They sure are! If you want to get the one in the middle, he's on sale! He comes with a Ravage figure. Ravage is one of my favourite Robot Heroes.

Yeah, i'm definetly going to pick up as many Robot Heroes on saturday at TRU. Are they poseable by any chance? As in do their limbs move?

Yep, they have moving heads and their arms move at the shoulders. Ravage can only move his head, though. He still owns.

I don't really like the Marvel/SW ones. I think the inflated/SD/chibi look suits the TFs because they are so cartoony, but it doesn't really work for the humanoid characters....

Not to mention that their poses looked like they all thought they were Donkey Kong (at least for the early Star Wars ones).

Hmm.. I do have to agree with that. And the problem with the X-men ones is that the colours weren't exactly the best either. But yeah.. for under $6, i definetly gotta get Robot Heroes, maybe even get one for my 2-year old cousin(hopefully he doesn't bite their heads off)

Yeah, $6 is a good price. The regular TRU price is ridiculous. I get mine from Wal-Mart, where their default price is $2 less than he TRU default price.

However, with this sale, they are cheaper at the TRU, so I hope they have the figures I want when I drop by on Monday!

Hey!

Now that I got your attention, if any Canadian finds an extra Leader Megatron on sale this week, could they let me know? I might ask him or her to pick it up for me and ship it, it'll still end up being cheaper than finding it in stores in a week at full price. It would be greatly appreciated...

The only way I'll ever get that toy is if I can get it for at least 20$ off... I'll be reposting this in the Canadian sightings forum as well, thanks everyone!

Noooooooo!!!

Robot Heroes are still $8.99!!! :sad:

I felt suspicious when I checked the flyer last night, and it did not mention them.

I went to one on my work this morning, and yep, Robot Heroes are regular price.

Is the sale meant for a selected few TRUs?

:sad:

Damn it, you're right! The Robot Heroes are still madly expensive!

Oh cruel Fate, why do you mock me?!

It wasn't "cruel Fate", it was the one who pulled a fast one on us. Probably just to see how many people he can sucker to go into a TRU.

*raises pitchfork and torches*
:lol:

Hey, it was in the flyer I got. The flyers usually affect stores nationwide. Forgive for trying to save you hosers a few bucks, eh? :wink:

If, for some reason, they aren't on sale at your TRU, check out a Walmart store. At my local Wal-Mart, their default price is $2 less than he TRU default price.

Good hunting, guys! :PEACE:

My flyer looks like this:

http://www.toysrus.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TRUOnlineCatalogue?storeId=10051&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&rfx_catalog=2&catalog_name=061607

Page 8, is exactly the screenshot of the flyer I have at home.

Could be a regional thing.

Messed up! My flyer, instead of having the helmet and the Cyber Stompers, had the Robot Heroes and the Plushies....

Except my Wal-Mart still has no movie stuff, so I can't find cheap Robot Heroes anywhere!

THIS JUST IN: ROBOT HEROES ARE ON SALE

I bought a pack last night at my TRU in Moncton - they didn't have them labelled on sale in the store or in the flyer, but I looked at my receipt this morning and I was charged only 5.97 which is the sale price!

So go pick some up my fellow Canucks! Even if they aren't labelled on sale, you might still be able to get them for a little under 6$!!!

All right! Scan them first at a price checker though, just in case your TRU isn't as cool as Skowl's.

Picked up my leader Prime yesterday morining for $20 off. Not sure I'm that big on him though, he looks so different next to the other Primes. I'll see how the repaint looks, if it's better I'll probably sell this one. Or I'm also starting to devise a repaint scheme, I think I've got some pretty good ideas on where color placement should be.

Also took the batteries out ASAP. I hate it when toys have lights and sounds.

One of my most expensive hauls (hey, it's my birthday next week), but also, probably the haul on which I saved the most money - 40$ in all!

News Credits: 23 · by **1337W422102** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 6:02 pm

Glad I could help! :PEACE:

I'll pick up the rest of the Robot Heroes on Monday when I go out to buy my books for my next semester.

Sale? The only thing I got on Sale at mine were the FAB's and Leader class... still, a pretty good deal on both.. saving $20 on leader class

News Credits: 6 · by **Metroplex79** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:04 pm

Guess it's my bad luck.

My TRU still has them at $8.99 ('miserable glitches'), and my local Wal-Mart has them at $7.72 ('for bootin' up cold').

I bought most of mine at Walmart before the TRU sale, simply because 7.72 is slightly more reasonable than 8.99.
