STill no sign of anything new in my neck of the woods. I talked to a manager at a wal-mart close to my house and he told me they get about two skids worth of Transformers Movie toys off the trucks every night, and are gone within 24 hours. So I've more then likely missed Voyager megs a few times. Crap.

Aw man, you beat me to it (about the Orillia sights).

Oh, by the way, last Tuesday, 7.3.7, I saw a RiD Optimus at Zellers in Orillia & truth be told, I got it. I also saw a War Within Starscream.

The same day, at Wal-Mart in Orillia, I saw what Tusko saw in Orillia, but I managed to get one of The Fallen figures up there. They seem to have a large line of Movie figures up there, out of those, I got Leader Megatron, & Voyager Starscream, along with The Fallen.

To say it short, I was there before Tusko was. I'm not bragging, I was just making a statement.

Oh, & I'm new, but not new to Transformers.

LIES! I saw you in your tight construction gear and rainbow flag.

Ha! You saw nothing! I was wearing tight leather! Oopps, no, secrets back in the closet, back, back...

I was around Square One today... Nothing new, don't waste your time. Toys R Us Hurontario and Eglington was the same stuff too, except they had the wall statue of Optimus Prime, which I don't believe they had before (just the Megatron one).

Welcome to the board, ShiningKnightSilverbolt.

TRUs in the Lower Mainland have started carrying the Blackout/Skorponok 2-pack, if anyone hasn't gotten them yet. The cool thing is, it's the same price as a single Voyager, so you get a free Skorponok.

It's always good to see new hosers around here, eh kirb?

I didn't get a chance to go out today because it was raining hard, so I had to postpone my scouting until tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what I find.

Welcome to the boards!

I'm glad someone local is reading or at least is interested in my posts. Orillia and area receives stock a few days later than most it seems.

Oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah.

Y'know, eh?

Because of yours truly, the final TRU Soundwave in the lesser Ottawa region is now gone. **Pats box** The one on St. Laurent was sold out already when I went, so I headed to the one about 20 minutes away and picked him up. They did have both Megatron and Optimus wall statues, though.

There was a Movie Voyager Megatron in the LaSalle Wal-Mart this morning. Now there is not. **Pats other box** They had a Leader Megs there a week or so back, but a friend of mine snapped it up. Personally, I am happier with mine.

The Sears in Carrefour Angrignon had 2 Blackouts left, last I checked a few days back, so if you're missing him, this might be a good opportunity if you live in Montreal - he has flown off the shelves as far as I can tell.

Something I haven't seen anywhere at all so far is a Voyager Optimus. Is he even being sold on his own?

Come to think of it actually, I have not seen Leader Optimus in a few weeks. Uh-oh.

Glad to hear you made the most of your trip!

I'm about to punch you in your box

Hahaha, oh man, I can't find Voyager Megs for the life of me, but I have a good feeling about tomorrow. As for Prime, he's wave 3. Voyager Megs is wave 2.5. Then after that Canada is pretty dry until... oh I would say the Blackout re-paint and that f'ulgy Ospray from the movie makes the scene.

Holy crap, I haven't seen any new movie stuff since June 2nd in Moncton... no wave 2 ANYTHING!

The shelves on the huge display at Toys R Us are almost completely empty, but still no Bonecrusher, no Swindle, no Megatron (Voyager OR Leader), no new Robot Heroes, NOTHING!!!

This is really frustrating, I want a Bonecrusher

Have we even seen a robot mode for that guy? The alt mode looks really awesome to me.

Hey, just about all of the movie figures have nice alts, but a lot have ugly robot forms.

I saw the DS skins at the Brossard TRU today. The Brossard Wal-Mart had the Bumblebee and Prime movie keychains.

Yeah, yeah, but some of them look really cool. So unless he's one of those stupid drones, I'll probably want him.

So is there a bot mode yet, or no?

I'm not sure. Take a look at the Botcon pics, I remember seeing photos of the unpainted prototype. There might have been a bot mode shot there.

Just saw a Voyager Megatron at the Northland Mall Walmart in Calgary. Did a double take as I work in a TRU and we have yet to see any voyagers other than Ratchet/Ironhide/SS/Blackout.

Hey guys ,
Been a while nice to see the tread is still going on.

I have been building cars as of late but still collecting .

Has anyone come across the concept deluxe camaro ??

And you guys are gonna love the car I am building next .

A friend asked me to pick up a classics (reissue) Soundwave. Are there any left in Ontario at the TRU? Are they still being restocked or have they come and gone?
Thanks for any help.

I guess I'll do that if I'm really bored today.

Hey, I was in TRU yesterday, and I noticed a DISTINCT lack of Bumblebees... is he just popular after the movie, or was there some sort of recall? Although I doubt Hasbro would bother with something like that if it's not an issue of safety...

I haven't posted for what seems like a while. But it was worth it with what I found today.

It along with what seemed like dozens more are at Square One Zellers. They also had Dreadwing and Arcee.

Happy hunting!

THIS JUST IN! A new sale will be coming to Canadian TRUs!

It starts on the 14th and ends on the 20th.

Also gives me a chance to scope out TRU while I'm taking advantage of AgesThreeAndUp's summer sale!
