Transformers Canadian Sightings: Buzzworthy 2 Packs at Toysrus and Gen Selects Hot House at Winners

I ordered Select Transmutate from TrU. I hate paying 34$+tx for a damn deluxe but what can I do...

Also, allow me to cheat a little bit by showing off the little extra that I got in order to get free shipping. I'm pretty glad they had that thing in stock!
That's way, WAY cheaper than BBTS and it's even a preorder over there!

Yeah, that castle is surprisingly reasonable in price and comes with a 15$ figure. For some reason they priced it as the US price but in CAD.

It's even cheaper. 85$CAN at TrU (available now) VS 95$US at BBTS (preorder).
For once, the LEAF is at an advantage!
I always wanted that Castle Grayskull, but having the complete vintage one cost a zillion dollars. So when I saw it at that price at TrU, I knew that was my chance at last!

While the Transformers Generations Selects line is not exclusive for the most part, it is still tricky to find. Toysrus usually does stock them but it is not consistent and there is a bug in their system where if an order is not filled after a certain amount of time, the order will be cancelled automatically. This lead to cancellations of all preorders for G2 Ramjet in Canada from Toysrus and the store is currently doing a workaround where they will call people who preordered when the product comes in. But it's a wonky work around and not everyone has their Ramjets. BUT EB Games, which also had preorders, seems to have quite a few Ramjets to spare and the toy can currently be found in their stores ready for purchase by anyone. The price is $45 CAD but $40 with a platinum Edge card (so $32 USD). The one pictured below was found in the Montreal area and there were 8 available copies in store.

I won't pay 50$ for this, but normal voyager price is a go.

Want me to pick one up for you?

That would be really nice! I too, have Edge Platine, but distribution suck as always.

EB Games distribution is weird AF. You won't find the same assortment of collectables from store to store.
Although I learnt of a neat trick today. They can ship from one store to the other. So, for another time, if they don't have a toy you want, ask them to check which store has and ask them to ship it to your store. That's what I am doing for God Skelletor (an other decently priced Mattel MOTU toy).

That's actually funny, the same day it was found in the store, I just received mine in the mail after waiting for two months of delays on top of the preorder. Nice figure.

Kingdom leader T-Wrecks was just found at my local Walmart in Laval.
There was also the big one-step Buzz Bee in all of its AoE mold and safety orange glory. A lone Kingdom Commander Rodimus Prime was there as well.

Not sure if it's newsworthy thought.

Cyberverse deluxe Prowl is back in store at Amazon.ca for a normal price, meaning 32$CAN.

So is Starscream. Meaning Soundwave will be the hotter toy.

And as for old toys coming back to Amazon, here is another shipping in 5 months

There's also the voyager TLK Scorn.

I wonder from what dust filled warehouse did they found all these oldies?

The elusive SS86 leader Dinobot Slug is finally in stock at my local Toys r Us in Laval, Quebec.
They also had a nice refill of the BWBB World Collide 4 pack.

Still no sign of Origin Bee.
