Lansdowne TRU in Richmond still has 4 or 5 Animated Voyager Bulkheads. Sadly the rest are all sold out. I would've bought a Starscream for sure if they had any.

Sadly Bulkhead was noted as going to be the shelf warmer in this Wave. Why did Hasbro put two of him and only one of Starscream and Megatron. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING 8-}

Ages 3 and up and TRU @ Metrotown still have lots of Wave 1 deluxes. I'm assuming wave 1 is just Lockdown, Bumblebee, Prowl and Cybertron OP. Correct?

TRU also had 1 bulkhead which I picked up. I guess I missed the other Wave 1 voyagers. Is it just Megatron and Starscream?

Any word on when the Megs and OP 2pack comes out? Or even just voyager OP?

... and also lockdown and prowl are a few bucks cheaper at A3&U than at TRU but bumblebee was a little more.

Yes. And they still had a lot of them there today when I went down to pick up the Movie Thundercracker they had.

Super_Megatron of TFW was kind enough to pick me up a B.A. and Ratchet from TRU.

I have some very good news for those of you going to TFCon... but I can't tell you!

Trust me, if you go you won't have to do any hunting for a while

Not to mention all the stuff from Botcon will be shown as well!

I hope the TF Animated two pack with OP and Megs is there. That would make my day :grin:

Ok, so I'll tell you guys what I know.

From what I've been told the Slideshow they showed Botcon attendees will be shown along with the figures that were shown in the cases as well (Universe waves 1-3 or so I take it and the Animated stuff)

Now, as far as I'm aware, Hasbro will also be selling Universe figures there as well. That may not mean anything by that time because I fully expect Universe to be out any time now.

A source very close to Hasbro confirmed that they have Wave 1 at the warehouse waiting to ship.

I hope this tweeks you all enough to come out and play.

Seems like Salvage and Stealth Bumblebee have hit TRU stores in Toronto.

*SHHHHH!!!* You're not supposed to tell anyone! :lol:

I'll be trying my luck too. Though I'll call before I go so I don't waste my time.

The TRU beside Square one had about 20 or so of each Voyager and lots of Deluxe figures, Ratchet and BA as well.

After watching the latest ep of Animated, I feel stupid for buying Prowl without the sidecar.

Sounds great Down_Shift. I'll be there. I'm gonna try and get my pre-registration in first thing tomorrow.

Unfortunately, all I can find is Prowl and Lockdown. No Blackarachnia or Ratchet.

As of closing time last night, after I was there, Ages Three and Up at Metrotown Mall should have had 1 Animated Starscream, 5 or so Megatrons, and a whole bunch of Bulkheads, not to mention a whole bunch of all the Wave 1 deluxes. The Voyagers are a tad pricy at $34.99 but oh well, I got my Starscream anyway. I'll support my local businesses.

There's also a nice bunch of stuff in the loose case, including the Crystal Galaxy Force Convoy set with the Coby Ramble. They won't separate the set though.

Which Megatron's does A3AU have? The Cybertron one or the Earth one?

TRU Eglinton has tonnes of the Blackarachnia and Ratchet from Wave 1.5 as well as the other 4 from Wave 1.

It's the Cybertron one. And I can report that it looks like all the Starscreams are gone, as I grabbed him and Bulky last night.

Reminder that A3AU's sale starts tomorrow til Sunday, 20% almost everything at the Metrotown and the new Oakridge store.

Also word from Spenser is that that Ratchet and Black Arachnia should be in stock next week.

Elfsar in Yaletown has some voyager and deluxe premium movie tfs.

I could see 1 of Ironhide, Blackout, Bumblebee, Jazz, Barricade. There might have been more.

I'm hoping one of the Vancouver members can help me out. I ordered the Takara Classic Megatron for Ages Three and Up back in March. It hasn't arrived yet and all the Classics say "in transit" beside them. My problem is that I've sent a few emails in the last 2 weeks asking for an update on when they expect to get them and I haven't gotten a response yet.

Basically, if someone is already going to be going there. Could you do me a favour and ask what the status with the Takara Classics are? Whatever answer you get, just send me a PM.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

They might have more stock in the back, sometimes they do. And yes, it is of course the Cybertron Megatron, the Leader one doesn't come out for another couple waves and A3U only has wave 1 figs so far. I'll have to stop buy and see what they have for the sale, I'll probably only get a comic though.

DK, sorry to hear you are still waiting for your Megs, but it is strange that you haven't heard anything.

Over the last few weeks Spence and Johnny have been really preoccupied by preping the opening of their Oakridge store and may have glossed over your e-mails.

Hopefully you should hear from them soon as things should calm down after this week-end. I will be heading in early next week, if you still haven't heard anything by then, send me a PM with your personal information and i'll see if I can get you a reply.

I've got some news, I know the owner & staff a little. Yes, they are very busy with opening the new store, so that's likely why they haven't answered yet.

As for the status of your items, I have some Henkeis on Preorder too (for even longer), and mine has not arrived yet either. I do know why though, they have a very unreliable supplier in Japan, which delays their stock and doesn't give any straight answers about the status. In the near future they are switching suppliers, because the same thing happened with MP-05. They received very limited stock a few weeks ago and filled some of the preorders in the order they were placed, which is why I got my Henkei Convoy already. I've been told by the store manager that the rest of the stock has in fact arrived just recently, but they haven't been able to ship yet because of the opening of the new store. So they should be shipping within the next couple of weeks, rest assured.

I was going to PM you this but figured other people may want to know as well.

And Editor, do I know you? :-?
