It's been over a month since the pegs at my Walmart are nothing but Cyberverse leftovers. The only new things to ever appear are the Kingdom Core figures and that's it.

Meanwhile in BC I still haven’t even seen Kingdom Megatron yet, with EB Games continuously pushing back his release date. It’s supposed to be out this Thursday according to their system, but at this point I’ll believe it when I see it.

Walmart and Toys R Us have mostly been barren wastelands since like November. I managed to luck out a couple times here and there, but for the most part it’s just been wasted trips.

Fun fact, MPM Ratchet ships to quebec even though it says "no"

Yup, I tested it out and my Ratchet came in today

Buzzworthy Bumblebee line spotted at Toys R Us, if anyone care.

This is fun, another year another price hike. Since Canada was behind on the 2021 toys, only in the recent month has it become clear that any new deluxe released in 2021 from here on out will be under the new price point of 32.99 CAD. This is the case for Walmart, Toysrus and Amazon, the three main Hasbro retailers in Canada. This price hike is being seen across all Hasbro action figures previously at the 29.99 price point, so the Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends toys as well.

As for new Canadian sightings, the entire first wave of Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys has been found at Toysrus Canada in Laval, Quebec. These include the Cyberverse and Studio Series rereleases along with the brand new core class mold. That one is being sold for $28 CAD.

Thanks to Kanrabat for letting us know of all this.

I didn't knew it was news!

Well, at least my wallet's sacrifice wasn't for naught.

Price hike at Toys R Us go brrrrr.

Look like it.

Still, Age 3 and Up are pretty reliable and unless shipping is free with E.B Games, it's cheaper with A3&U for Quebec just because we don't have to pay the Quebec tax.

You van pici up at eb stores so shipping is free.

william-james88 wrote:You van pici up at eb stores so shipping is free.

For now, the "store pick up" option is grayed out so it's not possible. It may also be something that will never ever be available in any store because it's too big so it may remain online only.

Still, it's cheaper even with shipping from Age 3 and Up. Just because we Québécois skip the Quebec tax:

Age 3 and Up:

Order summary
Transformers Generations Selects - Titan Black Zarak × 1
$229.99

Subtotal
$229.99

Shipping
$13.99

GST
$12.20

Total
$256.18 CAD



EB Games with in-store pick-up (if available):

Montant avant/hors taxes
230
+ TPS (5%)
11.5
+ TVQ (9.975%)
22.94
= Montant avec taxes
264.44

Proof that the Quebec tax is one HELL of a scam. (It actually tax the federal tax!)

Plus if your order from Age 3 and Up go above 250$CAN, shipping is free. Unfortunately, preorders item cannot combine into a larger order. If anyone are willing to risk it, they can wait until it's in stock then buy something that is worth above 20$CAN to save on the 13.99$ of shipping. But I'm not taking any chances just to save a McDonald meal.

Kingdom Netflix spoiler pack up for pre-order at Walmart.ca:

Nation wide slow news month it seems.

Anyway for your entertainment, only RESCUE BOTS are available at Toys R Us online for some reason.

EDIT: The bug seems to be fixed now.

Canadians who missed out on the original CW Devastator have a second chance at Amazon.ca!
In stock now for 170$CAN plus taxes and shipping as I'm posting this.

https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/Transformers?tag=seibertron0b-20& ... 82&sr=1-31

Look like this thread is my personal blog.

Anyway, those who still don't have a ER Doubledealer can have it for only 46.70$CAN at Amazon! Obviously, for an undetermined limited time.

https://www.amazon.ca/-/en/Transformers?tag=seibertron0b-20& ... 82&sr=1-10

I am here, thanks for the sightings

While Canadian Walmarts have been rather barren as of late, the latest exclusive figures are now all being found in stores at the same time.
The second wave of Headmaster figures was found in BC.
The Nextflix wave 3 deluxes have been found across the country (though there is no confirmation for Ontario since the province is currently on essentials only lockdown).
The Netflix wave 3 voyagers have been found in Alberta.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

This sighting was originally posted here.

This statement amuses me. I'm not certain American Wal-marts even CARRY Transformers anymore.

Amazon.ca will have Siege Omega Supreme back in stock soon. You can preorder him for the low, low price of 287.50$CAN plus taxes and free shipping.

https://www.amazon.ca/-/en/Hasbro-Trans?tag=seibertron0b-20& ... 82&sr=1-32

The very elusive SS86 Sergeant Kup is in stock at Amazon! And at 30$ as I'm writing this. Prime eligible.

https://www.amazon.ca/-/en/Transformers?tag=seibertron0b-20& ... 82&sr=1-82

I secured mine.

Ok so lots of new sightings and even new reveals through sightings to get through.

Manitoba, Canada, seems to be the first place where the Walmart exclusive Transformers Best Wars reissues were found but they have popped up in other areas of the country since, like BC and Ontario. Cheetor and Rattrap are both 32.97 which Optimus Primal and Megatron are 69.97 each. The images below all come from the Cybertron.ca board. These may not show up in the US for another month or two as we saw from the initial release of vintage Transformers at Walmart in 2018.

As you can see from the Rattrap image, from TF fan SPLIT LIP, Canadian Walmarts also have the new Rescue Bot Dinobot two packs.

JonoPrime on the Cybertron baords also found leader class Slag in an Onatrio Walmart.

In Ontario, someone found never before seen toys as part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line at Toysrus. Those are Bumblegrim and Primelock. Both have Grimlock as the pants and each set gives you a new deco of the Grimlock mold that came out in the Robots in Disguise crash combiner line. The sighting comes from @CybertronBeast on Twiter.

I can't wait to see out of package photos of Cheetor and find out what his final colors look like.

Does that Primelock look like Armada super mode Prime or is it just me?

Even accounting for Canada to US dollar FX, those reissues seem pretty expensive. Are straight reissues always that pricey?

Cheesinator wrote:Even accounting for Canada to US dollar FX, those reissues seem pretty expensive. Are straight reissues always that pricey?

Yes.

I can't say for the USA, but Walmart charge extra for some, and the price is right for other. It's weird how they function.

(All in Canadian $)
Optimus Prime without trailer was 70$CAN when it came out, as well as Astrotrain, Starscream, and the Soundwave/Buzzsaw two pack. Overpriced for Optimus and Astrotrain, maybe fair for Starscream, and totally fair for Soundwave.
Hotrod and Blaster were 40$, which was fair for Hotrod and pretty cheap for Blaster.

There's no rimes nor reasons to those prices.

ER "Dead Optimus" is back in stock at Amazon.ca for the pretty reasonable price of 67$can.

Get it while you still can!

The Transformers Bumblebee Worlds Collide pack is out at Toysrus Canada. It was found in Ontario, Quebec and will probably show up at your local one soon. It comes 2 per case and stores are only getting 1 case at first. The price is $109.99 which is not terrible considering the prices are now $33 for deluxes and $45 for voyagers, meaning these would retail at $144 if packaged individually. Then again, that would be preferred by everyone since there are clearly some toys that are more popular than others in this set.

The Rescue Bot section of Toysrus got a big restock too, with the new Dinosaur themed sets as well as the new giant Jet Prime now stocked.

Toys R Us have increased the prices of Transformers by a large margin.

Deluxes are now 34$. Voyagers are 45$. Ans those crappy X-Over X-Panse and Ectotron are now a whopping 95$ because they weren't expensive enough.

At least, my local TrU have that "Botcon" Buzzworthy 4 pack in stock. They had 4 of them and at 115$, that pack is now ironically dirt cheap.
My B-Day is soon so I did "the puppy eyes" to my friend and my sis.

It has been a while that Canadians had something worthwhile to find at Winners, the Canadian version of TJ Maxx. However, a lot of Hasbro products can now be found at deep discounts.

These include:
Marvel Legends Storm for 9.99$ (8 USD)
Earthrise Skylynx for 49.99$ (40 USD)
Cyberverse Seeker 4 pack for 29.99$ (23.75 USD)

Here are some photos from a Montreal location.

Damn.... Having known, I would have waited for the Cyberverse Seekers.

Guess I'm goin' to Winners tomorrow. Skipped Sky Lynx, but at that price...

Same, I took the one in the pic.

Of course, my local Winners should be called "Losers".

I wouldn't've had the guts to take a pic until it was safely paid for. You're a brave, brave man.

Is the color off on that Storm figure's photo or is she wearing a dark gray/black version of her silver costume?

It's the black suit variant

Went to TrU today and they still don't have any Origins Bee. Yet they had 2 more (or was it 2 out of 4 from last week) World Collides 4 packs.

I never saw that one

As I write this, Kingdom Ark is at 190.50$can at Amazon.ca!

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08PPW1KNJ?tag=seibertron0b-20&psc ... yp_imgToDp

Order now, will be in stock on September.

I'm getting one at that price.

I'm so jealous of you Canadians. What's it like to actually have Transformers on shelves? I stopped at three WalMarts and a Target last week. Between those four stores, there were a total of six figures- 2 Wave 1 Kingdoms, and 4 Cyberverse Ultras.

First-Aid wrote:2 Wave 1 Kingdoms

Both Toysrus and Walmart Canada never stocked wave 1 kingdom deluxe figures on shelves. So you're lucky your stores didn't skip them.

Canada is currently playing catchup to the US in terms of recent toy sightings. The Kingdom wave 3 deluxes were found at Walmart along with the wave 3 RED figures. Toysrus is calling folks who preordered Kingdom Rodimus and the Ark. Speaking of the Autobot Ark, it is currently being offered for $190 CAD on Amazon.ca, with a delivery date of October 5. This is cheaper than all other retailers who offer it for upwards of $225 CAD.

Also available online right now for Canadians is Generetions Selects Transmutate which can be purchased right now for $34 on Toysrus.ca.

I cancelled my Jurassic Park X-Over set because even with the 35$ gift certificate, the price was still absurd. Then I cancelled the Ark, then reorder it again so that 35$ gift certificate apply. In the end, my Ark will cost me 184.02$CAN, shipped and taxed, compared to 287.44$CAN if bought at Walmart or Toys R Us.

Now THAT'S what I call savings!

------------

EDIT:

Well, the price just increased to 211$CAN since this morning. So I was just in time!

Were you?

While a lot of Canadians are waiting for a Origins Bumblebee to arrive at Toysrus, we have other Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys that arrived before it. That being the 3 two packs which Hasbro still has not revealed, we don't even have stock photos of these. They are Bumblebee vs Dropkick, Bumblebee vs Stinger and Bumblebee vs Barricade. All three have Bumblebee in the body he had when he first met these antagonists. This was sighted by me at a Toysrus in Montreal, Qc.

Winners is kicking it up a notch with Transformers. We had reported on Skylynx and now they have Generations Selects deluxe Hot House. That toy is priced at $20 CAD (about $15 USD). Generations selects toys are rarely seen at retail so finding one at a Market Six store like Winners (Canada's TJMaxx) was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Still missing out the Ark?
Don't be.

Especially at below 189$CAN as I write these lines.
