Oakville Walmart has about three Evacs if someone is still looking for them. Oakville TRU had just about everything including Stockade (who I hadn't seen previously). I picked one up.

Ages Three and Up has lots of the exclusive Allspark scouts as well as the latest Encores, and still a whole bunch of MP-05's, not to mention their usual assortment of used figures.

I finally got myself a Cybertron Galvatron, and picked up an Allspark Warpath just for fun.

Except that they didn't have the used Movie Starscream that was there two weeks ago.

Some jerkwad probably went there during the week and picked it up...hopefully nobody here... /:)

(At least it meant that I was able to pick up the complete run of Runaways, so at least that was a bandaid on the wound.)

Anyways, I checked out the HMV, and they had the first two seasons of Beast Wars on DVD. And according to the website, the third season's there now, too. And seeing as how I get paid on Thursday, I'll be able to head down on the weekend and pick them up.

Unless someone gets to them first. But no one here's that heartless.

Are you? /:)

I picked up the BW on DVD a few years ago from the US. Best show since G1 IMHO!

First rule, if there's something you want, don't post it here. lol, but no I wouldn't do that, and it wasn't me, I only grabbed the nice minty-looking Cybertron Galvatron. I even left the Supreme class Starscream, I'm not really into that sort of thing. And to assure you I didn't take the movie Starscream, I think it's an absolutely horrid design.

Loose figs tend to go pretty quickly at A3U if they're pretty desireable. Hey, if you're ever there and you see an Energon Galvatron for sale, let me know, will ya? :wink:

Today (April 12) TF Animated deluxes were available for purchase at the Wal-Mart in Eastgate Square in Hamilton, Ontario. Originally sighted by RandomFerret of the TFWORLD2005 forums, I followed up on the sighting and can confirm it; I purchased one each of the four deluxes. A few Bumblebees and Prowls were still on the pegs when I left.

Well guys, I have returned & no, I am not deceased!

To say the least, my collection's grown A LOT!.

Anyways, back on topic, I haven't exactly seen anything new in Orillia or Barrie, mainly because I haven't been up there since November, but, I may head up there sometime soon to search for TF Animated figures

.

I guess I should keep an eye out for TFA as well, I'll let everyone know if I see any of course.

Ages Three and Up has Takara USA Edition Masterpiece Starscream on sale for $89.99! Probably store-only but you could check their site.

They also had 2 MP-05 Part kits when I was there last, but they're kind of expensive at $69.99

Have the PREMIUM versions of Leader Movie OP or Megs and Deluxe Bumblebee showed up in the lower mainland?

News Credits: 11 · Tue Apr 22, 2008 4:41 pm

Haven't seen them yet, only Premium Barricade, however Ages Three and Up says they got a completely new assortment of Movie Deluxes. However, they don't say if that includes Premiums.

Just spoke to my friend at a TRU store in Toronto and it appears that the Wave 1 TF Animated deluxe toys are in stock there. The same selection that was in at Hamilton Wallie.

Brampton Wal-Mart (Hwy. 7 and Airport Rd.) as of 11:30am had:

2x Lockdown (1 left now)
3x Prowl (2 left now)
2x Optimus Prime
2x Bumblebee

TRU Brampton was out of stock.

Nothing at the 401 and Winston Churchill Wal-Mart.

Stupid Canadian packaging. No bios on the back of the card. :-x

News Credits: 23 · Tue Apr 29, 2008 6:28 pm

Yep, bios on the back of the instructions. Fun, fun. However, it doesn't suck as bad as the 25th Anniversary GI Joes, which don't even have Filecards! They have huge trilingual information pages inside the packages...

Anyway, I found Animated Wave 1 at the Brossard Toys R Us on the South Shore of Montreal, but most of it is gone. No more Optimus Primes at all.

So I finally found the first wave of Animated at the Mississauga ToysRus. Four figures for the low price of $50...I'm an idiot.

Hey DS! $50 for 4 figs? Was there a sale we were unaware of?

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks for pointing that out Zed. I just noticed now that the lady at the register only charged me for three! Each figure is $14.99 ($44.97 plus taxes) Taxes being $5.85 = $50.82!

Oh man. This day keeps getting better and better!

And here I thought I was a tool for paying $50!

All things aside I'm happy with the first four. Lockdowns hands suck, but other then that they are all pretty decent.

I was hoping I could score a deal like $6.99 for deluxes at US Targets but after reading your clarification looks like it won't happen :sad:

I agree that Lockdown is the weakest of the ones that were released in Wave 1. I like his character though unlike Sentinel Prime. I think Sentinel pretty much has ticked everyone off. Even the viewers.

I really ought to get over to TRU and see if we've got any Animated toys here on the west coast.

Bwahahaha. Did you mean to make that joke or was it unintentional? :lol:

I don't much care for the character but I think they'll make him decent a little later in the show. I have a feeling they might even kill him off.

I'm really glad they didn't call him Rodimus Prime.

It was a joke my friend :grin:

Glad you agree about Sentinel. I am hopeful that he will have a character change through the show. Hopefully sooner than later.

TRU Surrey had them so they should be in or hitting around the Lower Mainland now.

As for Sentinel Prime, i think this is a Pride before the fall situation. He's already been owned by Headmaster, so he's already heading down. One or too more situations where he fails, or if he goofs up in front of UM, then we'll see a change in his character.
