Well I went to my TRU and the funny thing is that the main Transformers Movie Aisle was completely empty(a.k.a. All they had were Protoforms and Wreckages), but the main Transformers Aisle was filled with a crapload of movie toys. Unfortunately I don't think my TRU got Wave 2 of the Movie line yet, But I did pick up Movie Bonecrusher(holy crap, his Bio really makes him seem like a heartless mofo), aswell as the Blackout & Scorponok 2-pack.

What's the regular price for the Voyager class in Canadian? Cause I only payed $30 for the two-pack and i'm sure I somehow saved money.

(Oh, and I found 3 Alternator Meister(Jazz)s there, gonna buy those next week. Is Alternator Meister any good?)

Meister is awesome, but I recommend buying him sooner rather than later, to avoid disappointment. Then you should get the G1-esque labels from http://reprolabels.com to complete the awesomeness. Seibs has a gallery, if you haven't seen it already.

You did save money (me too, I also got the 2-pack), as regular voyagers are $29.99 her in Canada.

Wow, I pretty much got the Scorponok for free!

And I also forgot to ask this, but is $32 a reasonable price for an Alternator?

Yup, free Skorponok.

I hope we get more 2-packs up here.

$29.99 (+tax) is MSRP for an Alternator here in Canada, so yes, it's reasonable. It's pretty hard to find them that cheap on eBay, so I'd recommend getting it at retail prices.

Yeah the 2-pack is a pretty good deal, I regret passing on it when I saw a ton at Toys 'R Us but I already bought Blackout and it's totally worth it anyway.

I got my Blackout for $25.50 CAD though.

Well i was actually quite surprised to see 3-4 two-packs that were still there.

And since this is a Canadian thread? Can anyone tell me why in the world the Titaniums in Canada have red packaging around it, instead of the cool packaging the Americans get?

Because the American packages are not bilingual, which is a requirement for sale here. Unfortunately, Hasbro was too cheap to translate the nice packaging, so we got a lame generic one. Since I only care about boxes for transportation purposes, it doesn't bother me too much.

Hmm.. I guess that explains alot. Seeing as the Canadian Movie Toys Packaging doesn't have the tech specs on the back of the cardboard, but have it on the back of the Instructions.
