I didn't know that DOTM Wheeljack wasn't out yet, but I Saw Wave 5 at Coquitlam Centre Zellers about a month ago, and assumed he was coming sooner or later.

Guess we don't really need to bother about that, then.

True, wave 5 did come out recently. I dunno, I was going to say their release schedule seems pretty wonky, but I don't think they really stick to any sort of schedule here. It's just...whenever they finally get rid of enough shelfwarmers to make space for new stuff.

Aw, Christ. If that's true, then we'll never see 'em.

Well, TRU seems to be clearing out DOTM deluxes at Bowmac at least, so here's hoping.

Allegedly, the Kup/Warpath/Wheeljack Deluxe wave hit the Walmart in Dix-30 in Brossard on Montreal's South Shore. The day after they were sighted, only 'Jack remained. 2 Wheeljacks, $8 each. Not bad!

The Brossard TRU has plenty of Prime Deluxe figures. Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Starscream are in ample supply, but there are only about 2 Arcees left. No Voyagers yet.

Oh dude. I am jealous. The only Prime figure I've been able to pick up so far is the pink Arcee from the NYCC pack. I want CJ and Bulkhead so bad.

Surprisingly enough we got the newer Generations figs for cheap too, at least before the vultures descended upon them. Luckily (?) for me, I got them from BBTS long ago.

Me too. And according to my LCS, the last wave (featuring Sky Shadow and Junkheap) is showing up this week. Incidentally, I found wave 5 at the nearby Zellers @ Haney Place a few weeks back, making it the first time I've seen any Generations figures beyond Wave 3 anywhere outside of specialty stores.

Now, if Hasbro can get off their butts and get DOTM Wave 6 out there so I can get Wheeljack, I’d be happy as a clam.

Say what? I need to get a hold of Sky Shadow & Junkheap!

I think we can arrange something.

I saw the Generation One Monopoly came at the Winners in Place Alexis Nihon in Montreal for $35, I think, marked down from $50. If you guys are looking for it, it might be a good idea to hit up a Winners or two. "You should go" indeed.

That would be awesome, thanks!

Sadly, they don't have Junkheap anymore. I'm sure they still have Sky Shadow, though I'm not sure. I'll check again later this week and report back.

And also...anyone know when TRU Express packed up and left Lougheed Mall?

Pretty soon after Boxing day I think. Too bad, I wanted to visit Lougheed soon.

Anyone seen the Alliance Soundwave in CDN stores as yet? Haven't see him anywhere!

Haven't seen anything new 'round these parts since those Prime cartoon guys were released.

Same over here. They showed up about 2 weeks before Christmas and were entirely gone by boxing day. Luckily I managed to pick up most of them, and someone helped me get ahold of Voyager Prime, but I missed out on Cliffjumper. Shelves are still empty...

Though I do hear that Superstores are stocking the later HAs, but they haven't got to Soundwave yet.

Sorry to hear you couldn't score a Cliff. I got him, Arcee, Bumblebee, Optimus, and Bulkhead, and I really enjoy Cliff more than I thought I would. And damn, is that one sweet-ass car mode.

Yeah, the worst part is I probably could've found one but I was trying to save money for Christmas, and thought they'd restock. Stupid move on my part. He was one of the figures I wanted most out of the line. Hasbro's toyline decisions have been really stupid lately... they overstock crappy shelfwarmers and make the actual desired stuff extremely limited.

Not to mention distribution sucks and the stuff you actually want to buy either never comes out here or it's in such tiny numbers that unless you drop by the TRU on one specific day, they're all gone.

I know what you mean about wanting to save money for Christmas, and I felt the same way, but damn it, they were all on sale and I knew I wouldn't see them again (being TRU-exclusive First Edition figures, Bulkhead being shortpacked, and this being Canada), so I grabbed them all... overspending in the process.

Yeah, I really should've just went and got it. But of course because they were on sale people (and scalpers) were hoarding all the good ones. So they'd have a full selection at 1pm and by the time you'd get there at 5:30 there'd be nothing left but Bumblebees and maybe an Arcee if you're lucky.

I think Arcee was shortpacked. If not, damn, was she popular and moved fast in my area.

Yeah, they had 4 freakin' Bumblebees to a case and I think 1 or 2 of the other ones... Or maybe it was 4 Bee, 3 Starscream and 1 Arcee, I can't remember.

I managed to get 2 each of Bumblebee & Arcee and 1 Starscream because I was giving them to a friend for Christmas. I'm personally skipping out on Starscream intentionally to wait for the Voyager. I also picked up an extra Bee to exchange for a CJ, if I ever get the chance again...

Awesome line though. Bulkhead is exceptionally cool and even Voyager Prime is impressive. Haven't opened Bee or Arcee but I already have NYCC Arcee as well.

Prime deluxes are @ Ages Three and Up...if you feel like spending $45 for them.

Also, went to TRU Metrotown for the first time in a while to see their TF section utterly decimated. Between this and TRU Express Lougheed closing, I'm having very serious doubts as to whether or not I'll be able to complete my Movie figure collection by getting Wheeljack.

I'm sure they'll get it in eventually. It is DOTM after all.

Well, we never got that moviefied Lockdown wave here. Or the Scout Powerglide. (Go figure, eh? The only moviecrap I wanted... )
