I've spotted a couple Blazing Lockdowns, but not the original. I'll keep my eyes open for you Kirby.

You're just looking for the original, not the Blazing or Stealth models right?

Yep, original only. I want it for the homage value when ROTF Lockdown comes out. Thanks!

2 Ironhides & 2 Bludgeons at Lougheed TRU today as of 1pm. Don't know if they'd last very long.

However, Bowmac/Broadway TRU would be your best bet tomorrow morning. I picked up the last Bludgeon at 5:30, but someone else reported at least 2 of each new Voyager at 6.

I also found out something really awesome. If you call Bowmac and ask really nicely and it's your lucky day, they'll hold a figure for you.

Hard to get through on the phone though.

I was at Metro but didn't get a chance to check the TRU unfortunately. Metropolis had a bunch of new loose figures though, including a very unfortunately busted Lockdown. Almost got him, but realized his hand was missing underneath the hook.

So I'm still looking for Lockdown.

Damn it, he's not on TRU.ca any more, and on ebay, all I can find are either Blazing, Japanese, or the moviefied one... Sorry, man.

Have you tried places like specialty stores or supermarkets? Sometimes they have older stuff.

Kirby, Check Metropolis, they one sitting in the showcase, however it's on the bottom shelf so I don't know what may be wrong with it. I would have checked but we were in a hurry at the time.

Anyone see Walmart Legends Dev yet?

Metropolis Comics and Games got in Mindwipe and Defender Prime today.

Get them before they're gone

You know Mkall, one of these days You, Me, and KIrby will all be in that store at the same time, and none of us will realize it until we read it here.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 1:50 pm

Haha, yeah I wouldn't be surprised, although I usually don't go unless there's been a sighting. Takes me an hour to get to Metro after work so the trip's not worth it just to check.

Yep, been looking everywhere including London Drugs (only Voyagers, oddly...), and nothing, aside from one lead courtesy of Editor.

I'll probably check it out today and report back with the results.

I was going to post the Mindwipe sighting, but Mkall beat me to it. :mrgreen:

Edit: Got Lockdown.

Ah, nice! I just saw one at Zellers Barrie, if anyone else is looking for one.

They also had a bunch of TFs on "clearance". Clearance being regular price. :roll:

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:36 am

Yep, he's awesome. Concindentally, I saw 2 more today. :lol:

Went to Brentwood Mall for the first time today, and they have a small manga/hobby/game store with a bunch of TFs. Mostly older stuff, and a few loose items...including Energon Galvatron. He's one of my last remaining grails. He was complete. So I bought him.

For 45!! That's like half the price I would've paid on eBay.

Brentwood Zellers was also very well stocked and organized for a Zellers. Tons of Bruticus and Legends giftsets, along with the brand new ROTF Legends 2-packs and 2 Recon Ironhides, not to mention all the really old but still cool stuff. Like Animated Sunstorm and Skywarp.

Well from when I was there on Sunday I saw one at the Zellers, and I saw another at the London Drugs. So I figure those were the two you saw? I never go to that hobby store as i've was never impressed with what Paul stocked the place with. Guess next time I should step in there.

That Brentwood location is a bit weird, as I found stuff there a few times after expecting them to be gone from retail. It's where I found my Stealth Lockdown, when I could only find Ratchets at all the other local Zellers.

I actually didn't think to go in the London Drugs, but I saw another Lockdown in the hobby store besides the one at Zellers.

Yeah, I'd never been to that store before, but it seems worth checking out if you missed something at retail from awhile ago, and they had an okay selection of loose figs too.

Anyone go to Lougheed Wal-Mart today? I'm heading down there tomorrow (for the first time since the new year), and I'm kinda wondering what to expect.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:49 am

I haven't been there myself yet, but I've seen reports of the Legends Devastator giftset and the new Scout 2-packs.

I'm pretty sure the Devastator is a Walmart exclusive, but are the Scouts as well? I'd rather wait until they get released elsewhere if not.

News Credits: 9 · by **Editor** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 1:12 pm

Yep both are there, and they have the NEST Bumblebee vs Soundwave pack as well.

News Credits: 487 · by **Darth Bombshell** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:36 pm

Just got back from there, and while they had all the stuff you guys mentioned, they also had two Recon Ironhide's and one Bludgeon.

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 6:06 pm

Oddly enough, if you want a Bludgeon, the Richmond Zellers has them and most likely the newer waves of Scouts. I scored a Sonar from there and they had a couple wideloads left on mostly empty pegs.

News Credits: 23 · by **1337W422102** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 6:07 pm

Brossard TRU on the South Shore of Montreal has the NEST Deluxe wave and the newfangled scouts, like that little bomber dude who plugs into the voyager stealth.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 3:23 am

Latest word is, the combiner giftsets are on sale at North Vancouver Zellers for $29.99 a pop. Not sure if it's chain-wide.

Just in time for me to take a break from buying too... :BANG_HEAD:

So, do I get Superion because my Energon one is missing some limbs, or Bruticus because I'm almost certainly getting the add-on, even though I have a complete E-Bruticus. And you only need 2 limbs. I may have answered my own question, but I'm not sure if I agree. :-?

And how do I hide it from my girlfriend? Somebody buy my toys so I can justify this! :lol:

by **ang3l3s** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:55 pm

FOUND THEM AT WALMART IN LASALLE ACROSS FORM CAREEFOUR ANGRINON, ONLY 1 BLUDGEON LEFT AND ABOUT10 DEVESTATORS, ALSO SAW BLUDGEON AT ZELLERS IN CARREFOUR ANGRINON

ENGLISH JETFIRES A TRU IN THA AREA AS WELL. NO LUCK ON THE BRUTICUS FOR $29.99 AT ZELLERS THOUGH.

Metropolis still has a few Defender Optimus Primes, but nothing of note otherwise, aside from a load of loose figures. (And to show you how long it's been since I've been to Metrotown, they don't have the Circuit City store that was down the way anymore, neither do they have the Disney Store.)

TRU is apparently having a Deluxe sale , since all their deluxe ROTF figs are $12 or something. That pisses me off royal since they had Jolt, and I paid twice as much for him over @ Metropolis. And good to see there's still some of the larger Devastator figures on sale, though I'm still waiting for it to go down in price. (Attention managers of TRU: the reason you're not moving these figures is because they cost too damn much. Cut the price in half, and you'd be surprised how fast they'd moved. I don't seem to recall you waiting this long to price drop Unicron.)

Didn't go to the Coquitlam TRU (and again, showing how long it's been since I've been down there, there's apparent roadwork going on nearby, since the bus was diverted. Can't really be Olympics related, could it?) or the Lougheed Wal-Mart. Though in the latter case, since I was down there earlier in the week, I suspect little has changed (though I doubt the Ironhides or Bludgeon are still there.)
