That would be great...if Zellers had anything worth buying.

Damn, beat me to it.

You know what that means...

Beat me to it to. They do raincheck though don't they?

Good news/bad news time. Good: just got back from my adventure into town, stopped at Wal-Mart and didn't find Jolt or the Ice Cream Twins.

Bad: I did find Arcee, Swerve and Stalker Scorponok, along with pair of Devastators. After mentally screaming my lungs out, I decided to buy an Arcee, even though I'm going to pay for it when my account gets charged. Ah, well. Such is life.

Oh, and I found a couple of Jolts and two Jetfires at Metropolis, though naturally they're overcharging for them, which means I won't be getting them. At least not till next payday.

(Edit: This whole post is a page too late...oh well)

^ lol. Hmm, too bad Zellers generally has nothing new.

I'll be heading out tomorrow, but I would like to know if anyone else went to the Coqutilam/Metrotown Toys 'R Us' or the Lougheed Wal-Mart and found Jolt or the Ice Cream Twins. I'm not expecting them to be at either TRU, but since I have absolutely no money left to budget on getting either of them till next check, I'd really like to know whether or not they're at the Wal-Mart.

Someone please tell me they went to the Wal-Mart and didn't find them.

I was at Metrotown TRU and there was no Jolt nor Ice Cream Twins. I think they had the regular twins though, and finally a few Ravages. I almost got Ravage, but passed in favor of Cybertron Blurr I found at Metropolis. What can I say? It's a nice homage! Even if it's based on a really crappy mold. XD

Metropolis Comics & Toys did have Jolt though, if you feel like paying $25 for him.

Lansdowne TRU in Richmond has nothing new, but they've still got those leader Devastators.

A friend contacted me to let me know that he saw Supreme Class Devastator at Wal Mart. Price? $109.99. $10 more than TRU! Bit of a surprise considering they are usually a few cents cheaper.

I already said that I found two of them over there over the weekend. I never bothered to find out how much they cost. I'm glad I did. I'm pretty sure if I did, I would have had a heart attack right there in the store.

I wonder how they expect them to sell at all, with that price. Was Roll Out Command OP that expensive? Probably not, even he's not that big...

Good point. I think that he was $90 at TRU when he came out. He is now selling for $20 at conventions.

The most I've ever seen him going for anywhere was $65 at that Wal-Mart.

In case you guys haven't heard, WalMart has Universe Voyagers on clearance for $10. I was able to find Inferno, Dropshot, and Vector Prime. I was hoping to find Treadbolt and Overload, though.

Oh well, maybe some generous person will bring some to the Canadian Action Figure Expo this weekend.

Cheers buddy. Much better price for them than $40.

I wonder if that is a regional price, as the walmart I was at uesterday had regular prices on those.

I believe it may be only Ontario. And I think the sale started today. But it's actually a clearance sale. I guess WalMart had them sitting in their warehouse and forgot about them or something.

It is worrying that this is the first I'm hearing Universe Inferno being available in Canada?

Classics Inferno is just a myth, like that Leader Blackbird.

Hey, I've seen the Leader Blackbird. That ain't no myth. Overcharged, yeah. But no myth.

Seconded! If so this would be great as I had to get him from the US and I am looking for one to open.

Yeah... I wouldn't mind getting the latter part of the Universe/Animated Voyagers that never showed up here.

I can confirm that Inferno is out in Canada @ Walmart and he is cheap! God I love it when Walmart cuts the price before a wave is released. They did the same thing with Energon Omega Supreme/Sentinel a few years backs. I was giddy to see so many and all for only $10!!!! I was LMFAO in the aisles with my cart full!

Did anyone stop by Metropolis today? Did they still have a Jolt?

Or better yet, did anyone go to Wal-Mart and find him cheaper there?

As late as 8pm on Friday when I was meeting with Johnny, Yes he still had a Jolt on the shelf.

As for Inferno being released in canada, that is a surprise to me, as not one store I've been to has ever had one (while I was there) so if they are clearing them out without even bothering to get them properly spread across the country, then not only are they limiting their profit potential, but they are also confirming the often heard rumor that they don't bother to ensure all regions have a chance at everything.

I've never seen Inferno. Not once, not even at conventions/specialty shops. I bet that the guys who got him for $10 will be selling him for $50 at the ToyCon next month.

Inferno is all over Toronto Walmarts at this time. As well as Treadbolt, Vector Prime (way too many) and Heavy Load. They have taken out an end aisle section and put them there with $10 noted as the clearance price. Stupid Walmart more than likely found skids that should have shipped out months ago at the warehouse.

Reason # 4357 I should have tried to get my work shift yesterday changed to today: it wasn't there.
