Which Optimus and which Bumblebee is that exactly?

This result in when a big sale like this happen, I already have everything and I end up buying nothing.

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

He also have the Joe Soundwave, the new JP set, the most recent Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys (including that infamous Optimus) and even the Pulsecon exclusives that are supposed to be only for GameStop.

Looks like most if not all big retailers exclusives will be available at all the small independent shops not too long after their initial releases.

So, dear Canadians, if you can't find the "exclusive" you want at your nearest big name retailer, hit the local independent geek shop. You may be surprised.

Thanks!

I'll double check their reputation before buying though. I've been burned once already and that was enough.

Thanks for the heads-up!

The DOTM deluxe Bumblebee reissue, Universal edition.
One strange thing is that it's labeled as "Revenge of The Fallen."
The price is of a normal deluxe toy.

I didn't bought it because I already have the original deep in storage.

Also, sad news.

Toys R Us brought back the expensive prices of 2022.

40$ a deluxe, 50$ a voyager.

Now that the BWBB line is basically canceled, there's no more point in shopping there. Unless the last troopers 4 pack goes on clearance.

The SG Optimus and Ratchet set is still on pre-order at Amazon.ca, but is on sale for reasons. 34% off for only 62.65$can!

If you already had the set on pre-order at full price, simply cancel it and order again. If you were on the fence, now is the time to strike.

Don’t expect many stores to honor these prices.

Store manager at my local WM in Guelph decided to IMO, get downright hostile and disrespectful when asked for clarification and why it was not being honored and referred to me / us to the store refund policy,etc

My advice fight for it and use those codes from this post as evidence and escalate it. Don’t be a jerk but be firm but eventually i believe they will relent.

When it comes to clearance sales, it depends of each individual Walmarts, independent from each others. So a "fire sale" may be just in a particular Walmart, but not the others. If your local Walmart have one, great. But if not, it has nothing to do with the ones who do.
