Of course, my local Winners should be called "Losers".

I wouldn't've had the guts to take a pic until it was safely paid for. You're a brave, brave man.

Is the color off on that Storm figure's photo or is she wearing a dark gray/black version of her silver costume?

Went to TrU today and they still don't have any Origins Bee. Yet they had 2 more (or was it 2 out of 4 from last week) World Collides 4 packs.

I'm so jealous of you Canadians. What's it like to actually have Transformers on shelves? I stopped at three WalMarts and a Target last week. Between those four stores, there were a total of six figures- 2 Wave 1 Kingdoms, and 4 Cyberverse Ultras.

Both Toysrus and Walmart Canada never stocked wave 1 kingdom deluxe figures on shelves. So you're lucky your stores didn't skip them.

Canada is currently playing catchup to the US in terms of recent toy sightings. The Kingdom wave 3 deluxes were found at Walmart along with the wave 3 RED figures. Toysrus is calling folks who preordered Kingdom Rodimus and the Ark. Speaking of the Autobot Ark, it is currently being offered for $190 CAD on Amazon.ca, with a delivery date of October 5. This is cheaper than all other retailers who offer it for upwards of $225 CAD.

Also available online right now for Canadians is Generetions Selects Transmutate which can be purchased right now for $34 on Toysrus.ca.

I cancelled my Jurassic Park X-Over set because even with the 35$ gift certificate, the price was still absurd. Then I cancelled the Ark, then reorder it again so that 35$ gift certificate apply. In the end, my Ark will cost me 184.02$CAN, shipped and taxed, compared to 287.44$CAN if bought at Walmart or Toys R Us.

Now THAT'S what I call savings! ;)^

------------

EDIT:

Well, the price just increased to 211$CAN since this morning. So I was just in time!

Were you?

While a lot of Canadians are waiting for a Origins Bumblebee to arrive at Toysrus, we have other Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys that arrived before it. That being the 3 two packs which Hasbro still has not revealed, we don't even have stock photos of these. They are Bumblebee vs Dropkick, Bumblebee vs Stinger and Bumblebee vs Barricade. All three have Bumblebee in the body he had when he first met these antagonists. This was sighted by me at a Toysrus in Montreal, Qc.

Winners is kicking it up a notch with Transformers. We had reported on Skylynx and now they have Generations Selects deluxe Hot House. That toy is priced at $20 CAD (about $15 USD). Generations selects toys are rarely seen at retail so finding one at a Market Six store like Winners (Canada's TJMaxx) was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Still missing out the Ark?
Don't be.

Especially at below 189$CAN as I write these lines.

I ordered Select Transmutate from TrU. I hate paying 34$+tx for a damn deluxe but what can I do...

Also, allow me to cheat a little bit by showing off the little extra that I got in order to get free shipping. I'm pretty glad they had that thing in stock!
That's way, WAY cheaper than BBTS and it's even a preorder over there!

Yeah, that castle is surprisingly reasonable in price and comes with a 15$ figure. For some reason they priced it as the US price but in CAD.

It's even cheaper. 85$CAN at TrU (available now) VS 95$US at BBTS (preorder).
For once, the LEAF is at an advantage! :APPLAUSE:

I always wanted that Castle Grayskull, but having the complete vintage one cost a zillion dollars. So when I saw it at that price at TrU, I knew that was my chance at last! :michaelbay:

We have news that Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Maximal T-Wrecks has been found at Canadian retail. Hunter X found him at a Toysrus in Ontario. While it is exclusive, there was no extra timed exclusivity like the Redcard exclusivity in the US. He is $72.99 CAD (around $60 USD) which is now the standard rate for leader class figures in Canada.

If you have found him, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sighting was originally posted here.

While the Transformers Generations Selects line is not exclusive for the most part, it is still tricky to find. Toysrus usually does stock them but it is not consistent and there is a bug in their system where if an order is not filled after a certain amount of time, the order will be cancelled automatically. This lead to cancellations of all preorders for G2 Ramjet in Canada from Toysrus and the store is currently doing a workaround where they will call people who preordered when the product comes in. But it's a wonky work around and not everyone has their Ramjets. BUT EB Games, which also had preorders, seems to have quite a few Ramjets to spare and the toy can currently be found in their stores ready for purchase by anyone. The price is $45 CAD but $40 with a platinum Edge card (so $32 USD). The one pictured below was found in the Montreal area and there were 8 available copies in store.

Interesting.

I won't pay 50$ for this, but normal voyager price is a go.

That would be really nice! I too, have Edge Platine, but distribution suck as always.

EB Games distribution is weird AF. You won't find the same assortment of collectables from store to store.
Although I learnt of a neat trick today. They can ship from one store to the other. So, for another time, if they don't have a toy you want, ask them to check which store has and ask them to ship it to your store. That's what I am doing for God Skelletor (an other decently priced Mattel MOTU toy).

This would be so Sweet to find at A local Gamestop.
But here in The Northern US., Good Transformers are A dime A Dozen. Your luck if 1 store out 6, gets A case of Voyagers or anything outside of Bayverse studio deluxe's. Or Walmart "exclusive" War For Cybertron horrid redeco deluxes. And than the 1 store that gets A good case of EARTHRISE OPTIMUS' or Voyager Cyclonus' & Hot Rod's you gotta be lucky enough to walk into it. Cause that juicy case is gone within 48 Hours Tops!
