.

We just got skylynx and only in a few places. he has yet to reach saturation in north america. New York still doesnt have him.

So here's a question.

Due to certain circumstances, it's turned out that I will likely have to get rid of two of my CW Deluxes. I'm definetely prioritizing my Blast Off, Brawl and Swindle for Onslaught to make a kind of Bruticus, but I'm struggling on what to keep out of the other three - First Aid, Rook and Alpha Bravo.
Rook I find the most fun and enjoyable, but he shares a mold with Swindle.
Alpha Bravo is a unique mold out of my little collection and he makes a decent replacement Vortex for now.
First Aid is undoubtebly my favourite and is a unique mold, but he fits in as a replacement Bruticus limb the least.
I'm keeping all their weapons so those won't come into it. What would you guys do?

Prioritize first aid. Its the best and most versatile mold If you like scrambling, its the only mold that makes as good an arm as a leg. And the robot and vehicle mode looks great too.

What he said.

I agree with N. It's distinct enough from Swindle to be worth keeping.

Death suggested the same thing for SkyLynx makes sense...

And why is it that at TRU Canada CW are super cheap, and in the US pricing are increasing (Deluxes started at $17, then $19, now are $22!!!) They are $15 at Wal-Mart, but the selection at most Wal-Mart's is pretty bad in my area.

Keep Rook. The answer is always Rook.

I cannot describe how happy I am that this exists.
