I did find velocitron here but I was lucky since there was only one and I haven't seen it since.
It comes out to the same price if you buy it full price in Canada so might as well keep your bbts preorder.

No, not the same price at all.
You said it's $150 (rounding to nearest dollar for ease of use) Can, well, $150 Can is $117.96 US. Meanwhile it's $100 US from BBTS, quite a bit cheaper unless you do something silly with shipping.

As for voyager Optimus and Megatron, those were "Walmart Exclusives". Never saw them at TrU. Bought Megatron but after a while I gave it at my local geek store for credits because I didn't like it.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
Naturally, cause I'm an ill individualwilliam-james88 wrote:WOOHOO!!!!!!! Are you getting both versions?
Yeah I saw a Leader Megs today too. I double up on most things, but I got Takara's Leader Megs on pre-order. I don't care too much about covering both Hasbro and Takara on movie figures. So as much as I wanted him NAOW, I took a deep breath and put him down-Kanrabat- wrote:Also, sighted Leader Megatron and Optimus at Walmart. 70$ instead of TrU's 75$. Still too much. Gonna wait.
I wasn't sure at the time if there were any differences, even though I knew there would likely be very little differences. Either way I thought he'd be a hard find, so meh, might as well lock in a Takara one-Kanrabat- wrote:>Takara Movie TLK Leader Megs
Why?
Because there is (supposed to have) NO differences with the Hasbro.
So why wait more?

Because the movie toys are overpriced in Canada and this is the only way to move them probably.
TRU Exclusive Megatron and Skullitron are 20$ in the US
They are 40$ each in Canada
So choose, overpriced toys and sales once in a while or constantly affordable toys?

So in other words this is not a real sale. This is a "sell the figures for what theyre actually worth everyhere else" sale. Its nice TRU gives collectors a break in countries where the cost of living is somewhat greedy. (in my opinion) But calling it a sale is a bit of an exaggeration because TRU chooses to sell the toys at Canadian exaggerated prices instead of the US equivalent in Canadian currency. Thats on them. The Canadian government isnt forcing them to sell deluxes at $40 a piece. They choose to do it because you guys are willing to pay for them at inflated prices. Same thing goes for Australia. TRU is an American company so their price equivalents should be "American" no matter what country. Obviously they take advantage of foreign collectors. If I go to a currency exchange and give them $20 USD for the equivalent in Canadian (or Australian) currency, would I have enough to buy a Skullitron in a TRU in those countries? If the answer is no, then that means TRU is raping collectors with no Vaseline.
