Platinum Edition RID Grimlock and Bumblebee, bought from one of my local Winners' for 40 bucks. Also, there's like 10 or more Winners' in my city, and there's reports of them hitting almost every one of them so they're plentiful!

Good news for those still looking for a decently sized Robots in Disguise Grimlock. The Transformers Platinum Edition set which featured a slight redeco of the Takara voyager Robots in Disguise Grimlock and deluxe Bumblebee has been found at Winners, one of the main market six stores in Canada. It has been found throughout the country, but the particular sighting below comes from fellow Seibertronian Shajaki, in Edmonton, Alberta. The set is only $40 CAD ($31.33 USD) which is a far cry from the $80 Walmart had been charging. Good luck to everyone on their hunt!

The two holiday catalogs from Toysrus and Walmart are out now in Canada and both feature our favourite brand prominently. Walmart mainly shows Transformers Toys from the Last Knight with a series of rollback we previously listed in detail here. The Toysrus catalogue shows some love to Titans Return as well with the prices on deluxes and voyagers reduced by $3 and $5 respectively. As for the Last Knight toys, it seems Toysrus is on par with the price drops from Walmart, making the prices similar to what they would have been before the price jump for the movie line. You can click each picture below to be brought to the respective holiday guides.
The Walmart catalog also confirms that the Titan hero figures from Transformers The Last Knight were Walmart exclusives all along. The Walmart catalog can be used for price matching at Toysrus and vice versa (though Walmart appears to be pickier with the toy needing to be the same as the image in the flyer). All the best on your holiday shopping.

Some of those simplified toys look really better in person.

Good. Glad to see a lot TF stuff particularly TLK but would be nicer if it was new Bee rather than Wave 1 Bee shown there. Anyways christmassy christmas. I've deliberately held off on the TLK Blu Ray so it gives someone else (one individual in particular) something easy to obtain to get me as a present cos apparently I'm a really 'tricky bastard to buy a gift for'.

Not "around". They WERE. And those TrU exclusive deluxes, Megatron and Skullitron? 40$CAN. Each. (Glad I got both at less than 19$CAN each due to a price fokkop and Québec's accurate pricing law).

Platty Primal finally dropped again. Still not enough to make me bite though.

yes it was, but there was probably lots of news that day and when you logged on it was probably gone by then. Plus it was in the TLK toy thread.

That 25E deluxe TLK Megatron amount to 37.57$CAN. A bad price, yes, but ironically 1.43$CAN CHEAPER than the original regular price.
Regular TLK deluxes are 30$CAN while other deluxes from other lines are 20$CAN. Still, it seem it's the end of the TLK line and both Walmart and TrU are putting their regular TLK deluxes at 20$CAN.

The bad side is that Toys R Us France has almost no choice at all in TF figures.

Yeah, there was a news post about it a week ago: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ada/40024/

Those are place holder listings, the figures were never in stock and currently arent even in the system properly as transformers, hence why their prices havent changed with the line wide sale TRU has this week.

No eta. Combiner Wars only arrived in Canada in January so I would expect the same for Power of the Primes http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=57384

Canadians looking for bargains this holiday season may be in luck. Winners has received a lot of various new Transformers stock. The offerings at this Market Six store will differ from location to location so these are just a few examples. Warrior class figures from the Robots in Disguise Soundwave / Blurr wave have been found for $12.99. This would explain why this particular wave had a very short lived shelf life with the primary Hasbro retailers, the stock was dumped to Winners/TJX.

Speaking of Robots in Disguise, you can also find the Crash Combiners for $14.99. There was also Rescue Bots items, such as the different playsets, Transformers: The Last Knight Optimus Prime Knight Armor for $19.99, and still many many Titan Heroes figures from Age of Extinction (those are of course not new, but seem fully restocked). There have also been reports on seeing the Toysrus Exclusive Platinum Year of the Monkey Optimus Primal for $80. It seems most of this stock is coming from Toysrus, with exclusives such as Optimus Primal and some Power Rangers Legacy items showing up.

For the fans wondering where the Fidget It Transformers spinners can be found in Canada, it seems like Dolarama is the place to go. With Dollarama recently becoming more involved than ever in the discount store territory, taking older stock from other retail stores, it is unsure if this product comes directly from Hasbro or from a big box store that simply no longer wants to stock spinner toys. They are all across Canadian Dollarama stores for only $2 a piece.
