Argh. If you guys don't even have it yet, it's going to be friggin Christmas by the time we get it over here... The movie was out nearly 2 months ago. Dammit Hasbro, you really dropped the ball.

/rant.

Actually, we've had Concept Camaro Bumblebee in the Vancouver area for a few weeks now. He's just insanely hard to find since he sells out within hours of being put on the shelf. Hopefully this will change once TRU starts bringing him in. They finally have Wave 2 deluxes (Bonecrusher/Swindle) so it won't be long now.

I'll talk to him for you SS. I like the idea of having a broken down provincial thread.

If you're looking for provincial threads, go to Cybertron.ca, a Canadian TF board:
http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=4

Colin and the gang to a bang up job with those forums. As it is an all Canadian site it makes more sense for them to have it broken up into provinces.

You got my vote for breaking it up by province. It would make it easier to confirm sightings at a quick glance.

I did hear reports of new Voyagers and possible BBs at TRU, but there was nothing when I went. They have do have a large amount of Bonecrushers & Swindles like you say, so yeah, hopefully soon.

Any sign of the Movie Robot Heroes in Canada yet?

Leader Brawl sighted and bought at Oakville Wal-Mart. Sorry to say it was the only one.

Brossard Walmart (South Shore of Montreal) restocked Voyagers, I snagged me the last Blackout (I need him for a customization project I'm working on with TheTouch).

Brossard TRU has nothing new, save for the movie prime pinata. If it had Concept Camaro Bumblebee in it, I would have bought it. The removed their TF area from the R Zone entrance, pegs, price tags and all.

This weekend will be the Renovation Sale doorcrasher at the Brossard TRU. The deals don't seem that good, but they will have the Platinum GameCube package on sale for $50 (one per family, of course). So if you want a 'Cube for 50 bucks and are in the South Shore/Montreal area, head down to the Brossard TRU on the morning of the 8th. Doors open at 9, so get there early/line up!

One more thing: SALE ALERT! (It's not much of a sale, but still...) I saw this in the TRU flyer this morning: from the 8 to the 21, Beatmix Bumblebee will be marked down by $10, bringing him to $44.97. So if that sort of thing is you back, this might be your chance to get him.

I'll go scouting other areas today, I'll let you know what I find. 1337W422102 out.

Well I picked up all the Trans Tech TFs at the Bay today. I was walking home and I took a closer look at them and their price tag of $24.99 + taxes and walked back and returned them all. Anyone else not overly impressed by these given not just their price but their overall inability to impress?

Transtech? You mean they released the series that took place after Beast Machines?

Sorry, I'm just not sure what you're talking about. I guess I haven't seen them yet.

LOL I was talking about these items actually (see attached pic). They had all five in the line (Digital Dagger, Tight Shot, Flash Bang, Quick Bow and one other that I forget) for $24.99 + tax I felt that it was just too pricey. Money better spent on other TF Movie items IMHO.

Oh, the T.E.C.H. stuff. I thought you mean Transtech... No wonder I was confused!

I have a feeling that your Bay simply mispriced them. Those can't be worth 25 bucks.

I would hope so. $24.99 was excessive. I may wait to see what Walmart and TRU prices them at and then decide at that time.

someone in the gta or vaughan see 08 bb? im willing to pay for shipping costs and figure cost...

I saw a litteral mountain of 08 BBs and quite a few Leader Brawls in Mississauga Burnamthorps wal-mart. I picked up brawl and he's as annoying as he is fun to transform!

I also picked up BT-18 Rajie fron Toy Square. Worth every penny.

He DID give you the location: the Mississauga Burnamthorps Wal-mart. Punch that into Google Maps and you'll find it, no sweat.

I also scored a Leader Brawl. Well pleased with him but I will keep him MISB on display. BT-18 is awesome. Can't wait for mine to arrive from TFSource.

Brossard Walmart (South Shore of Montreal) got the Concept Camaro Wave of Deluxes! TheTouch and I got the last 2 Bumblebees.

Voyagers Op and Megs are also available, as are Robot Heroes Bumblebee/Soundwave and Magnus/Megs.

Crap, I saw this too late! I'm still looking for Voyager Prime... hopefully we'll get them in quantity over here...

Well, I got bad news about the Brossard Walmart's new stuff. It's all gone, Jim.

Okay, not ALL of it, but both Leader Primes and bouth Voyager Primes are history, as are both Concept Camaro Bumblebees [1337W422102 high-fives TheTouch]. There's still at least 1 Dreadwing. I'm not sure how many if any Arcees are left.

As for the Robot Heroes, both Soundwave/Bumblebee packs are there, but there's only one Magnus/Megs pack left [1337 glances at his now complete Robot Heroes collection and awaits the Jazz/Thundercracker/Matrix/Unicron wave].

Just spoke to my friend at TRU in Toronto and he mentioned that the Ultimate BB has landed. I have one on hold and I will post some pics to prove this on this thread tomorrow when he is in hand.

This is great news for us Canuck fans who have seen this sought after figure released weeks ago in the UK and the US. Price point is high though at $110.00 CAD ($105 US) + taxes (ie. 14% in Ontario). Still cheaper to import it from the US and pay the shipping if one can be found at US retail cost.

Nothing special at the TRU in Thornhill Ontario as of 1pm today. Just a few voyager sets of Blackout and Scorp which you don't always see in abundance.

The Loblaws on High Tech road had a few deluxe Brawls and the usual Bonecrusher brigade.

EC

Found Longarm, Payload, and Final Battle Jazz at Sears Rideau Centre in Ottawa (picked up Longarm and Payload). First new toys I've seen in well over a month.

Brossard TRU has restocked Voyagers.

Brossard Bay (Champlain Mall) has nothing new.

Brossard Sears (Champlain Mall) got a crapload of new stuff!:

Robot Heroes:
- Soundwave/Bumblebee
- Megatron/Ultra Magnus
- Thundercracker/Jazz
- Unicron/Prime w/Matrix
(the Unicron wave has the Movie wave pictured on the back of the card)

Deluxes:
- Restock on Wave 1 (Classic Camaro, Barricade, Jazz, Brawl, didn't see Wreckage)
- Swindle, Bonecrusher
There were 1 of each of the following:
- Concept Camaro
- Arcee
- Dreadwing
- Payload
- Longarm (TheTouch bought him, though)

I think they might have also got some new LoCs.

All now gone except Payload. I checked yesterday. I want my concept Camaro.

It's the exact same way in LaSalle. Coin Du Jouet, Wal-Mart, Zellers - TRU - seems like every single store has evidence of recently had the latest waves in, but I always get there too late. I see an Arcee here, a Dreadwing there, but never BB. Sigh...
