1337W422102 can't get one because he lives in Quebec... maybe you could help him out?

Nah, don't worry, I'll probably get one when I travel this summer.

Hopefully you'll find one. I wonder how much TRU's are going to be restocking them? The initial ones flew off the shelf within a day.

Silver Snail. Though I've never been there myself, it seems to be the Transformers Mecca for Torontonians.

Yah, that store is awesome, but all of the Titaniums have been drained from there, as well as pretty much anything else. And all they have is the Movie Protoforms!

Every time I debate the merits of grabbing a bus to Ottawa to head to a TRU for Soundwave, I remind myself on the whole, EBay is probably cheaper. >_<

I don't know, they're overpriced to begin with, and then you have to add shipping on top of that... :ic$:

That's true. But a bus to Ottawa would be what from Montreal, thirty bucks? Add to that the cost of getting a cab to the nearest TRU, which is not near at all to the bus station if I remember correctly.... hell, the shipping charges alone might be worth the price to pay for avoiding the hassle...

Also, I'm gonna go ahead and duplicate this question, but for Montreal. The only one I know of is Legends action figures.

Legends is great. They sometimes have a deal where you can buy 2 3" Titaniums for $10. If you ask them nicely, they might give you the deal. Trust me! :grin:

Where is this Legends? Is it in Downtown?

Nope, it's on St. Hubert Street, near the Jean-Talon Metro station.

2 for 10 bucks, huh? Not too shabby at all. I'll have to head there again eventually, been a while. I hope they've got some 6'' titaniums other than Rodimus and Starscream; those two are the only ones I ever see anywhere.

But first I'll have to remember where it is. I remember it's not too far off a walk from one of the orange line stops, just need to remember which one.

EDIT: That's right, Jean-Talon. Booyah!

And it just occurred to me they could very well acquire Soundwave at some point. When I stopped in once, they had the reissued Inferno and Hoist.

Get off at Jean Talon, walk down a few streets. See the link I posted above.

I wouldn't count on eBay being cheaper. I've been watching auctions for years now and they only get more and more expensive. However, with all that traveling cost... maybe.

Bonecrusher and Swindle are out at Zellers. I grabbed the only Bonecrusher at the Square One Zellers and left the only Swindle. It's located on the middle aisle Transformers display.

Just need leader Megatron and perhaps '08 Camaro Bumblebee and I'll be done.

News Credits: 3 · by **XeroSyphon** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 3:01 pm

I found Wreckage, Skorponok, Jazz, and Brawl at Zellers today, so I bought them. I also saw '78 Bumblebee, and Barricade. But I had already bought the Versus pack from Wal-Mart the other day.

With my sister-in-law dropping off Starscream and Ironhide sometime this week. All I need to get is Bonecrusher, Megatron, and Swindle

I posted this on Cybertron.ca:

Movie stuff is at the Brossard Wal-Mart, Sears, and TRU.

Wal-Mart has Voyagers Ironhide, Ratchet, Blackout, and Starscream (I didn't check the price, though). They have Leader Prime for $10 less than Toys R Us. I also saw some Real Gear figures, including the Laserbeak one and the video camera, which weren't at the Brossard TRU. The only Deluxes I saw left were Brawl and Jazz. FABs, Legends (Ratchet was the corrected yellow version rather than the strong green one), and Cyber Stompers were also on their shelves, as were the Robot Heroes (which cost $2 less than at Toys R Us, so I picked up 3 packs).

The Sears at the Champlain Mall had various Movie stuff as well - Optimash Prime, a Barrel Roll blaster, Cyber Stompers, a few Deluxes, Voyager Ratchet, some Legends and some FABs.

Brossard TRU has Legends, FABs, Cyber Slammers, Wave 1 Deluxes, Voyager Ratchet (no other characters), Leader Prime, Robot Heroes, Real Gear (no video camera nor Laserbeark), some kiddie t-shirts and the Super Soaker, which actually looks surprisingly cool except for the low water capacity...

So, if you're on the South Shore (more specifically in the Brossard area), get on out there!

Dude, you are hooked up!! You always find the sales, it's awesome!

I have to get a leader prime if he's going for that price. Looks like I'm getting up early Saturday morning.

Just found Movie Ironhide and Starscream at Wal-Mart, which is odd, because they didn't get Ratchet or Blackout (already have them though, so no big deal). Other than the Legends, FABs, etc...(still no deluxes though...), they had some new 6" Titaniums: Cheetor and the Fallen. Have to wait for the next paycheck for the Fallen, does anyone have an opinion about Cheetor? It looks loads better than the old supreme.

PS. Starscream is huge! He's like twice Blackout's width, I love it!

It's all about the flyers, man. Whenever I find out about a sale, I report it to you guys as soon as I can!

It's damn tempting, but I want to see if they'll make a repaint of him, kind of like what they seem to be doing for Jazz, Starscream, and Ratchet.

They better still have Robot Heroes by the time I get there!

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 5:01 pm

Hmm. Yeah, that's a good point, about the repaint. But I missed my chance on Cybertron Galvatron, and I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I can always keep the box and sell him off if they make a better repaint.

lol, or maybe someone would be willing to trade him for the Galvatron I so foolishly missed. :lol:

Thanks for the sale tips once again.

I gotta report that Wal-mart got hooked up with the Barricade-Bumblebee 2 set, while they also got a Megatron-Optimus ugly packaging, ugly figures 2 set with a bonus 2 mini-cons.

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 6:04 pm

Any fellow Canucks spot the Leader Megatron yet?

I'm hoping I can get my paws on him during the sale this weekend, but if nobody's seen him yet, I won't get my hope's up - however, my Toys R Us has been excellent lately, and it seems they're early with alot of stuff, so here's keeping my fingers crossed...

i was at TRU in Coquitlam before closing on Thursday night and spotted 1 Voyager IronHide at the TF Display! Needless to say I scooped him up! FYI.....the G1 Soundwaves are gone.....none left!

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 3:27 pm

Hey!

Now that I got your attention, if any Canadian finds an extra Leader Megatron on sale this week, could they let me know? I might ask him or her to pick it up for me and ship it, it'll still end up being cheaper than finding it in stores in a week at full price. It would be greatly appreciated...

The only way I'll ever get that toy is if I can get it for at least 20$ off... thanks everyone!
