Busy, very busy. Combination of factors keeping me away from collecting for a little while there, university and funds being predominant, but I'm still keeping an eye out. Now if only I can stay away from the 25th ann. GI Joe line for a little while...

I know what you mean, mate. I went to Legends today, bought 2 Joe Comic Packs and I have 2 more figures coming in the mail.

Editor, I've only seen the Combat Heroes in a specialty store so far.

Thank 1W, I'll check a few specialty places around here, Too bad A3&Up doesn't support the little guys enough. (they did take a bath on the Indy ones)

Bombshell, I understand your issue as I'm stuck to Translink as well. Especially with that store, when you do get there, take a good look around that whole section. People are forever hiding items for freinds (or while they check A3&Up)behind stuff further down that row and the side wall (near the WWF stuff)

I would suggest doing a price check when you have the chance. You never know!

South Common Walmart had lots of Transformers. Tons of the newer waves of Classics (Sideswipe, Silverstreak, etc), but oddly not a single Ironhide. Nothing else too interesting there...

Zellers at Erin Mills TC had the older classics (Prowl, Octane, etc). Really all old stuff, and nothing too interesting.

AnimeXtreme in t-dot had Ani- Shockwave, Swindle, Blurr and Blazing Lockdown. Over priced, but they had them.

by **Pravashi** » Sun Nov 30, 2008 8:18 pm

Walmart on Kelsey drive, St. John's Newfoundland has new universe figures. I grabbed the last Ironhide in sight, but there were 2 Silverstreaks left. No sign of Sideswipe though.
Also, Zellers on Stavanger drive has lots of legends 5 packs (team leaders/aerial), as well as the minicon 12 pack.

Thanks, mate! I just posted part 2 of the 'Breaker's Getting Married' story arc. Third and final part coming next week.

The flyer said 30% off all Transformers and had Activators Bumblebee and Animated Voyager Megatron pictured. Not sure if it applies to stuff like SWTFs and the like.

Anyone ever buy from Kool Toyz? I'm thinking of buying from them, but I've been hearing bad things about some online stores recently. Are they trustworthy?

They have had a table at TFCon over the last few years. I know the owner and I have bought from him before. He can be trusted.

Found the Deluxe/Legends/Legends-3 packs at Zellers last week, though the Ratchet/Lockdown redecos are horrid.

by **Foallen** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 7:13 pm

Don't think it's been mentioned, but Costco has Animated Roll Out Command Optimus Prime for $35 (it says save $15 - reg $50). Seemed like a good price to me, so I ended up getting one (haven't opened it). I know these large gimmick-formers usually suck, but they are large.

What's the word on the Animated Skywarp repaint...is it set to be released here?

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 11:07 am

I assume it will be since it's part of the official Animated waves, not an exclusive. On that note, are we getting Titanium Prowl?

So anyone spotted Cyclonus in Canada yet? I managed to pick one up, however before you get too excited it was the US release being sold at import hobby store 'Beans' at Aberdeen Mall in Richmond BC. I grabbed the last one, but I wouldn't be surprised if they get more in the near future. No sign of Hound, I assume someone else already got him.

Cyclonus is without a doubt the best deluxe released in recent years, so glad I was able to pick him up.

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 11:26 am

Ha. Beans, I picked up my First Strike Movie Prime from them. I've been looking around us and I've yet to see the current waves hit regular retail stores, (new paint ap Starscream was at Golden Age Last week) but I figure it's only a matter of time.

I would have thought if we were seeing the WW Titaniums that we would have seen them by now, and I haven't heard any rumbling that they are still in the pipeline.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 2:27 pm

Darn, that's too bad. I was lucky enough to grab WW Grimlock last time I was in the US, but they didn't have Prowl. Looks like eBay for me...

I wonder why it's taking so long to restock the newer waves? TRU's shelves are really bare these days. A3U had some newer stuff months ago and now they're gone of course, I hear the replacement store probably won't be stocking much in the way of Transformers as it's hard to compete with TRU. Zellers has actually been better for stocking newer Animated figs, but they sell out quickly since they have less space. I still haven't seen Ultra Magnus.
