Another Big Sale on TF Movie Toys at Canadian Toys R Us Stores!

Man, I wish I was Canadian. No sales at Targets here in Connecticut.

Oh damn, I have to get me a leader prime, for that price!!

Watch, he won't be in stock.

its nice to see, but ITS A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR ME! haha i got all the stuff i needed june 2nd. funny how things work out haha.

fuck you toys r us.....dropping the price of leader prime 20$ after i bought it? how dare they..lol

No deluxes or Voyagers? That's a shame.

so they'll be the same price as in the US? Wow, big sale. I won't be able to get to a TRU in the next week anyway, next month maybe..

Side note: my wife asked the manager at the TRU we were at two weeks ago about the display, and she was the first to get her name in to get it after they're done with it, so maybe I'll own it someday..

Hey, don't start complaining about US prices. Leaders for $40? That's a steal! For $40 Canadian, we get, what, a Voyager?

I think the point he's trying to make is that TRU should be charging us close to, if not the same as US prices, since our dollar is nearly on par. It's a little annoying, but I have no means to get to the states anyway.

It's good too see there's a sale. I'll probably make my way down there pretty soon.

why did i buy my leader prime on june 2nd... why...

think i could return it and buy it on sale?

If you still have the receipt, you can get a price correction. I do it all the time since I also have a bad habit of buying figures a week before they end up going on sale...

Simply bring your receipt and ask for a price correction for the item that is on sale now, and they'll pay you back the difference, you just have to do it while the sale is on.

Thanks!

Looks like we will get a Prime repaint, that "Night Watch" Prime reported earlier. Ah well.

Damn. All my money's gonna be tied up in Botcon I think.

Lucky Canada

But no one knows what it looks like...

Let me guess: black? I don't think a neon orange truck with lime green highlights would be very effective on 'night watch.'

A

I guess it'll probably be a Nemesis. If it is I might have to buy it. I'm a whore.

I feel like one too. I'm addicted to Robot Heroes (well, most small-sized TF figures). I'm going to finish my RH collection (or at least grab the currently available ones), but I feel like crap looking at them displayed near my Basic Titaniums and Heroes of Cybertron. Three pointing Optimus Primes? 2 Bumblebees, Soundwaves, and Grimlocks (add 2 Hot Rods, Ultra Magnuses and Megatrons to that, next week)?

I'll have to move some of them to another shelf so I don't feel like such a whore.

Haha, I guess that's a little much, yes. I usually only buy duplicates of figures if they're an awesome repaint. And then sometimes I only buy the coolest version of it. But still... argh!!

Er...why do you have multiples of the little guys anyway? They come in different 2-packs, which you have to buy to get all the characters, resulting in doubles? Or something?

Somehow my last post had a part missing, I meant to say about Nightwatch Prime: "I was hoping for a more subdued, darker-colored, flameless, more G1-esque deco. Am I hoping for too much? "

I don't buy duplicates (except for that time I bought 2 Beast Wars Insecticons because they were shelfwarming for ten years, so I got them for a good price).

Well, I collect Basic Titaniums, Heroes of Cybertron, and Robot Heroes, which results in the same character appearing several times (such as the quintessential Optimus Prime). However, some of them share similar poses (the Optimus Primes from all 3 lines have him pointing and holding his rifle with his arm bent at the elbow). See attached photo.

That would be cool. Silver stripes rather than flames. However for the robot legs to be accurate, there would have to be blue on the front of the truck, I guess.

Haha. Those 3 Primes looks pretty awesome.

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.

Ohhhh...well that's not that bad. It's still different figures, so it doesn't look like you're too much of a Hasbro whore.

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.

Awesome. I passed on the Star Wars and Marvel Heroes which I regret, so i'll good to get my hands on the Transformers ones.

Blurrz wrote:Awesome. I passed on the Star Wars and Marvel Heroes which I regret, so i'll good to get my hands on the Transformers ones.

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!!!

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?

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

Oh cruel Fate, why do you mock me?!

Skowl wrote: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*

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?

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!

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!

Glad I could help!
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

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.

Haha, well it doesn't really matter to me whether a place has a sale or not, as I only have 6% GST to pay, and not any PST!
