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.
