The Energon Pub

william-james88 wrote:I was just wondering, has anyone seen the Walmart exclusive AOE figures in Canada yet? I have only ever seen the 3 pack with Strafe and the 2 legion characters, along with the individual legion repaints. But I never saw the Beastwars and Energon repaints. Have they only appeared in the states so far?

i was actually going to ask that myself. i havent seen anything yet personally.

id like to report that canadian targets have been pulling their weight lately. i found the windblade assortment over a month ago, and last night i spotted voyagers roadbuster and skybite, and legends acidstorm and gears.

On my end, the only new things at Target are the scout"minicon 2 packs of that blue/white car and that insecticon.

For a limited time, at Walmart online , Predaking Platinum is on sale at 100$CAN!

Also, worth noting is the exclusive 1step AOE Stinger figure. On sale at 8$. Available only online.

I felt I would regret missing out on Predaking so I zapped my credit card. While I'm at it, I bought 2 stingers. One for play, one to keep sealed.

Also, let me point out that Walmart are not asshats and allow Predaking to be sold in Quebec. Now, if only they could take over the MP line...

I called Walmart today to ask about Predaking and sure enough he is in their quebec warehouse and will ship out to quebec. I asked if this was going to be a one time thing with exclusives and they said they would want more to compete with toysrus, which is AWESOME news.

Walmart and Target have been kicking ass today. Walmart has Jetfire at 30$ and Target was glad to match the online price (even if Jetfire is sold out at Walmart.ca).

Also, Target now has angry birds transformers telepods and I know for a fact that this is the first time they are in retail in Quebec (possibly Canada). I took a bunch of pics of what they offer with the price, which is the same as the american price but in american dollars (so technically cheaper). They also had a bunch of generations figures from previous lines at 10$ which is great since they are now selling for more online already (like generations thundercracker).

So, Will, I figure you got that FOC Thundercracker you wanted for a while?

I got orion pax instead

Instead? Didnt you want the trio of FOC seekers?
Anyway, Walmart shipped me my Stingers. I too, have to heard any news about Predaking.

Now, if only Walmart will start having Platinums, Masterpeices, and some other serious exclusives that come out en mass in Quebec, maybe that will show TrU we are a market worth selling to. For now, in TrU's eye's we Québécois are second class citizens.

I did want those, but better things have come along since then (Jetfire, Predaking, the G1 lot) and I now don't have that extra budget to warrant 2 new decos to a mold I already have.

All transformers are discounted at Toysrus today Friday the 28th of November 2014.

But the reason I am writing is because this also marks the day where Voyager Slog (and Drift) is now available online. I snagged them both at 20$ each.

http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=41392496&prodFindSrc=search&foreSeeBrowseSampling=15&foreSeeBrowseLoyalty=1&foreSeeEnabled=true

And the latest generations waves are now at Walmart all selling at 10$ (way better than the Windblade I paid 20$ to get earlier), I will post a picture when I get home.

Thanks for the hint, Will. I think I'll go take a look in store first before buying online. That voyager Dino is the only one missing to complete my fruity set!

Here is the pic:



What a sight to behold, this means that we are up to date with the US right now.

Also, while at 10$ none of these are bad bets, I do warn you guys of Windblade. She is probably the worst transformer I bought this year in terms of stability and structural integrity of the alt mode. None of the photos could have prepared me for the gaping hole in the jet's body. The robot mode is quite nice though.

Tankor and Rattrap were also available.

That's a good TrU you got there because the one in Laval is bare bone with ZERO Generations deluxes.

The picture is from the Walmart. There are no generations deluxes at the toysrus

WOAH DUDE! HOLD ON!

PM'd.

Hey guys, something odd has shown up on TRU.ca's website.

I dont know if they will still be there by the time you click the links, but there are 2 new listings. One for a "Transformers Generations Deluxe Class Maximal Figure" (rattrap) and another for "Transformers Generations Deluxe Class Figure Assortment" (which the description alludes to being combiner wars). And they can both be shipped home.

So it looks like TRU will be getting the combiner war toys before Chromia and Arcee.

well... thats vague

For one day only (today) Walmart has a special on the current Generations Legends class, Tailgate and Skrapnel 50% off. I have never seen this before. This makes it about the same price Kanrabat got them at target when the machine malfunctioned.

http://www.walmart.ca/search/transformers%20generations

Their Constructbot Dinobot sets (Grimlock, Slug and Strafe) are also on deep clearance (about 5$ each)

Once again,I know no one cares. But...

Titan Lockdown was not really in store much. He did make it to Winners at a reduced price.

You know, I read the threads and find it too bad that we dont have TJ Max or 5 below where I am but then again winners is pretty much the same thing.

Saw the one day sale at Walmart online.
Meh'd.

I went to TrU.ca and saw they had similar sales, except for TFs.
Bought the MLP Equestria Girls Photo Finish and Dazzling duo sets instead.

If only I would had bought Adagio Dazzle when I saw her in store... The aftermarket prices for her are MAD!

Buy 1 get 1 free for all transformers less than 26.99. Acrually, its for a bunch of brands and you are allowed to mix and match. Like say, buy a 20$ transformer and get a 20$ or less figure from Monster High (just a random example).

You forgot to say that this promo is happening at Target.
