Yeah, I was equal parts pissed and surprised when I saw them today. Hopefully they will start popping up more so everyone can get one. Wish Hasbro would have handled them much better.

Nice find, sab! Are the packages bilingual, by any chance?

I honestly didn't check I didn't stay long, but if I go back I'll check for you. Most of our stuff is so I don't see why not.

Don't trouble yourself nor go out of you way. If you happen to find yourself in area and have to drop by the shop, that'd be great. Otherwise, don't worry about it. I was just asking because if there's no French on the packages, I won't be able to find them at general retail in my province (loltonguecops).

No worries. I go because it's right near the bus and the weather is nice. I'm also scouting for the Generations line so I'm there whenever I'm in the neighborhood, which is 2-3 times a week. So you might have to wait till next week or so unless someone else sees one.

No problem, and no hurry.

Haven't seen anything new on the South Shore of Montreal. Not even that moviefied Lockdown wave.

It looks like they're English Only.

I'd be willing to bet that Quebec won't be seeing them. But if you're coming to TFCon, you'll probably be able to find them there.

Thanks for the help, guys!

Holy freakin' crap, it's a bloody miracle! Well yeah, like everyone else, I already imported mine too. Luckily I got them for a really good deal, but still. They could have at least let us know they were planning on releasing them here at all, I assumed they were not.

Anybody seen the dark Scattorshot variant showing up anywhere in Canada yet?

Don't worry, I'm used to it.

Nah, don't worry about it. It was more of an "if I see it, I'll pick it up" purchase than a straight-up "DO WANT," know what I mean? Thanks, though.

All good there for ya bud. Anything to piss off the tonguecops!

Found TFA Arcee and Cybertron Ratchet at the Sherway Gardens TRU. Passed on Ratchet, but since it was BOGO, I got Arcee with a free Blazemaster. Blazemaster sucks, but the rotor gimmick provided a good 15 minutes of hilarity with my kitten. Arcee's awesome though.

If you're a BattleTech/MechWarrior fan, you can sorta combine that crappy chopper with the Cybertron Defence Vanguard Backpack missile tank dude's mould to make a makeshift Timberwolf/Mad Cat. Kerensky, returning, etc.

Buy One Get One Free at Toys R Us from Friday to Sunday! HOW AWESOME IS THAT! Getting Animated Arcee and Ratchet as a set for $15.99 + tax and G1 reissue Insecticons and Perceptor as a set for $49.99 + tax! SAVED $75!

Whoa, sweet, congrats!

Hope everyone else takes advantage of this while they can. One day left!

I totally would, but I'm pretty much caught up on everything. Just waiting for Generations.

You and me both. And I found out that my laptop can run War For Cybertron, too, so there's another expense I'll have to add to my shopping list...

The wait is killing me. I want the new stuff now As far as WFC is concerned, EBgames had great deals on trade ins and I didn't have to pay a thing for it

High five, man!

Arcee & Ratchet have been spotted at Metrotown Toys R Us.

No other sightings in BC yet.

Speaking of the War for Cybertron stuff, according to their website, the Pinetree, Robson and Howe and Broadway and Granville stores have the War for Cybertron novel out already. These stores usually have their stuff out before the official release date.

Chapters you mean?

Lansdowne TRU also had Arcee and Ratchet today, but they sold out within 2 hours of the original posting. Was going to pick a set up for a friend after work, but that idea didn't last long.

Oh well, that means Bowmac/Broadway should be getting them soon.

Hey guys, this is kinda off-topic, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen the newschool A-Team toys. No sign of them in my area yet.

Also, nothing new to report on Montreal's South Shore. Still haven't seen that newfangled Lockdown deluxe wave.

The Lockdown wave never showed up at TRUs around here, only Walmart. Do you guys have Walmart in Quebec?
