Transformers Combiner Wars Fan-Built Victorion: In-Stock At Wal-Mart.ca

I thought it was supposed to be $99.99?

100 USD exchanges for 130 Canadian dollars. Not sure about the extra 20 on top, but I hear Canada has expensive toys, even accounting for the exchange rate.

Edit: Whoops, scooped by a minute.

being canadian can sure suck at times, we always get killed with higher pricing and lack of stock.

But it can also be the best place in the world to collect: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ale/35409/

You give and you take. I dont know whats better somethines though like: would I have preferred getting Arcee, Chromia and Brainstorm locally over the fact that I was able to get a complete Bruticus for 60$

its totally hit and miss, i still havent seen much bruticus limbs or onslaught in stores around my area, Toys r us has become really brutal with stock, walmart all ive ever seen is crappy RID figures. MP Starscream never showed up at any of the TRUs i worked at, or stores of other mangers i Knew.
Basically i dont agree its the best place to collect, its just ok to meh. I have a TF dealer thats how i do my business. He gets everything i need at very decent prices. Otherwise i prolly wouldnt have added arcee, brainstorm, and chromia. which are outstanding figures. I saw that crazy sale Tru had last week, i got there first thing in the morning, they had NOTHING, so yea thats why i feel that being a canadain collector kinda blows. Esp with our dollar.

I said its sometimes the best place to collect and sometimes it sucks. What I meant was that it varies greatly and can sometimes be awesome. For example, when you went and they had nothing, you could have just asked for a raincheck. I did, like that when they stock Legends Shockwave, I will get him for 5$ You didnt want to do that?

i worked there so i know. they didnt have anything my dealer cant get, i have legends shockwave already, was looking to see if they had any onslaughts and limbs. didnt have any. so i found a dude on kiijjii and traded some movie doubles for his set lol.

the rain checks are even hit and miss cuz sometimes they never get the product back in, just like with Mp screamer, had a raincheck never came.

anyway thats life. Till all are one.

Here in Edmonton the only things we missed out on was Bruticus (he came, but very sparsely) and FOC Ruiniation. MP Screamer was here, but sparse as well. As for Arcee/Chromia/Brainy, they weren't released Canada wide.

I see us talking about MP Starscream and in comparison to other countries, our distribution with him was the same or better (i.e. he actually was available, I bought him online). He was sparse all over north america. But the scalpers were insane on that one. My TRU never restocked after initial shipment which the majority can be found in this scalper's cart I took a pic of:

I'd say our distribution is pretty great. Even growing up in Ft Mac, with only a Zellers and later a Wal-Mart, I didn't miss out on much. Compared to the likes of the UK, I won't here me complaining (much)

i live in toronto man, not downtown, but just outside the city. It was a brutal time trying to find stuff. No screamer, bruitucus. arcee, chormia. Platiumn seekers, or typicticon. No defensor limbs, or hot spot, just saw them once at the store i worked at. Mostly it was crappy RID figures that were shelfwarming. its odd i know but trust me i couldnt find anything, walmart was the worst though. Thats why i have a TF dealer.

That kinda shocks me. Do you ever venture in the city to hunt? You should see if there's a local Facebook group that report sightings, I'm a part of one for Edmonton and it's helped me lots.

Also, I'll add that the Seeker Squadron never physically hit Canadian shelves, just online at Wal-Mart.ca (where they're still available). And Trypticon as far as I know never physically hit Canadian or American shelves. Closest we ever got was a decently priced Amazon listing (also still available).
