That’s a sweet look!

Toysrus Canada will be Getting the Target Exclusive Siege Multipacks and New Micromasters Sightings

Exclusives are the bane of any international collector. Whenever an item is not part of the mainline, all anyone cares about is how hard it will be to track down. And it's not simple since exclusives only get distributed if Hasbro finds a willing retailer. With Target having failed in Canada, it's never sure if a Target exclusive will make its way there. So it is good news to learn that the Siege Target exclusives will be distributed in Canada through Toysrus. This was already the place where the now surfacing Battle Damaged Studio Series Megatron was found, along with the Studio Series 15 Bumblebee, so we can see a trend.

The two Siege exclusives being referred to here are the Seeker three pack and the Micromaster ten pack. The ten pack has just been found in Montreal, Quebec. It is currently on sale for $47 but has a regular price of $60. The sighting comes to us from Gunslinger over at Cybertron.ca. Speaking of Micromasters, the wave 3 bots (ex: Blackjack) have been found in a Quebec City Walmart. The Seeker three pack will be coming soon, but has yet to be found.

Good luck to all Canadians on this hunt.

Come on man, I wrote a whole article about exactly what was confirmed. Is it really not clear? I am asking because if its not, then I will edit it.

People only look at photos and don’t read the articles.

Or it could be like the Fargo–Moorhead Target stores, where they have apparently removed all Transformers toys from the shelves [sniffle]

Brickseek’s saying the Walmarts here in El Paso have them in stock, but given how frustrating it was for me to find G1 Soundwave and gang, I just ended up ordering one online. That way it’ll save me gas instead of futilely driving all over the place in 100 degree desert heat.

Found this yesterday when I went to my Walmart

20190805_163940.jpg


He was put onto the 29.99$ Voyager pricepoint.

I tried that thing with Walmart where they sell you the item at the price it is was placed on...

It worked :-D

Jetfire is an amazing figure in hand, btw.

Yeah, I'm just shocked. I got him yesterday, and I was worried to get a toy swap because of the tape on top.

Turns out I had nothing to worry about, and Siege Jetfire is just as amazing as everyone said he was.

He was alot lighter than I expected, though.

When do you ever find a figure under the correct price point at retail?

I took him out from the shelf for a clearer picture. I have a picture of him with the price, but it's not on my phone right now, so I'll get it later.

For reference, it was in front of where Rampage is sitting right now.

Was in cambridge today and went to Forbidden Planet. They got Refraktors (about six of them) and a few Red Alerts.

They've restocked these Titans figures at a cheaper price

and there's two dead Transformers in cardboard coffins for sale too.

(also that's a lot of money for a fancier redeco of the Jazz mold you can literally buy for £6.99 in some places)


I asked when Springer is due and they said he's disappeared from the website so likely not getting him in stock at all and I shouted that he was pretty much the only Siege figure I had real interest in handing over money for and then I stomped out of the store in a mood.

Strange, wonder what happened to make them not bother ordering springer in at all, yet still get the corresponding Deluxe wave in

This used to remind me the good old TRUs. Wish they were still around. Nowadays, I barely see TF figures in most stores.

No doubt there will be nothing at the forbidden planet near me. Passed on £37 for shockwave, still vastly overpriced when a superior ko mp can be bought for less.

I once found a giant stuffed pink hippo that was marked $20 on the shelf. Turns out it was actually $50 and just in the wrong place, but they still gave it to me for $20. A lot of the time stores just don't care as long as you buy something

Thank you for letting us know. Can you report this in the South Carolina topic in the sightings forum?
