Full set of CW Wave 3 Voyager, Deluxe, & Legends at Oakville Walmart

One set of Wave 3 RID Deluxe at the Burnhamthorpe Walmart in Mississauga.

Thanks Downshift, I found some too in the quebec area, I will post some pics when I get home later.

For now, here is a slight discount (not enough to consider this a great deal) on some TRU exclusives. What is interesting is that this is not widespread, it just affects the insecticons and YOTG optimus:

It is widespread. I saw them lowered at one of my TRU's yesterday but totally forgot to post it.

Hmm, clearance priced on the website already? I wonder if that means the stores will be doing that eventually? Still to rich for my blood though. As much as I want YOTG G2 Optimus, $167 after my TRU discount is still a bit too much for me, if it ever gets clearance marked in store (no discount on online orders), and I already have the Insecticon reissues from years ago, but I'll let my collector coworkers know about this if they don't already

and still waiting for Blackjack to show up somewhere in Ottawa to complete Menasor *shakes angry fist at Windcharger peg warmers*

I feel your pain, friend.

I meant a widesrpead discount among the line. Like those weeks where everything above a certain amount is 10% off. It's not widespread in that regard, I should have been more clear. That means it might not only be for this week.

As do I. What I find odd is that I didnt even spot Blackjack at walmart and they now have all the wave 3 stuff.

TRU Employee to the rescue! Usually a price ending in .98 means it's clearance priced, so it could be a lengthy, if not permanent thing.

So to clarify, those prices may not be for a sale, but rather in-store price cuts because they can't seem to get rid of them. Just ask all those shelfwarmer YOTH Starscreams my store can't seem to get rid of XD

I do work today, so I will check it out and report back after my shift

I still find it odd that Motormaster and Blackjack were taken down so abruptly from the TRU website, and I haven't really had the chance to check out anywhere else, and I'll be darned if I'm gonna pay $20+ from eBay or the comic store :/

Motormaster was there today in the store. I have a funny pic to post later of a certain toy I found in abundance (or rather a certain version of a toy).

But its not just Blackjack, its that whole wave 2 legends wave (huffer as well) that I never found.

Also, thanks for the insider knowledge. Although 20$ off is not that much of a clearance sale.

Hmm, hope it is rib-tickling funny, though the Motormaster I bought the other week has been the only one I've seen so far out here. Still plenty of Optimus Primes and Megatrons though!

Yeah you're right there, I haven't seen either of them in my neck of the woods, though I thought I'd seen some posts in this thread about people finding Huffer, though I may be mistaken :/

It's all baby steps really. If they still can't sell, they might cut the price even more at a later date, but that's wishful thinking

EDIT 2: Back with a sitrep, and yeah the Platinum Insecticons and YOTG G2 Optimus Prime are clearance marked. The yellow clearance flags are out for them

Here's the funny picture was talking about that I took at TRU: http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-leader-class-figures-thread-p1698070.php#p1698070

And here are my pictures to show that Quebec walmarts now have wave 3:

Alberta has Wave 3 Voyagers and Legends, but no Deluxes yet. Though nothing specifically in MY city though....

Question for my fellow northerners:
With the talk of stuff we never got, did any of you ever see the Ruination Wave?

and here I am twittling my thumbs waiting for the wave 2 legends to finally show, though Cyclonus has intrigued me a little so I may get him when I find him

We got them for a very short time at Walmarts from what I remember, but I'll have to double check.

Yeah, I vaguely recall seeing one or two at a Walmart out here a couple of years ago

EDIT: Found CW Cyclonus at a specialty store, and Generations Skrapnel with Reflector at Winners for $7.99

Well, Found the Protectobots at a local Walmart, but ugh they price gouge compared to Toys R Us. $19.92 for a deluxe at Walmart, compared to $17.99 at TRU, and they wouldn't price match since TRU doesn't have them in their systems yet. Still, picked up Rook for a last limb for Galvatronus, and First Aid for the lady since she loves medic bots



and yeah, Cyclonus from when I grabbed him earlier this week, never got around to posting the pic

You didnt want to wait for your employee discount at TRU?

Considering how long it takes us to get new stuff(at least at my store) I could have been waiting until the end of the summer at the earliest for the Protectobots to come in, since it took us almost a month to get Motormaster after the rest of the Stunticons first came out, and even then it took a while for them. Plus if I wanted to at another store, I'd have hoops to jump through to get my discount

Oh man, I didnt know that, thanks for explaining the TRU experience.

My TRU's don't even have Wave 2 yet...

It's still not that bad compared to other places I've worked at, I just wish the distributor for my store would get newer stock faster

Yeah man. Been sayin that for a while. My TRU's have Wave 1, and Leader Megatrons and Thundercrackers, nothing else. Meanwhile my Wal-Marts have all of Wave 2, Wave 3 Voyagers/Legends, but not one Leader. Its messed.
