So, the big 5 steps are TrU exclusives?
Man, sometime, I wonder if half the TF that exist are TrU exclusives. About time the packaging are now standard multi-lingual because I would have missed out on a sh|tload of stuff.

That is certainly what it's looking like now with a lot of them lol. If I weren't moving out shortly I'd have grabbed the Mini-cons, but, and I hate to say this as a TF Fan, rent needs to come first

That is true! The guy putting them up didn't make the flags for prices. I was able to check the prices of the Mini-cons, $7.99 each. As for the others... I will try to scan them tomorrow for the prices, as they aren't even on the TRU Canada website yet

I'll do what I can! I'll try to get shots of each Clash figure alone for better shots, and I didn't even know Hasbro hadn't announced them :shock:

Current Wave? Leader Class? At Walmart? Cheaper than TRU?

What's going on?

Feel like I've stepped in to an alternate dimension.

News Credits: 335 · Wed Jul 01, 2015 3:39 pm

Right?

I was really surprised to see it on the shelf. Glad that leaders are actually showing up on the shelves at Walmart.

Pretty solid figure despite a few... annoyances.

News Credits: 4877 · Fri Jul 03, 2015 1:21 am

Yup Leader Magnus is here, and I have a photo of the price tag as well. He is 54.92$ and was found at Walmart in Montreal.

I also found some Robots in disguise goodies, like the Minicons at 7.92$ apiece (ouch!) and Mega Optimus Prime (first time found right?). There was no price on Optimus though.

Devy is back up at TRU.ca

All taxes included, it ammount to roughly 2$ more per voyagers if they were 30$+tx. A full 20$ less if at 35$+tx.

With free shipping, not to shabby.

Now... To order, or not to order?

I'm such an idiot. A happy idiot.

Interesting.

New RID Deluxe TRU Exclusive repaints at the Appleby TRU in Burlington.

Not a fan of BB or Sideswipe but Prime looks good.

They also have the Legion 2 packs and Deployers.

Deployers are $25 + tax

Vs Packs are a brutal $18 + tax

Deluxe are regular price

Well at TRU Mega Op is $39.99(just found him today) so I'd figure at Walmart maybe $39.97 or less? Since the Mini-cons are close to the $7.99 price point at TRU

It seems Canada is on schedule with all of Hasbro's Transformer releases this year.

Downshift and I have a few sightings to report for all Canadian Transformer Fans out there.

Firstly, Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus has been found both in Ontario and Quebec at Walmart. He is priced at 54.92$ Cdn.

Speaking of Walmart, Robots in Disguise Mega Optimus was spotted there as well. While there was no price tag, Trozok21 informed us that he should be around the 39.99$ Cdn price range since that is the price on the Toysrus computers and Walmart should be around the same price.

Continuing on RID 2015, we also have the following sightings from Appleby TRU in Burlington:

Deployers are 24.99$ Cdn.

Clash of the Transformers Exclusive Vs Packs are 18$ Cdn (more than each individually).

Clash of the Transformers Exclusive Warrior class figures (first sighting in North America) at 19.99$ Cdn.

Oo, I might have to get that warrior Optimus.

The return of Allspark Blue

News Credits: 4 · Sat Jul 04, 2015 9:52 am

Wow, I'm astounded at all the recent finds showing up in Canada. Ugh if I didn't have to pay rent and wasn't going on vacation soon I'd probably be frothing at the mouth with all the wants x.x

Sat Jul 04, 2015 10:12 am

I wish my area was on time with stocking shelves. I haven't been to the Toysrus here (because of those price markups) but all the Walmarts and Targets I've been to in my area of SW Florida seem to only be stocking wave 1 CW voyagers, wave 2 CW deluxes, wave 1 CW leaders, wave 2 RID deluxes (barely) and that's about it. One Target has wave 3 RID legions and had wave 2 CW legends (but not Blackjack when I was there :sad:

) Oh and some also have one step figures but I don't pay attention to what wave those are on. I seen some 3 step Steeljaw figures in two stores so I guess that's wave 2 for those.

I have a feeling they're going to skip Motormaster and Thundercracker in my area and go straight to Hot Spot, Cyclonus and Ultra Magnus. I don't mind them skipping leader Thundercracker so much as the leader seekers are where I'll be making my budget cuts (Leaders are WAY overpriced as it is) but I'll be mad if I can't easily get a Motormaster. One Walmart is probably going to skip wave three CW deluxes and voyagers and go straight to wave 4. They put out a bunch of wave 1 voyagers and wave 2 deluxes less than two weeks ago then without any of those selling, they put out even more a few days ago. Now the TINY space for Transformers (two, maybe three pegs for deluxes and a two box wide spot for voyagers) is overrun with Optimus Prime, Silverbolt, Stunticons and Airaid. That Walmart in particular doesn't even have any Power Rangers in it at all, that's how small the toy section is in that one.

While I'm talking about Power Rangers, there's no sign of those new figures either.

Which would you want to get?

If I had all the monies I would get all the minicons as well as those legions two packs and the Deluxe COTF Optimus. But since I dont have all that (and I am saving up for UW Devastator once he shows up on a japan site) I will wait for the eventual liquidation. These tru exclusives always remain on the shelves, just look at the evolution 2 packs (except for the Optimus one). And even Target had a bunch of the exclusive predacon rising packs. They ended up liquidating them big time and I scooped them up, it was a great day.

News Credits: 101 · Sat Jul 04, 2015 1:15 pm

On my end, I just want to be sure to not miss Devastator so I managed to peorder it from TrU. It's relatively not that expensive and I'm sure not to get hit by customs nor pay high shipping. I could have waited for a sale, but I think Devastator will be distributed like Metroplex. There will be not that many units available in stores and he will be available for a month at best. Then, cue in the insane scalper prices!

If Devastator ever end up having more units for sale, and if it enter a mad clearance price, then I may buy a SECOND set to keep him sealed.

Ultra Magnus definitely, if it goes on clearance further, the Evolution 2-Pack Grimlock and G2 YOTG Optimus, MP Star Saber, though him I know I'd have to import. I got all the wave 1 Mini-cons, though Dragonus is a pain since one of his clear accessories keeps popping off

What are your thoughts on the minicons? Are they worth the price?
