Yep. Very satisfied. Just got back from my local Toys R us with my 51$ refund for Victorion in my pocket. I was also able to get a raincheck for Blaster and Galvatron

. I was also very happy to see that the limbs for Sky Reign are now on the shelves :-D

I saw them at the LaSalle store in Montreal and I was told by a customer there he had also spotted them in the Anjou store.

Keep in mind I *haven't* seen them at Anjou. I was told them were there. Don't want you to be dissapointed if they aren't lol. I do plan on going there later today or tomorrow and find out though.

Let me know, I am going monday. Oh and let me know if you spot that battle minicon 2 pack with grimlock. For some reason none of us have found it yet (unless it was found and not reported). I dont know if it has been found anywhere in canada.

So, did anyone in the montreal area aside from lasalle find the last wave of combiner wars?

And would anyone have the SKU code for G2 Bruticus?

News Credits: 293 · by **shajaki** » Tue Jun 21, 2016 4:17 pm

Hey Canada! Remember when we told you that ToyRus.ca listed Transformers Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus Collection Pack? Well it's since disappeared, but fear not because Wal-Mart.ca has your back. Today they threw up their own listing for the flashy Combaticon Combiner (seemingly not a pre-order as it's in-stock) for the on par price of $149.92 CAD. See the listing below and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

In the Combiner Wars, teams of Autobots and Decepticons combine to form giant super robots and battle with the fate of worlds in the balance. The Decepticon Combiner Bruticus has immense physical power. He may not be the smartest bot, but his overwhelming strength and indestructible armor are more than enough to make him a nightmare in battle.

Join the battle and build a Combiner super robot with this Combiner Wars Bruticus Collection Pack! Get 6 Combaticons figures that combine to form a Bruticus Combiner figure in this 1 set. The Voyager Class Onslaught figure forms the torso of the Bruticus Combiner figure; the Deluxe Class Decepticon Blast Off, Decepticon Vortex, Swindle, and Brawl figures form the arms and legs; and the Legends Class Shockwave figure becomes a Combiner weapon.

The Combiner Wars universal connection system means these figures work with other Combiner Wars figures! Combine the Onslaught figure with other Deluxe Class Combiner Wars figures or combine the Decepticon Blast Off, Decepticon Vortex, Swindle, and Brawl figures with other Combiner Wars Voyager Class figures to build more Combiner super robot figures! (Additional figures are each sold separately.) The pack also includes 10 accessories, a Combiner Wars poster, and a collectible Bruticus character card.

Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.
• Combiner Wars Bruticus Pack includes 6 Combaticons figures
• Figures combine to build a Bruticus figure
• Each figure converts from robot mode to vehicle mode and back
• Figures work with other Combiner Wars figures (each sold separately)
• Comes with a poster and collector card

Found both Crazybolt and Overload at Marshall's near Eglinton and Pharmacy in Toronto. They were $14.99 each. Fresh off the cart as well and three of the CBs went in the 15 minutes I was there!

I will go check out Marshalls later today then

About Titans Return, I have been calling and it seems none of the local trus are reporting these toys hitting our shores yet. While they are in the system, they appear as discontinuied, which dimply means that there is 0 reported stock anywhere in canada. I guess we will get them in july then. I will call again next week.

From my own personal experiences, calling in has always been hit or miss. More miss than anything really. ha ha. I was at my local TRU and they see shipments in twice this week. Won't really know what's on the truck until it's unloaded. So it's a bit of a waiting game.

Anywho, TR Legends Ravage and Frumble are online for pre-order. Odd that it's wave two...

EDIT: oh, and it shows an estimated shipping date of 08/16. That makes sense if wave one comes out late June/early July.

Wow, I am really surprised that they are keeping that price. That is amazing news. My only problem with this is that unless I buy 7 of them, thre wont be a way to get free shipping.

You wont be getting any? At that price, I am tempted, just to have som variety in my "casette bots". I feel like preordering 7 all together (to get free shipping) and then bringing back all except for one of each. Doe that make me a bad person?

What I find fascinating is that these are different from the prices you wrote above. You think the price will increase once they are released?

News Credits: 4862 · by **william-james88** » Mon Jun 27, 2016 3:10 pm

They are very underwhelming in person. I love Ravage, but I've already got MP Ravage and MMC Jaguar. Those are perfect for me.

I see now that the listings were pulled. Might have just been a test for new product. I think the prices will be higher once they are out, but I'm personally hoping they stay $8.00. It's too bad, if I'm not mistaken, those were the first wave 2 pre-orders for those two anywhere.

Wow, this baffled me. I thought the price tag was much too high for the platinum optimus and megaton set on amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/TRANSFORMERS-Plat ... ansformers

But it sold pretty well, there are only 8 left in stock. I guess people are willing to pay afterall.

Remember way back when I bought a Platinum Optimus Primal for just 50$US + very low shipping? I also had to pay the custom fees in case custom hit. It was around 5$US. I said these fees will be refunded is no customs hit. Well guess what?

I've seen Bee & Grimlock only once in the wild and it was during a 15% off sale. I thought to myself I'll wait for a better sale!

That was a dumb move because I've never seen another set in the wild since then.

It looks the case assortment for wave three is:

2x Strongarm
2x Blizzard Strike Sideswipe.

Guess I might wait until TFcon and pick up the Takara two packs at this point. Might be easier. ha ha.

If anyone in the Ottawa area is still hunting for Sky-lynx, TRU St. Laurent just got shipments in, with at least 3 boxes of him and Onslaught. Just bought mine tonight! (yay working in the loading docks)
