Deluxes are $ 11.92 USD, for instance which is the equivalent to $8.72 USD

That's not right. I have it on good authority that $11.92 USD is NOT equivalent to $8.72 USD. More like equivalent to $11.92 USD. :DANCE:

Anyway, I don't think I've seen hardly any CW stuff at all in our Walmarts, so even if they follow suit in America, meh.

Something funky must have been put in the Canadian water, because ToysRUs has now decided to follow Walmart's price drop for Combiner Wars Legends, Deluxes and Voyagers. In store and online, a deluxe is now priced at $11.99 CDN (9.28 USD) and voyagers are priced at $19.99 CDN (15.47 USD). These are not discounts but price drops and this is for all waves one may find in stores. Several stores have not updated their prices on the shelves, but as the bill below will attest, the price change has been done in their systems. They are not advertized or promoted in the flyer or on the website either. As for online, only Cyclonus and the wave 4 deluxes are available, with Onslaught listed as not in stock (yet).

This means that the two biggest Hasbro retailers in Canada have drastically lowered their prices for these Combiner Wars toys.

Happy Hunting!

You cant, its not in the flyer, you can only raincheck weekly specials. This isnt a discount but a new price.

Is ok, I still have my rainchecks for 22$ :DANCE:

But seriously, if they changed all their prices o the computer then he should still be this price when he comes out. He's listed at that price online right now.

Alright thanks for that heads up. Anyways after some digging she's street dated for in store on the 15th, for those like me that didn't know.

Luckily that's a Sunday and I always work those :twisted:

Sorry I can't post those pics, might be a nono for me

Also came across Onslaught and Scattershot the other week at my store, but there was only one of each, and grabbed Onslaught

thats the prices these crappy figures should have been from the start. its amazing how hasbro cheaps out of the plastic and qc on this line, yet the were costing close to 20 a pop. :HEADHURTS:

by **morqubus** » Fri May 06, 2016 6:10 pm

Funny in my area they just raised the price for deluxes to $23 american.

wow really, i feel for u man. These figures are pretty lousy, i dont care for the indvidual modes esp. if u compare them to the generations line u are left to wonder, wtf happened :HEADHURTS:

I betcha it's to make room for Titans Return. If the States follow suit, I might go back and get some I passed on.

it is for room for titans return, but still cw stuff was pretty crappy for the price, esp next to how awesome generations figures are.

Really, compared to these?

Transformers Generations Tankor Gallery

Transformers Generations Nightbeat Gallery

Transformers Generations Scoop Gallery

And these were so freaken tiny, and talk about cheap plastic:

Transformers Fall of Cybertron Shockwave Gallery

I mean look how short they had gotten compared to earlier generations deluxes:

When talking quality and size, CW beats those generations toys out of the water.

In my opinion, the weakest TF's in the past 4is years were FOC Jazz and Grim. Not that I mind them personally. But aside from the mold abuse in CW, I think its been a friggin solid line.

Hopefully US based TRU stores will follow suit. There's a reason why nobody is buying the deluxes at TRU. It's because they're $18 apiece! See my Death Tweet regarding their overstocking on 'Stomp & Chomp' Grimlocks. They never seem to learn. They stock tons of figures that nobody wants and wind up having to unload them at a loss because they charged too much for them initially and turned them all into shelf warmers.

While figures have def shrunk, and this gen line def was the weakest. They were still better in terms of qc and i personally like them more in respect to cw. Much better bang for your buck.

Now THAT is real shelfwarming. None of that modern "They haven't sold any XYZ since I was here yesterday!" kind of crap I see a lot of people complain about.

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.

yeah, I totally get that That Bot. It pisses me off too when I see that written especially when its the latest case assortment :BANG_HEAD:

But this stomp and chomp clearly did not get ordered by the store last week.

While I am here, to my fellow Canadiens, I found Leader Skywarp at TRU.

Well darn, I thought someone would have already beaten me to that, since I found Leader Skywarp last week! Upside to working in the loading bay at a toy store, I get to see them all roll out (no pun intended)

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