The Energon Pub

So, perhaps some of the more seasoned collectors here can help me out.

Generations Scourge and Kup have been available in the US for a while now, while the earlier wave (with Cybertronian Cliffjumper, etc.) has been on store shelves for at least as long up here in Canada.

When can I expect Scourge to start showing up on shelves here in Canada? I'm desperately seeking one (as I'm sure many others are) to display alongside Universe Galvatron and Cyclonus. I don't often have the opportunity to go store-to-store but I've been making a whole lot of fruitless trips to TrU and others hunting for this guy. Am I looking too early? Has Scourge shown his face anywhere in Canada yet, and if not, when should I expect to see him?

I don't want to order online except as a last resort (since with shipping I'll end up paying twice as much, and then of course I'll find him everywhere) so any help from my fellow Decep... uhh I mean Canadians would be greatly appreciated!

Mate, whilst I know nothing of the TF market in Canada, have a link that might help;

Wow, that should be very helpful. Thanks so much!

Living it up in Canada, specifically the GTA I can tell you that they will be at Canadian retail within the month. However I have one of each for you. Where in Canada are you?

They have? I've never seen them and I find everything eventually.

Expect to see them in Late March, Mid April or May, because with DOTM coming up, the DOTM line will stock the shelves and sock Generations and RTS in the stoumach.

Well, I assume they have, since they have shown up a bit on the sightings pages here, and there are some available here and there on E-bay.

I'm from Winnipeg. PM me with details!

I live in BC, and I don't expect them to show up here at all. Although we finally just got Perceptor & Wreck-Gar, along with some limited amounts of Blurr & Dirge. Retailers around here have a horrible tendency to skip entire waves, especially at the end of a line. Walmart basically hadn't stocked ANYTHING since Christmas until a week ago. TRU was a little better but still sporadic. Zellers was almost the best bet, if you could find one where they actually restock toys more than twice a year. With the DOTM hype building and retailers wanting a piece of that, I don't expect to be able to find much that isn't movie-related. I don't think we ever got the final wave of Universe 2.0.

lol anyway, I'm pretty jaded about the retail situation here. If it's anywhere near the same over there, I strongly suggest preordering at either your local hobby shop or online. I've got all my RTS & Gen 2011 figures from BBTS.

Cybertron.ca is a great place for sightings. Just watch the thread for your province! There are a bunch of Canadians here on Seibertron but there just aren't enough of us to really have a lot of sightings for specific areas.

I live in Halifax, NS. The TF selection here is horrible! The WFC toys are pretty much the newest stock local stores have...
