We have a couple of new sightings to share with Canadians. Both come from Cybertron.ca. First we have the Dropkick and KSI sentry deluxe toys from the Studio Series line. Thes were found at the Maxie et Cie. grocery chain in Quebec for the same standard $30 price point. This grocery chain is part of the Loblaws family so those toys could show up at Loblaws as well.
Also, while EB Games had the Siege leaders, they are now showing up at Walmart as well.
Finally, the trailer less reissue of Optimus Prime has been found at Walmarts in Ontario and Alberta for $69.98.
In terms of market six stores, Winners and Marshals across the country are getting voyager class toys from Titans Return and Power fo the Primes for $15.

No... just no way.
I just bought Blackout which retails the same, there's a lot more going on with that than even the cab for Optimus Prime. I was fine with it being the cab, I was considering getting it, but I guess I'll keep an eye for a sale. Good to hear about Dropkick however.

A trailer-less G1 Optimus should ne 50$CAN at the vert most. Wait long enough and it will be if it was overproduced like Hot Rod.

Easy, the walmart reissue has no trailer. That never happened before, wven with KOs.
There is no such thing as a mint in box trailerless KO.

The only new thing in Montreal is what is in the picture. You really want those Cyber Battalion figures?

Maybe.
I saw the new SS deluxe figures, but no Clunker Bee. Also, no new voyagers either. My Walmart sure may have had everything, but they barely stock so any new things get sold out instantly.

When you have Siege & Studio Series right next to Cyberverse why would any sane person choose Cyberverse?

Animated was the worst! Even worse than Beast Machines. Peaks & valley's. Animated & Beast Machines were the valley's, the lowest points of the franchise. Now we have RID & Cyberverse. Another low point. Thank God we have Siege & Studio Series to even things out. My Walmart put all the Cyberverse garbage in the clearance section & it still won't sell. Mixing Transformers with Looney Tunes or Spongebob's animation style just doesn't work.

Animated was awesome and Prime was an amazing show. I gave up after RiD's first season and after watching the abomination that was the Machimina Combiner Wars shorts, I gave up entirely on all shows.
For now, all that matter is the toys. Fiction be damned.

I bought some. And here is why (this goes out to all the Canadian lurkers our there). While they are of characters I dont need, I do intend on getting Soundwave and Skybite when they come out. So, since they are all the same number at TRU, I am buying some warriors now and will exchange them for the toys I want later. I wasnt greedy, just bought 3. I dont know how many I will want, even for 5$.
Reminds me of the time the beast hunter deluxes were 5$ in canada, I bought almost all of them (but didnt get Prowl because I am an idiot who was thinking "you dont really need them all do you?"

So, anyone else getting a second warrior Bee to customize into Cyberverse Glyph? There were enough good sales on Cyberverse last year that I already got my spare, so I'm just one batch of blue dye and a robo-boob-job away!
There, that should make the collective inappropriate comments eclectic enough to get this thread right back on track. Now if only Amazon would start using their Seinfeld names again...

Cyberverse: Walmart has the latest 1 steps which include Prowl, the new Megatron and Optimus. They also have the new scouts which include Ratchet and Shadow Striker.
Siege: There have been sightings of Galaxy Prime at both Walmart and Toysrus. It is not in Walmart's database though, so buying him has been trickier there. All of Wave 2 has been found at Walmart now including the micromasters, battlemasters, deluxes and voyagers. Though not all provinces have found all these sizes.
Studio Series: While the DOTM Megatron and Jetfire leader figures were available much earlier on at EB Games they finally found their way to Walmart the past few weeks and are getting restocked.
Ectotron: EB Games has this toy in stores for $60 CAD. They are the exclusive retailer for this figure.

If I see it live, maybe it will be an impulse purchase.

It's probably no rush man, it's only just coming out at Canadian retail, and most pre-orders outside Canada aren't even due for 2 more months!

It is good, but for the cash needed, there's more important things right now. Beside, I bet there will be overstock even for him and he will be back on sale anyway. Like Trypticon and Fortmax before him.

I guess the big disappointment for me is the Prime with Ark. He looks like he actually IS the size I thought they all were, and with no articulation from the waist down. I'm thinking I will pick up a few small ones and pass on him, since the price will be outlandish.
Grahhhh. I want that Ark!
