I don't think we ever got Walmart exclusives, so it's not a surprise to me. It would be a bigger surprise if we were getting it.

I dont know why, but the seekers never grabbed me as Masterpieces.

If I was interested, the upcoming Takara version is the way to go regardless.

When you are talking about MP01 versus 20th Ann there is no contest.

Takara makes the Masterpiece line, Hasbro waters it down

How is the US Masterpiece Starscream compared to MP-06 and MP-03 in terms of quality? Is the paint job good and is it missing any die-cast parts or decals?

Being a Quebecer, I'm used to getting the shaft. But the rest of Canada getting owned? The hell with that.
I just hope my brother can find me one in Seattle or I'm going to have to punt a baby down teh 401, again.

And keeping with d_hunter's state of mind, Peter Cullen in from Montreal, or something like that!

Don't cry too much fellow Canucks. It is almost cheaper having a friend in the US buy it from there and ship it up here given the $CDN is now worth $1.05 US.

Thats not the point.

The point is that we always get the short end when it comes to esclusives

And yes you are right Peter Cullen is from Montreal

Yeah, I had a feeling we wouldn't get this one... oh well, it probably would have cost us 270.00$ Canadian or something like that.

It's not like our dollar is worth more than the US dollar right now...




... oh wait.

DAMB! This makes me so mad I can barely type this post. This figure was my grail! The 1 figure I'm looking forward to for all of Fall and Winter, or until the Animated or Universe lines comes out. Now I'll have to find an online retailer who has it or something. Anyone know of one?

I reported this when MP Screamer came out in the US, on the same day! :P

Either way, it's no big surprise. The last Wal-mart excluse Transformers saw in Canada was the Armada Prowl/Starscream 2-pack.

Zed makes a hell of a point, BTW

Have you guys considered looking into Walmarts that are just across the border? You could just drive across the border and nab one.

Though I'd probably call and make sure they're in stock before making the drive. ;-)

Any Canadian who lives in or near windsor Ontario could easily jump over to Detroit for a screamer.

Interesting conversation with customs though. I wonder if a border hop for an MP would be considered business or pleasure?

You missed my point. We all know we get screwed over with these exclusive be they Target, Walmart, Kohl's whomever. Our dollar is so strong now that we can afford to not cry as much since buying it and shipping it to us is as cheap as having the item in retail here. BTW the $CDN is now up to $1.07!

It is very difficult for a Canadian to admit that he may need an American's help. It is like a fish trying to admit it doesn't need water.

OK I tried. :P

Isn't it supposed to be the big guy who need the small one in the fable? :P

The only thing bothering me is the shipping. I could have gone without it. And I don't know anyone who can ship it to me. :sad:

Yes, you're right. I was thinking of exclusives before the movie came out. I bought those sets a little while back myself. Not to mention Target exclusives showing up at Great Canadian Superstores.
