Remember the old days of getting that Toysrus Holiday catalogue? Well, while that is over for Americans, it is still a thing in Canada. This year's catalogue has Baby Yoda on the front cover and features lots of discounts on toys, including Transformers. The discounts are on the Cyberverse Battle Call figures (now $25 CAD) and the Earthrise deluxes (now $24 CAD), which are represented by Cliffjumper (a fine pick if you ask me). That makes both assortments around $18 USD.
Canada has caught up on most sightings found in the US, such as the second wave of Earthrise deluxes now at Walmart. And speaking of Walmart, we even have some firsts such as the ultimate sized Cyberverse Battle Call figures, which feature Bumblebee in a Gypsy Danger mask.

So I had to import my ER Arcee from BBTS.

Now FULL RESTOCK of Siege figures at FULL PRICE.

Anyway, that "legend/scout/core" sized "MP-01" Optimus Prime, the 2017 Platinum Year of the Rooster one, is on rollback at 80$CAN.

Having money to burn, I'd be kinda tempted but even at 80$, it's still too much for this primitive collector item.
Maybe on Black Friday the deal will be sweeten?

Another exclusive found recently is Gigawatt from the Transformers Collaborative Back to the Future Mash-Up. It was found at EB Games for $59.99 CAD. That specific sighting was first posted on Cybertron.ca.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a Gigawatt today.
I may also be able to get hockey autographs in exchange.

In other Toysrus news, a new sales starts tomorrow where Siege Micromasters and the "Target Exclusive" RID One Step multi pack are %50 off. While that particular set is from years ago, Toysrus has been getting large quantities of it the past month. Makes you wonder what else is being forgotten in warehouses.

You ok paying 60$ for this? Isn't he cheaper in the US?
Posted by -Kanrabat- on November 18th, 2020 @ 11:16pm CST
Also, 45$ on that RiD 1step box set is a fair price. And the price that should have been from the very start for old overstock "nobody wanted".

so all i had to do was visit toys r us? damn.
as for pricing, its the same price as EB and thats also what Ectotron cost so its not surprising. i mean neither are "worth" that much and shoulda been 40 or less but i'm sure the licensing was one issue and canada just sucks for pricing with this sorta stuff.
that said, the figure is really cool and i dont regret it, he's way smaller than i expected and he looks so tiny next to Ectotron in robot form but yeah....i love both!!
i have no interest in the x-men crossover figure but it looks cool too.
here's hoping they do Knight Rider eventually...i mean they can do KITT and KARR to represent each faction!! the possibilities are endless!!

But Ectotron is a voyager, this is a deluxe.

No more limited than any other figures. Even the "exclusively" is relative. And for the regular price they go for, these are basically unscalpable.
That is, unless a store pull a Target and clearance the thing at 75% off 3 weeks after it's release.

I call fake news.
Heck, you can stiff find Ectotron in stores today and they'll even re-release him with some differences in paint for the upcoming movie.
So, no need to buy from a scalper.

People don't read carefully enough. They said the initial stock would only be 5000 units followed by a wider release later. What you are looking at is most probably the wider release.

Both Toysrus and Walmart have massive sales... on last year's items. Most of these are Siege toys that were just recently restocked, meaning there was a ton left over accumulating dust in a warehouse. In Toysrus, the Siege voyagers (anyone want another Siege Megatron?) are shy of $20 while Siege deluxes (how about another Chromia?) are shy of $15 at Walmart. The Cyberverse armoured figures are also $15 at Walmart while Toysrus is selling their newly restocked Siege leaders for $35.
These deals are only available in store at the moment since the limited online stock sold out instantly.

Regardless, Canadian Black Friday suck major ass.
The American online retailers are no better. TF Source and BBTS have the same old, same old on sale. Often just at 10% off. Big woop.
Meh. More money saved by not buying anything.

Oh well... That's also why I finally decided to get Deluxe Bee, Optimus, and Megs. Bee being passable, the other two being marvelous.

I think all those 3 are awesome, I think that's the best deluxe Bee we've ever gotten.

My only beef with that Bee, not counting the scale, is it's transformation is not that intuitive compared to the other two.
Regardless, the Cyberverse Deluxe line is a solid one.

I only purchased the OP, but, it scanned for $29.99. That's got to be an error since it's a Voyager Class figure.
Happy Hunting!
Posted by -Kanrabat- on December 30th, 2020 @ 2:26pm CST
I may buy something from them soon, especially with free shipping for orders over 250$CAN before taxes. In this hobby, it's not hard to do.

Namur Walmart was barren. Not just TF, but Marvel, DC, MOTU, lots of nothing.
The only thing of interest at TRU was that they still have a Fastrack available which is quite surprising. I though many said they couldn't find him.

As if they want to sell online only.
And if you look at Toys R Us online, it's as if they don't want to sell anything at all.
God.
Damn.
Bullcrap.
Lockdowns.

Honestly, I don't think the lockdown has anything to do with it. If anything, a lockdown should have made TRU get their crap together to make sure they are a reliable online store for new toys. But even in face of that, they refused to ameliorate in any way.

Add the stupid "NO MPM FOR QUEBEC" bull as a cherry on top of that s#it sundae.

That’s $90 Canadian. So that’s about $70 USD.

I'm guessing there's a premium price attached to these crossover toys because Hasbro needs to profit share with the license holders? Haven't seen the size of Ectotron myself, but Gigawatt seemed significantly overpriced ($59.99 CDN) to me for what it was.

There's higher and higher.
A deluxe is 30/CAN and a voyager is 40$CAN while a leader is 70$/75$CAN.
Gigawatta is DOUBLE the price.
Ectotron is MORE than double the price.
Only the X-Men guy is relatively reasonable by being 90$CAN instead of the standard 70/75$.
