I'd like a Nemesis Prime, but I'm still broke. Guess I'll miss these too.

Montreal/Laval area. With these showing up I now have no reason to doubt that if ever we do get Brainstorm, Arcee, Chromia or Swerve, it will be at Winners first. Hasbro could also rerelease them later like they did with the skids line which showed up at TRU almost a year after it first appeared. But the first appearance of these toys will be at winners, pretty sure.

I will now go check out the two locations ever week.

I'm gonna go check out the nearest Winners today, I also need new pants desperately so this is win-win.

Is it because you saw the revealed MP Tracks in colour?

No... but I do have to say that, out of ALL of the MPs released to date, I am most excited about Tracks. I like the quality level of all of them, but most of the character chocies haven't enticed me to spend that level of money. But Tracks is a childhood favourite of mine. I have a one-armed G1 tracks that is one of the first TFs I got (a second hand one) and I have the reissue of it, and this one looks amazing. I wish I had had the money for MP Grimlock though. He's also a childhood favourite, and the MP series scales well for a dinobot against generations style deluxes. I wonder if there is remotely enough of a market for MP versions of Slag, Sludge, Snarl and Swoop?

I think you have the genuine first Canadian sighting of that pair WJ. Sad ain't it? Well, shajaki is adding Winners to his hunting agenda.

Oh, I just read that Winners is actually owned b TJ Maxx, its pretty much the same store.

I've been hitting the different Winners in town this week and found something worth sharing!
At their south Edmonton location (gateway/calgary trail) I found some Generations Deluxes for $9.99!

I also found scoop and Centurion (is that his name? The minicon guy?) for the same price.

I was at Winners in Central City on Monday, and they only had Centurion (it's used in the game, so fair is fair) and Scoop. I guess I'll need to go back on the way home.

It's funny, I've known that Winners/Homesence was owned by TJMaxx for ages, but then again, I knew it because I had been to a trade show in Mississauga which was right down the street from their corporate offices that had their logos all on a sign out front.

And just to let you guys know, the Gears, Cliffjumpers and Nemesi Primes I found were all at the cash zigzag.

Annoying isn't it?

Just thought I'd drop this here....

ToysRUs.ca has recently listed the two Platinum Edition "Year of the Goat" figures! And if buying online doesn't tickle your fancy, hopefully this is a sign that these fellas may yet see actual store shelves. Click the pics for the links!

I've seen that clear Soundwave at A3U, it is all kinds of sweet. The Prime however... Got my Scourge from that mold, I'm good.

News Credits: 4837 · by **william-james88** » Wed Mar 04, 2015 7:56 pm

The prices on TRU.ca are atrocious. How can YOTH Prime be 150 and this soundwave be over 50$ more?!

Because they are...
Ages 3+ Up: Currently $192.72 Canadian, and only because they have it on sale $25 off the US price.

Winners got some prices wrong for the constructbots :twisted:

Both Optimus and Lockdown are 7.99 instead of "15.00", but they couldnt care less, there was one correctly priced right next to them.

I dont care for these, but Kanrabat, if you do, I hid them behind a big yellow box in the toy island.

Thanks, but I already have those. Still sealed. Waiting to be open. I'll make a post in the haul thread, showing off everything I still have sealed, and then, finally open. All that stuff kept sealed because of my moving away and my overall lazyness.

Do they still have the little Nemesis Prime?

Yup, only one left. And I guess that whole sealed lot includes Alternity Skywarp right?

No, Skywarp was given away as a B-Day gift to my Sis's boyfriend.
That Skywarp, however, suck big time. Compared to my Starscream, he's all loose and have trouble standing up.

Sorry about that, mine works just fine. Hopefully we can still be friends.
