I found voyager Optimus Prime and Predaking along side the wave one deluxes at my local Walmart in Milton Ontario.

I passed on all but Optimus. Everything else was of no interest to me. Best part, I got him on rollback at $15.00+tax!

Good news for our Canadian friends looking for new Transformers. We have recieved word from fellow Seibertronian Down_Shift that he found Transformers Prime Beast Hunters wave 1 deluxe and voyager figures at a walmart in Milton, Ontario. You can check out his newly purchased voyager Optimus Prime in the picture below.

Thanks for the quick post buddy!

I love this figure! Great step up from the previous Prime Voyagers and amazing to see that the goofy light up garbage is out the door.

Really can't wait for the show to tell us whether or not any of these upgrades will happen in the show itself.

Thanks for picking one up for me Down_Shift, that was awesome. This prime is awesomesauce. I don't care for his guns but his sword is F'N sweet, looks kinda like megatrons darkblade but green. Did anyone else get "grey" missiles or the green ones depicted in the pics?

i actually might get this one -i didn't like the light up prime very much -a friend has it but this one seems more like what i think prime should look like =i don't like the mouth but he is bulkier in the arms and his cheat is good =and it transforms into a flack fronted semi -not sure what you call them but it has more classic prime mode-plus it has a clear star saber which is a plus-pitty its green not blue but small issue-also i like swords its under used in transformers -we see those arm blades but those are more knives than swords i would like to see actual swords like a prime blugeon would be cool

It has. I saw three Deluxes at the TRU in Wesley Chapel (BB, WJ, and SW, no Lazerback).

So I take it that Skyquake will not be making it to most retail chains in the Americas in lieu of Beast Hunters Voyagers...

Well, better go save up $70 to order him from the Phillipines...

Damn.

Don't know which Canadians you've been talking to, because we've still barely seen PRiD wave 2... and I've only seen the FoC Combaticons twice in stores and both times there were missing members. Canada may get some stuff early but we always get shafted with every line, especially towards the end. So this probably means we won't be seeing Thundertron, Ultra Magnus, or Sqyquake at all.

That said... cool, I'm looking forward to grabbing BH Prime.

I haven't put it down. Predaking did look like a big let down to me, but I don't like most of the beast wars looks. If I can find a set again for $15 a piece do you want me to pick you up a set and ship em' down your way. Sure we get boned with tri-lingual packaging but it's the figure inside that counts.

No problem buddy, I knew you'd do the same for me. I also have grey missiles, and I really like the green of the sword.

If anyone is having a had time finding wave's 3+ at Canadian retail just wait. I'd be willing to say they will still show up at the big three plus discount places like Winners, Marshalls, ect.

Voyagers are only $15 in Canada? Isn't the conversion rate about 1:1 to USD right now? How much are your deluxes??

Actually, 90% of us in Canada missed out on every wave after wave one of TF Prime RID.
Most stores only stocked wave one and that was it....and kept restocking that wave since Feb of 2012. Only a handful of walmarts even stocked wave 2...with arcee and ratchet, we did better with the voyagers but missed out on the last wave in most of the country. There is no way that they will finish the rest of RID in mass retail here and that leaves us with hoping for winners,marshalls or some other small discount chain store to get them like the last 2 waves of generations (the one with warpath and the one with Skyshadow)
