Sadly in Canada, Toysrus looks more and more like what it did at the tail end of its run in the US with the only stuff on the shelves being last year's product at higher prices than any other retailer. But, it is also where most Target exclusives are sold in Canada, so it's still a destination for collectors. You just have to be alerted of the seldom times something is new in stores and this happens to be on of those times.

A lot of new Transformers toys have now been found in Toysrus and they are:

- Buzzworthy Prowl and Ironhide (dead Autobots) two pack
- Buzzworthy RID Towline
- Buzzworthy SS Grimlock reissue
- The ROTB mainline deluxes 3 pack of Cheetor, Nightbird, and Wheeljack
- Smash and Change Scourge
- Titan class Nemesis
- Leader class Snarl from the Studio Series line (not a new sighting, but a worthy mention since people are still looking for that toy)

At 80$CAN, the price is very reasonable for 3 deluxes. Hurry up and get yours before the bots take everything!

And you can get it for 60$ with the 25% off code TRU has sent to r members.

It's been years since they sent any coupons so I threw my R cards to the trash and removed myself from their mailing list months ago.
Oh well.
Mine is already bought and paid for at full price. Still worth it tho.

Huh . . . I wonder what it's like to see shelves actually stocked. It's been the same kiddie-line crap on the shelves down here for so long I've forgotten what it feels like to see something on the shelves I might actually want. :-?

It feels like "HEY THE TRANSFORMERS SHELVES ARE FULLY STOCKED... With Marvels "shampoo bottle" stuff."

It's the case of my local Toys R Us and Walmart. >:oP

Most of the stuff on the shelves in Canada is also kid stuff or really old product. Check the image below, what do you see in the pics that you don't see on your shelves and would like to see?

The Dead Ironhide & Prowl 2 pack finally appeared at my local Toys R Us. The price is also very good.
They got the BWBB ROTB Scorponok packs as well.

At GameStop, they just got the Legacy Evolution Armada Universe Hot Shot and Jolt pack!

A dire warning to my fellow Canadians.

Never buy anything from NMC Toys.

That Toronto based store may have been legit once, but the COVID thing transformed that store into a scam. He will take your money, never send anything, then ghost you.

Se some reviews at

And

https://www.yelp.ca/biz/nmc-toys-toronto

And

https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/ ... as_anyone/

So, avoid and report.

Here to report that my local Toys R Us have lots of interesting things.

First, they have the BWBB SS AoE Grimlock and the SS ROTB Optimus Prime in stock.

They also have the latest JP set and the Top Gun Maverick. Both at full price.

They still have the same things on clearance, but this time, the Earthsparks are at 50%off.

They also have these metal figures.

Finally, the "buy two things on clearance and get the cheapest at 50% off" sale is on. Again.

Christmas shopping season has started at Toysrus. Their stores are stocked to the brim, including the Transformers section. While there is a lot of stock, amount wise, there isn't much variety. It mainly features non Studio Series Rise of the Beasts toys and Cyberverse, which makes sense as they mainly target parents/kids. They also concentrate on their exclusives and their big Transformers deal for the next two weeks combines those two strengths of their: the exclusive mainline Rise of the Beasts 3 pack from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line.

Below is how various Toysrus stores look like at the moment. You'll notice that they did get the wave 4 Legacy deluxes, but in a small amount, compared to the rest. They are also up to date on the Cyberverse line, with the latest Arcee/Hashtag finger puppets and the warrior Megatron wave.

In other sightings news, the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line is being found in Canada. Leader Primal and the deluxe wave with Mirage and Nightbird has been found at Gamestop.

Seeing Buzzworthy toys alongside that WalMart beast trio is downright surreal. Even if TRU had survived in the States, I wouldn't have it quite that good on my side of the river.

The TRU Canada Volvo truck is too cute. Make that into a super-sized TF exclusive please and thank you!

I hate to say it. I did see some of these toys at olloes for only $20. But then I saw new transformers I've never seen in person in these pics! Jealous

A movie mainline Cheetor in the same 3 pack as a tv show Optimus Prime, what is the world coming to!

Which Optimus and which Bumblebee is that exactly?

That's not the "ROTB Mainline" Cheetor in that pack with the optimus. That's the CYBERVERSE deluxes 3 pack. A 3 pack that is still way too expensive even on clearance.

All Transformers part of the Generations and Studio Series lines are 40% off at Toysrus right now. And that includes the toys labelled as such in the Buzzworthy line like Studio Series Grimlock and Generations Selects toys. The best part is that the pricier toys are part of this sale too, like the Leaders, Commander and Titans (since both Metroplex and the Nemesis can be found on shelves right now).

Below you'll find examples of this sale on three items:

Leader SS Primal is now 46.17 ($34 USD)
Commander Armada Prime is 80.97 ($60 USD)
Selects Antagony is 28.77 ($21 USD)

Comment by Dino-Snarl Nov 22, 2023

Those are some serious deals! If we remember correctly that was the price of Armada Prime back when he came out 2 decades ago.

The irony with Black Friday is that I've been burned so many times before by waiting for a sale to never find the toy in store ever again, that I but everything that I want as soon as it comes out. This result in when a big sale like this happen, I already have everything and I end up buying nothing.

I do that too, but for Optimus Primal, my Amazon order had not shipped yet, so I bought it from TRU and cancelled the amazon order

For some reasons, Amazon take its sweet little time to release things. Appart the obvious Amazon exclusives, I cancel most preorders of the standard stuff because I find them weeks or months in advance either at GameStop or my local geek store.

Agreed and so true. Magnus is a good example of that. Does TRU do rainchecks? Can't remember :-?

They did but I haven't attempted getting one in years since they were the worst option for toys. Low stock, late stock and higher prices.
