Ditto. I went to Zellers today b/c it seems to be movie central from all the sightings. Nothing. Not even the preview figures which everyone else has.

Though I did pick up GF Optimus Prime for about $40. Not too bad.

20th Prime is on sale for $60 at TRU if it hasn't already been mentioned.

Softimus and Slumblebee at TRU as well.

Looks like most of the stores are back to holding the street date with the occasional slip.

Lots of 6" Rodimus, Starscream and RID PRime too.

South Common Walmart (Erin Mills / Burnhampthorpe) has tons of the preview figures. Mixed in with them was 2 of Fast Action Battlers Jazz and Iron Hide. I don't think I'd seen them around before.

I didn't pick them up as they didn't look good to me.

Sheridan Place Zellers (Erin Mills/QEW) had the same stuff as last time (basically all the movie stuff except the deluxe figures).

Zellers also had the Unleashed figures and a few more voice changer helmets

I created a thread for this but I think I should have just posted in here. Didn't know this thread existed.

I went to Wal-Mart in Abbotsford, BC to see if they had any of the early release Deluxe figures. They did not but they did have 3 Voyager figures. 2 Blackouts and a Ratchet. I picked up one of each.

There was also an optimus blaster and a FAB Jazz.

I'll be checking Wal-Mart and TRU in Nanaimo over the weekend.

Sherway TRU had all the movie deluxes this afternoon. I took a Wreckage, Brawl, and Barricade (can't remember if there were any more left). But I did leave a couple of Jazz and Bumblebee, and one Scorponok.

I saw the stomping prime and bumblebee...

Brossard TRU has some Deluxes. I might check again tomorrow to see what's left.

Just picked up Wreckage and Jazz at TRU. I like Wreckage, but I can't seem to get him to look upward at all. Haven't opened Jazz yet. If I like him, I might go back and get "74 Bumblebee and Brawl.

On a side note, anyone else hate the packaging on these? I mean they all use the same card. Decepticon logo on the front. And just pics of the assortment in both modes on the back. Even the Autobots have the Decepticon logo. That's gonna confuse some dumb parents.

I'm also not a fan of the tri lingual packaging. I managed to find the protoforms in the US packaging in Mississauga, but all of my other Deluxes are the crappy tri-bullcrap. I personally don't like Jazz, I think they really dropped the ball on him. Wreckage I love and the others are sub par. Barricade is too boring plus his lack of "hands" makes it very G2, brawl has major shoulder issues and Bumblebee would be a lot better if it weren't for his feet and his shoulder cannons. Scorpionk somehow comes out on top of this all if you just leave him as a scorpion. Don't bother hooking it up to blackout either, you'll just sit there for hours thinking "What the hell?"

I checked again today, Brossard TRU [Quebec] has some movie Deluxes: Bumblebee, Jazz, Scorponok, Brawl, and Barricade. Personally, I don't like any of them but I might get the Bumblebee because I want to build an army of yellow cars (it's for a movie project, stop looking at me like that).

I also noticed that the Mini-Con 2-Packs from the Cybertron line have been reduced in price to something somewhat reasonable: half of whatever the price was in the first place.

The price could be 50% off zero and I still wouldn't buy them. That air team angers up my blood.

They have TONS of wave 1 deluxe movie figures at nanaimo TRU. I got barricade, brawl and jazz.

Same at Metrotown Zellers. Almost all out of Classics... that makes me sad.

Anybody know what the Cybertron/Classics situation is at Broadway?

No no, I said CYBERTRON minicon 2-Packs, not the godawful CLASSICS minicon packs.

I've still yet to see a Classics Ramjet anywhere. Does anybody know if there has been any sitings in Canada yet? I'm already seeing movie toys so does that mean I missed out?

I saw him at my local The Bay and Sears, as well as a specialty toy store in Montreal, but that's it. Not at TRU, not at Zellers, not at Walmart.

Wow, I Just saw a ramjet toy somewhere recently. Its hard to say where because I visit like every department store twice a week. I think abbotsford zellers but I'm not sure.

Ages Three and Up has several Ramjets, and I think a few Grimlocks as well.

Interesting. Well, I guess he is around somewhere. Thanks, I guess I'll just keep checking.

The TRU in LaSalle had some Robot Heroes two days back, but they were gone when I checked this morning. They've got movie deluxes up the wazoo though.

Not much left in terms of Classics, just Astrotrain, Bumblebee, Prime & the Megatron/Prime 2-pack. They had a Starscream, but I fixed that good. Jetfire appears to have flown off the shelves - he was popping up here and there last week, and now he's just gone.

The last time I saw a Ramjet was at the Zellers in Angrignon mall, but I picked it up and haven't seen another anywhere else since.

Can any one tell me where to find Bonecrusher in the lower mainland of BC.

I think they had him at the TRU at Metrotown Mall in Burnaby. Agesthreeandup also received a shipment but the boxes aren't opened yet so I don't know what the assortment is, and they're definitely not for sale yet.

But before you rush all the way out from Abbotsford, I'd give them a call, or if you want I can check on my way home tonight.
