Canadian sighting of Shattered Glass Megatron and Starscream

Ebgames Canada also had the Unicron galvatron up for preorder in store in the spring/summer

Do they come with the comics?

Unfortunately not. I think the comics are the exclusive part for hasbro pulse.

I really like that Starscream...in my head, that's the Starscream that was friends with Jetfire before the war. Similar colours because they were part of the same science academy or something. If I ever get around to repainting my classics Jetfire in toy accurate/macross colours, SG SS would go great with him!

Canadian Gamestops getting Starscream before Pulse. Distribution sure has been fun these last two years... *sigh*

Found the Cyberverse Quintesson set at Marshall's for 20$!

From Amazon.ca, if you still don't have Wingfinger or want to troop build, they have him at 14$!

TrU now follow Quebec's vax mandate. I'm very frustrated by that whole situation and things are becoming ridiculous. There were barely anyone inside the store too. Then they had nothing new to show on the TF shelves.

Then, the prices.

Toys R Us Canada as just increased the prices of Transformers yet again. This time, the increase is ludicrous, skyrocketing the prices at highs never seen before.

SS Deluxes are now 43$. (33.75US)



Select Deep Cover at 40$. (31.38$US)



Core class at 17$ (13.34$US)



Ectotron is now 110$! (86.31$US)



1-steps at 17$ (13.34$US)



Draculus at 85$ (66.70$US)



Kingdom voyagers at 50$ (39.23$US)



Commander Rodimus Prime at 140$ (109.87$US)



Not pictured, leader SS at 85$ (66.70$US)

The most amazing thing is that Amazon, GameStop, and Walmart don't follow those prices increases at all. Everything at those stores are still at the previous prices of 30/35$ for deluxes, 40/45$ for voyager, and 70/75$ for a leader.

Only at Toys R Us that the DELUXES are now at the previous prices of VOYAGERS. Why such outrageous price hikes at Toys R Us? Sure, there's the pandemic and overall supply chain trouble and such, but to see that ridiculous inflation only happening at Toys R Us is baffling.

Will you still shop your Transformers at Toys R Us?
Me, I highly doubt it.

Canadians who still haven't gotten The Ark have one more chance to get it for cheap at Walmart:

https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transforme ... 0203212857

169$CAN plus taxes as I'm writing this.

Age 3 and Up finally got Select Black Zarak and the preorders are finally getting shipped.

Some preorders may have been cancelled because you can buy it now if you want:

Toysrus is the only place getting the Buzzworthy Transformers toys in Canada and the latest release for the line has been found. Deluxe Silverstreak was found at a Toysrus in Ontario and we got this info from Tonestar who reported it on the Cybertron.ca boards. The price was a hard one to swallow though, since he is $42.99. All the selects toys have been released too, though they are even pricier at Toysrus. For instance, the black Ironhide redeco called Guard is available at Toysrus for $45 but also available at Gamestop Canada for $35.99.

If you have found this toy, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

At this point I'm probably gonna switch to being a 3rd party and KO collector unless Hasbro releases something I REALLY want. Over $40 for a deluxe is not worth it to me. I would love to keep going with Hasbro but trying to keep up with the amount of figures they release per wave is unfortunately not sustainable for me unless there's a sale.

Ugh...that price is ridiculous. Should one assume Kup and Cliffjumper will be the same? After getting Origins Bee, I realized just how small he and Cliff are...no way is he worth north of $20, let alone $40. You could get voyager SG Starscream fron EB for your forty bucks...

O' course, in my mind, deluxes are still $20, voyagers $30, and leaders $60.

Looks like it's just those last Dinobots for me, unless prices go down drastically.

Kup and Cliff would be the same IF they ever come to Canada. Toysrus has not been consistent with Target exclusives, we never did get roadrage. Hence why Canadians grabbed those 2 on hasbro pulse when they were made available.

While they took their sweet time getting here, Canada has been getting some new Transformers toys. The Legacy wave 1 core class figures have been found at Toysrus and the deluxe figures were found at Walmart. While initial sightings were in Ontario, they are reaching out across Canada now. Just yesterday, the reissue of the original Beast Wars Scorponok in show colours was found in Montreal, as you can see in the image below. The first wave of 2022 Studio Series deluxes is trickling out one bot at a time at Gamestop, but distribution is far from being wide for those.

If you have found these, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

That's a surprising Cyberverse lineup, Walmart and Target in the US have really thinned them out. Walmart only carries 1 Step, Warrior, Roll & Combine and Roll N' Change. Target is pegged for everything, but never stocks anything, last time I checked they were down to some Scouts, one 1 Step Megatron, 5 Deluxe Arcees and a Ultimate Hot Rod.

Vintage Scorponok is 70$.
Glad I bought mine at Walmart.ca for 63$.

Still, I don't trust my local Walmart to have any new deluxes.
Also, yay, price hike.

They might have the new deluxe class Slug from Cyberverse.

Preorders are up for Cybertron Metroplex at Amazon.ca.

But at 300$, I'll wait for a sale or just miss out.

On my end, I have zero space (but space can find a way) and mid-interest.

So far, my Legacy money will be mostly for the Stunticons.

Same

Please please please tell me.... Scorponok is sitting under the wrong tag, and is not in fact 70 bucks...

It is.
Same price as a leader. It was online at 63$ and I thought THAT was expensive. Glad I got mine at that price in the end.

I bet collecting every single MP releases is now way too overwhelming to continue but at least the MP-10 completion is still feasible, right?

It's funny you should mention the MP collection...

MP-10's are fine. Only one I'm missing (just due to apathy) is the 2nd (Green) Atmos MP-10. But I'll get around to it.

MP collecting in general though... the V3 Seekers really made me re-valuate things. I have all three, but have only opened Startscream. And I don't mind saying, I was pretty disappointed in that mold. Those three figures cost around 1K (CAD). That is a LOT of money for something you don't even like. And maybe these things wouldn't have been so apparent, if a 3P hadn't immediately made it irrelevant. Deformation Space, Crimson Wing. My gawd. He is quality, and he is perfect. That's my TLDR review. But besides him, I can't even say V3 is better than Maketoys Meteor. Which... damn.

This has made me reconsider the completionist status of my MP collection, and I've been looking hard at Fanstoys lately...

Since I've been gone for a hot minute, lemme ask y'all Canadians: are you buying from Gamestop these days? Cause you really should

I'm a Platinum member and lemme tell you, GameStop is THE place to hunt Transformers. Best prices, and mostly the latest new stuff often available. Not counting the hot exclusives!

Too bad their online store is worthless.

I find their online store to be pretty decent. TRU is the one I'd say is worthless (unfortunately) at this point. Gamestop (for TF's anyways) seem to pop up when they should, and if you're relatively on the pulse then they should be obtainable.

But you're right. That discount, and the free shipping, makes them pretty much the best place for us right now. The past few years I've gone with A3U, but their $250 threshold for free shipping is pretty ridiculous. I get almost everything through Gamestop now.

Unless their policies changed, the Platinum discount is only for in store purchases. No discounts when ordering online. Beside, everything is usually sold out, or preorders only.

A3&U is great for the 3P I can't get anywhere else and the 250$ free ship is scarily easy to reach. I just wish they would have a pile-of-loot system like BBTS. I would preorder way more if they did.

Amazon.ca and Amazon.jp are the best online stores for me. Usually, the shipping is always free (except for the .jp) and they are usually pretty reliable is you conveniently ignore the occasional crushed box. Plus for Masterpieces, Amazon.jp is unbeatable even when factoring taxes and shipping. Especially now with the low yen value.
I got both MP Skids, Reboost, Starscream 3.0, Arcee, MPM Starscream, Black Convoy 3.0 from Amazon.jp. I'm keeping an eye open for MPM-13 Blackout.

As for TrU, they can die in a fire.

It's my go to now for figures I don't want to wait for.

It took quite a while, but now all size classes for Legacy wave 1 have ben found in Canada. The last ones to appear were the voyagers and leaders which have been found at Walmarts across the nation. The other classes have been found in Walmarts as well and other retailers like Toysrus, but it's been a slow trickle.

Toysrus is the exclusive retailer of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line in Canada and the hotly anticipated Kup and Cliffjumper wave have been found there. However, these deluxes are $42.99. We all know Kup's colours are better, but are they THAT much better? That's the question Canadians are asking themselves.

$42.99?

lol no.

TOO MUCH ENERGON! wrote:$42.99?

lol no.

I bit the bullet for that Ironhide repaint because I didn't had the mold but for the rest, Toys R Us is the very last place to shop Transformers in Canada.

Amazon.ca and Gamestop are both #1, followed closely by Walmart.

Too often I waited for too long and missed my chance. I'd recommend getting what you really want NOW without waiting or you might regret it. Wait only for things you have mid-interests in.

TRU doesn't do those much anymore. They put a last chance sticker and then get rid of the product to make room on the shelves. It's to discourage those who wait for a sale that never comes.

Oh for sure...I jumped on Origins 'Bee when I saw him. Of course, not a month later, there he was with a big ol' promo price in a flyer.

But I just can't bring myself to pay over $40 (or even $30, come to think of it) for what's really a legends-sized toy in Cliffjumper, no matter how good he looks.

Got the same frustration with Origin Bee, but that was part of the game. And if Cliffy is just a "meh" in your book, leave it.

I still feel the bitterness of missing out on DOTM "Cyberverse Commander" Guzzle. I saw it ONCE at Walmart at the full 10$. "Desirable, but it will be on sale next week."
Ahahahahahaha.... sigh.... Never again.

N.E.S.T Bumblebee found at GameStop for 36$ or 32.39$ for Platinum members.

Also, Select Lift Ticket at 34/30$ instead of 43$ at TrU.

Are me and Will the only Canadians on this site?

Anyway, Toys R Us finally put the Afterlife Ectotron on CLEARANCE!
....At 77$, meaning barely 3$ cheaper than the original release price before the initial price hikes.

You do have it, right?

I thought the first version was overpriced at 60$. Then the Afterlife one came out at 80$ and that price balloon kept inflating.


So yeah. 50$ would be reasonable. But clearance at 77$ is a big fat joke.

I have it, it's one of my least favorite toys

So far, the only Legacy deluxe I saw in store, meaning at Gamestop, Walmart.ca, and Geek stuff, is Prime Arcee. That's it, that's all. Not because the others sold out. No. Because she's the only one they got.

Why?

Very odd, I see all the deluxes (and leaders, voyagers, cores) at all my walmarts

The Laval Curse I bet.

Ay least I found leader SS86 Sludge at Geek Stuff.
