Same with Canada. I went to Target today and: NOTHING. The employees didnt even know when there would be new toys. There arent even specials on deluxe beast hunters and the like to clear them out.
Amazon.ca has all deluxes, the 2 voyagers but NO leaders. Toysrus on the other hand just has the deluxe figures.
This is my first time following a launch and its a bit dissapointing.

This doesn't bode well for the Netherlands...

Baltmatrix looks at punching Crosshairs! The crazy punching gimmick is kinda cool, I'd have loved this as a kid! Just so crazy and hilarious.

As always, let us Brits know and we'll do our best to help out!
(I'm actually coming over to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks, if you want me to bag one or two things. PM me if interested.)

Usually, Canada is ALWAYS late compared to the USA when new things come out. Sometime, it's just a few days for a major Movie line. Sometimes, it's weeks and weeks for some Generations waves. Sometime, it's a FULL YEAR like the goddamn wave 2 of TF Prime deluxes.
Same old, same old. For the ones who wont wait, there's always online with extra money to pay toward shipping. It suck, but it's part of the game.

That sucks, there are no Toys R Us's in Ireland and I have no plans to buy an Leader class toys. Hasbro,Argos and Toys R Us should all be ashamed on themselves.

Last we heard from YouTube reviewer Baltmatrix was a look at Transformers: Age of Extinction Voyager Autobot Hound - but thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Fires_Of_Inferno, we take a look at the new punchy line of the Power Battlers with a video review of Power Punch Crosshairs! Check out the embedded clip below, browse the Seibertron.com gallery, and let us know what you think of these simple but fun-looking figures in the Energon Pub.

Just sitting at my desk, posing my Evasion Mode Prime, and had a thought: Will maybe someone release a custom head for this guy? Perhaps with his faceplate? I would totally get that.
I really like the evasion mode prime. Its one of my favorite movie primes, but I'd love to be able to swap out a faceplate head. Heck. If I found out that one was coming out I'd get a third one! (I got an extra for painting)
Anyone else like this idea or are happy with the EM Prime?

The Dinos with the Mini-Cons, Legends or Energon Grimlock, where applicable. The BW and E-Cruellock repaints are from Walmart.

Forgive the audio towards the end as I start cracking myself up, which is what good toys should do!

I'm totally with you on that, bro. Let me add another upgrade. A replacement panel countaining the second smokestack. EM OP is not screen accurate because of it's deco and he took the G1 paintjob. So, I WANT my second smokestack first. A faceplate movie head would also be welcome. So, why not an upgrade kit that countain both? Let's add a G1/movie gun hybrid to sweeten the deal.

If this should only be in toy sightings, let me know and I will delete this post:
Here is the run down for the Canadian release of the Age of Extinction Toylineas per my experience today.
Target and Walmart are not selling them yet but Toysrus has the 4 wave one deluxe figures as well as the titan figures and the 3 Dino Sparker figures. The leader and voyager class figures are not yet available.
The Kreo Age of Extinction sets are also available at Toysrus.
The toysrus I went to is in Montreal at the corner of Namur and Decarie Boulevard.

That's a good way of putting it, thanks! I was never sure how to address it until now.
Best of luck with tracking down figures!
