Not if they're like my TRU's. This listing is really good for those looking, cause I see un-movable piles of Wave 1 Voyagers here. Which begs the question: why have all the sales lately excluded Voyagers and higher? They'll have make some attempt to unload all those Primes and Silverbolts sooner or later.

Oh I here you there, my TRU is like that too. Plus Megatrons, and a boatload of Windchargers that aren't go anywhere soon, but at least that listing gives a little bit of hope since my girlfriend is maddingly searching for him and Blackjack to complete her Stunticons until we can afford Brake-neck and Quickslinger

You have a pretty cool girlfriends Trozok21.

I am wondering if anyone has visited Winners yesterday (or today) to see if maybe we got those latest power attackers figures too.

I always thought Edmonton had great distribution. But apparently we got nothing on Calgary who seems to get stuff 2-3 weeks earlier than us. Though one of my TRU's in town has Leader Thundercracker, and one of the Edmonton suburbs has Wave 3 Legends.

*sigh*
Guess I'll just... wait some more [-(

Finally... Finally it seems my store finally got CW Motormaster in. Only one case, and only one in the case. My girlfriend is happy, now to hunt for Blackjack to complete the look...

6 Masterpiece Bluestreak at the Appleby TRU in Burlington for the insane price of $89.98 + tax.

He might be one of my favorites, but I'm not paying that price for something I originally paid $42 Canadian for.

The AOE toys at winners was put in the aoe thread to not clutter this onw up. In hosrt:

A routine visit yielded some very interesting and odd sightings such as leftover Age of Extinction toys. The most notable is a Leader Optimus Prime at only 19.99$ cdn (16.12$ US). The walmart exclusive one step Stinger was also found which is as random as you can get, especially since this was never found in stores in Quebec, Canada (where these sightings are from), and had to be ordered online. The inclusion of Stinger leads to the conclusion that this is probably overstock from Walmart.

Let me know if any of you find other stuff at your local Winners..s

Age of Extinction Toys massively discounted at Winners (TJ Maxx in Canada)

Thread title is incorrect. Winners in Canada is still called Winners. There's one across the street where I live!

Winners is TJ Maxx in the USA, not Canada.

It depends how you read the title. In Canada, we dont have TJ Maxx, we have Winners. So the store Winners is what the TJ Maxx store is called in Canada. It was made so that american readers who are not accustomed to the name Winners know what is being referenced.

Big batch of Bluestreaks on the shelf at Toys R Us in Barrie, Ontario.

Hasbro distribution of toys has me all like :HEADHURTS:

. I also saw CW Leader Thundercracker, but the rest of the shelves are warmed by old AoE stuff, a handful of RiD deluxes and CW Wave 1 Deluxes and Legends. Heck, we haven't even seen CW Blackjack at our TRU or EITHER of our two Walmarts. :BOOM:

Just wanna finish my Menasor, and I ain't paying for shipping on a $12 figure. :-x

News Credits: 293 · Wed Jun 10, 2015 2:04 pm

My Wal-Marts are regularly stocking CW Wave 2 Deluxes, Voyagers, and Legends (though BlackJack is tough to find) while I have yet to see a Leader on their shelves since Jetfire.

Meanwhile my TRU's can't get past Wave 1 Deluxe/Voyager/Legends..... buuut has all the Leaders (TC started showing last week). Edmonton is messed :???:

I didn't say they were shelf warmers, just said they were warming a shelf.

As in warming the bench.

Still, an odd phrase to use in this context seeing as how changing the syntax means something totally different in this fandom.

Sorry for annoying you Downshift.

Maybe you could help me with this. I found these constuct bots at winners today and I have never seen them before. Are they new or super old. And if they are old, from when are they?

Wave 3 CW Deluxes just hit the shelf at Barrie, Ontario south end Walmart.

Still ZERO sign of Wave 2 or 3 CW voyagers, Wave 2 or 3 CW legends, and NOT ONE leader figure ever at this store. :BANG_HEAD:

News Credits: 293 · Thu Jun 11, 2015 9:22 am

Dang, distribution sure is sporadic.

News Credits: 122 · Thu Jun 11, 2015 9:29 am

I'm so jelly.

Wave 2 just showed up in my area (rejoice!), and I've seen wave 3 Legends class figures... crossing my fingers the Protectobots show up in the next month.

Megatronus, are you gonna double dip and get the takara one too? I only want to get either one but the current price of the takara one (the one I would rather have) is just too much for me due to its extra exclusivity factor. SO I might settle for Hasbro's.

I'm actually breaking the bank. Because I'm a moron, and I think I can compensate for my grand plan with some eBay sales.

I'm getting 2 sets of the Hasbro versions to open - one to display in combined mode, another to display in robot mode teams - and then the Takara versions for MISB (except I'm getting 2 Defensors so I can enjoy deluxe Groove). I'm a sucker for box sets, and Takara more often than not really nails the packaging.

Sigh. #-o

Well to be fair, Takara's packaging for Superion is amazing and the window packaging with flap makes it one of the better items to display in MISB

I 100% agree - Superion's packaging looks amazing, and the window is a huge plus. I just need to work out how to fund some of this stuff.

I'm excited for it all, though.
