Also, after months of searching, I finally found RID Minicon Ratbat x.x

I am sure I am not the first to have seen it in stores, but I thought it was worth a mention since it was the first time I saw him.

Yeah, probably not. Last week was the first time I saw him too. Before that, nothing but Starscreams for months.

Has anyone seen the Sky Reign limbs lately though? I only saw the one shipment a couple of months ago, haven't seen any since at any stores

Looks like your store has quite a few Menasor box sets.... (90s!)

I dont see it, espcially when I think of the hip missassembly for Skids and the terrible heel problem with Windblade.
But what the heck, agree to disagree.

lol, well we both have any very different experinces with those figures. never had those issue with skids. the heel issue with windblade wasnt as bad on mine, she stands fine. Im hoping titans returns line makes up for any issues i had in the cw line, and issues u had with the gen line lol.

till all are one.

Finally found Combiner Wars Warpath and Wreck-gar at work the other night. Thank goodness for the price cut and employee discount

Also anyone in the Ottawa area interested in Onslaught and/or Scattershot, Toys R Us at St. Laurent got some in

So, I can forget to ever see it at 20$ over here...

Its listed online, it should be available shortly. You can then simply buy that and a leader and a leader for free shipping and then bring the leader back in stores for a refund.

But there should be on on shelves soon, did you ask if it was available in the back? Because my TRU got a pack of Onslaught and Scattershot.

There have been quite a few sightings concerning new toys found at Canadian retail, specifically Toysrus. Here is a rundown of what is now available in stores:

For Robots in Disguise, the latest Minicon 4 pack has been found, featuring the very first weapon minicon.

Speaking of Robots in Disguise, the series 5 Tiny Titans figures are also on shelves:

More importantly, Canada has Legends Wreck-Gar now and for only $7.99 cdn.

Several Canadians have also finally found Onslaught at Toysrus as well, like Kanrabat, who's haul is below, Downshift and your truly.

The great thing is that all these new Combiner Wars releases are at the new low prices with Onslaught being 19.99 instead of 29.99. The bill below is actually of Onslaught and the four Combaticons which have sporadically been on the shelves among the immense restock of wave 4 2015 Combiner Wars figures.

Here is a look of what the shelves look like right now.

In my huntng quest, I went to 3 TrU and one Walmart. I saw only ONE Onslaught by pure luck and no Wreck-Gar at all. The only wave of CW deluxes are the Optimus Maximus wave.

I also saw these guys at all the TrU:

20$CAN each.
Not too shabby, but these new molds with a bajillions accessories don't interest me.

That's more Transformers than I've seen in two Walmarts, a Target and a Toysrus combined.

Toysrus Canada currently has the deal of the decade for Transformers toys. It was reported recently that both Toysrus and Walmart had dropped the prices for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Legends, Deluxe and Voyager figures. Now, Toysrus has a Transformers brand wide sale of everything below $59.99 cdn at 25% off. And it includes the figures with the recent price changes. Meaning that right now, this is the price Toysrus is offering the following toys in stores and online:

Generations Combiner Wars Legends for $ 5.97 ($4.55 USD)
Generations Combienr Wars Deluxe for $ 8.97 ($6.83 USD)
Generations Combienr Wars Voyager for $ 14.97 ($11.40 USD)

As can be seen in the picture below, Toysrus stores have restocked with the Bruticus wave. That means that today, you can own a complete Hasbro Bruticus for $50 cdn (that means $39 USD) plus taxes.

There is also a 50% sale on Leader Class toys where you can now get Starscream, Skywarp and Ultra Magnus (or whoever else your store has) for $29.97 cdn ($22.80 USD). Aside from the special for the Leader Class toys, a raincheck is available for this 25% off deal.

Here are more pictures regarding these deals:

Although the Bruticus parts are starting to show up in some quantity in stores, it's not available online. And many have a very hard time to find a Skylynx, which I happen to LOVE after the tightened the feet and some paint work.

Shockwave is crazy hard to find too. But the rainchecks really help when they arrive... hopefully.

*sigh* It's times like this when I wish I lived in Canada. Meanwhile my Target still has the 84 bots at full price. They've been there since November.

Haha! This really is just how my luck goes.

Having pretty much given up hope that Onslaught was even getting a Canadian release, I figured I had nothing to really lose by picking one up during a trip to Seattle last weekend.

Whoops.

Now what are the chances of Sky Lynx ever receiving a wide release? And what are the chances of me paying too much for one just days before it sees a wide release?

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Fri May 20, 2016 6:20 pm

At the Laval TrU, I report a full stock of:

Leaders: Ultra Magnus and Starscream

Voyagers: Cyclonus and Hotspot

Deluxes: ALL combaticon limbs.

The remaining RID figures are a few $ off as well.
