I'm conflicted. To wait for a sale and risk missing out, or to buy it now at full 35$CAN?

Or have a buddy give you a raincheck when he meets you next week.

It can make a pretty kick ass pose right?

No problem. And yes, I do believe this is on of the figures that could be gone before getting wind of a sale, which was the case for Leader Megatron in G1 deco.

On the one hand, I hate it that these awesome figures are so hard to find in the EU, on the other hand, if they were, I'd have some serious issues with the wife

Maybe it's for the best...

Willy J, he takes such a great commanding stance, esp w those slight ankle tilts.

And I agree about staying in good standing w the wife Sjeng. I always have to do my best to spread out my Tf purchases.

Had some good luck last two days hunting for TR figures. I got Sentinel Prime, wave 1 Titanmasters, Hardhead, and Skullcruncher. Fort Max and Computron should be on their way early next week as well.

Just need to nab a Galvy and Wheelie, possibly Blaster, and I think that wraps up Titans Return for me until the next wave of deluxes and voyagers are released.

Believe it or not there is such a thing, but its more of the italians who chose to stay in canada rather than go to new york with the rest. We do have a "sixth" family here. And while I am Italian, I dont know them at all.

Back to rainchecks. When TRU has a sale and the product you are looking for isnt there, I go to the return/help desk and I show them the flyer along with the code for the toy I cant find. Tranasformers come in assortments so while they can tell that some of the assortment is in store, it is very probable that the toy you want in that assortment is not there. So they give me a raincheck that is good for 3 months like that if ever I do find that item, I can get it for the sale price.

The fun thing though is that the assortment code is what they keep for the whole line. So its not just all the TR wave 1 deluxe toys that have the same code, its ALL TR deluxe toys. So my raincheck can be used for toys that didnt even come out yet since they are all part of the same assortment :DANCE:

Thats how it works in Canada, dont know about the US.

Oh YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read em and weap em, that is a TR Sentinel Prime from Toysrus at $9.99 CAD ($7.59 USD). I wasnt gonna get him (was gonna wait for Astrotrain), but hell I aint gonna argue at that price. I get to try the mold out earlier than expected, have another prime and have another TR body/head to mess with.

Also got the wave 2 titanmasters.

I only want one of each retail titanmaster vehicle (I will break that rule for exclusives), and I already have crashbash.

Bumblebee21 wrote:Mr raincheck

Hahaha, this was better than that. These toys were never at 9.99, the lowest was 19.99 (which is what I got Galvatron for, thanks to a raincheck). I got this toy because the 19.99$ price was still there but the toy was scanning at 29.99 (the real price). We have a regional consumer protection law that states that if the items scans for more than the displayed price, then we get it for 10$ less than the displayed price. So 19.99-10= $9.99 :DANCE:

Doest happen often (like once every 2 years) so I better enjoy it.

The mail we had held during vacation arrived today. Had a couple of boxes in it. Found drift this morning at target, and had to get another 1 step Quill fire since the boys keep fighting over the one they already have.

Daaaang Will. I'm skipping him too but at that price I couldn't say no.

One time someone at Target must've messed up because some warrior Gold Armor Grimlocks were on clearance for $5, not long after they were released either and I grabbed one of them.

Thanks. I had never mentioned it before since it was from before I had joined and how you got Sentinel reminded me of it.

Hey look I got an actual NEW Transformer toy rather than a second hand one.

He's... ok. Several things annoy me about him, his head (the headmaster thing definitely spoils the figure in it's bad design and limiting the articulation), his abs, his tank tread bits, his cannon placement on the arm (why put it somewhere that blocks his elbow articulation when it could have gone on the side and it blocks his hands since they don't have wrist swivels), spaceship mode results in huge cockpit kibble on his back. He's ok other than those things I suppose. Far better than the Universe deluxe figure anyways (not that it takes much)

I got lucky with the price a bit cos it was supposed to be £24.99 (and came through the checkout as such) but the shelve had been labelled £22.99 which is turns out upon closer inspection to have been a label for RiD Deployer thingies but the kind people at Toys R Us Cambridge let me have it for £22.99 anyways cos of their 'error' in labelling.

There was no sign of any Deluxes (I was looking for Hardhead mainly) and while they had some of the smaller figures (Wheelie, Stripes, Rewind), none of those appealed to me and thought I'd get Galvy particularly as he was the only larger Titans figure there.

Also got a cool MegaBloks TMNT2 set for £4 from Asda that has Bebop, Casey Jones and Bebop's motorcycle... and well.. I took the Bebop head... and I present to you... Galvabop?
