I didnt forget. I made sure to precise the 2016 assortment of the subline, which the toy you mention was not part of.

This site gives TRU way too much credit.
TRU closing is last month's news. Everytime they increase the liquidation sale % it gets front paged even though all transformers remain only 10% off. Not to mention most TRUs have been cleaned out of everything transformers except one step changers. TRU shuts down online sales, it gets front paged. Some billionaire wants to save TRU, it gets front paged. TRU rejects his offer, it gets front paged. Now TRU gets a homage "Top 5" article. TRU is becoming the Donald Trump of Transformers journalism.
Can you guys please just let TRU take its last breath and die peacefully already?

Toys r us Canada is financially sound, profitable, and still very much alive and will continue to provide exclusive figures for collectors. Just because a liquidation company bought up all of the merch and isn't selling it for the Low, low price you want it to be doesn't mean that toys r us as a whole is done. I'm not sure you are aware of this but toys r us is very important to hasbro, tru is the biggest customer for hasbro and all if it's lines and with the loss of Toya r us Usa Hasbro will take a hit on sales. That is why this tru news keeps getting front paged, with lower sales Hasbro night cut back on the lines that make the least amount of profit for them...like transformers. Transformers is pretty far down the list in terms of profitable lines, way behind their board games, my little pony, Disney princesses and nerf. If Hasbro decides to go the cut back rout it would be very bad for transformers collectors.

I disagree with your logic. TRU is a toy store not a Transformers store. Sure Hasbro has a lot of money invested in TRU, but a lot of that money is invested in products that are not Transformers. What if Jeff Bezos decides to save TRU? Will we start seeing all kinds of Amazon news get front paged too? Will Amazons feud with Trump become front paged because it might raise toy prices? Do you see my point? Time to get back to the basics and just cover Transformers related news. Every time the CEO of TRU farts is not newsworthy.

Oh man thanks so much for this input. I tend to keep things as general as possible so a more regional perspective is really cool, and so are those toys. I bet Cobotron is drooling at the screen looking at all that clear plastic!
