Since Target's tragic end in Canada, there has been a question of how Canada will be obtaining Target exclusive Transformers toys. We have already seen Walmart carrying the Platinum Coneheads G1 reissue and now it is Toysrus' turn to be carrying what is only found at Target in the US. Toysrus Canada now has the Robots in Disguise One Step Collection 6 pack with the exclusive Optimus figure that isn't sold outside of this set. This set is available online and in store. The listing itself still has an image of this box set with the Target logo found on the box.

The big Stomp and Chomp Robots in Disguise Grimlock redeco is also a Toysrus exclusive in Canada thanks to the new listing on their site.

Finally, Walmart has lowered its price on the Robots in Disguise Warrior Class figures. Walmart is usually below Toysrus' prices so it was odd that both stores were selling these toys at around 19.99$ cdn. Walmart has since dropped the price to the more customary 17.97. It is unknown when exactly the price drop occurred. Walmart's Combiner Wars Voyager and Deluxe figures are still above Toysrus' prices though, which is unprecedented.

I saw that exclusive one-steps 6-packs online yesterday. I didnt bother to report it because I didnt think it was important. However, since it's a Target Exclusive in the USA, it's great new for us cannucks. This way, we will not have to rely on scalpers for the most interesting exclusives. Especially since Hasbro finally have pulled it's head out of it's ass and provide multi-lingual packaging for EVERY TFs they release. Exclusives or not.

Combiner Wars Wave 4 Deluxe are out at Walmart and in big numbers. Every Walmart from Mississauga to Burlington has at least two or three cases on the pegs. Lots of Prowl, Sunstreaker, Mirage, & Ironhide at all locations.

What's interesting is that they are all packed with US Comics. It's not the first time this has happened with CW in Canada as Wave 2 was briefly available at Walmart with US Comics as well.

Enjoy the hunt!

The thing that is even more odd is that these packagings are in English only. I dunno about the other provinces, but these ones would never land on Quebec's pegs.

Yeah the news was more about how Canada was handling exclusivity rather than it being about the availability of that specific figure.

Glad to see the distribution being worked out between the retailers. I was quite pleased with my "Jolly Rancher" cyberverse Abominus that I got from the Ottawa target before it closed, and some of the Beast Hunters repaints looked cool but they were sold out when I had the money.

Now, if only the supply and demand for Combiner Wars could be worked out in my area (Ottawa-Carleton Place), haven't seen any deluxes since July. I had to get all my Wave 2 Stunticons online.

Lots of $16 Wave 4 Deluxe on the pegs as well as $20 Voyager Hotspot and Cyclonus at the Brant Walmart.

Same with every walmart I have been to in Montreal. The good news is that it is a canada wide rollback and the deluxes are priced the same online.

Voyagers are 20$ online but 35$ in store. Will they price-match the online prices? If yes, how to do it without an I-phone?

I've seen Leader Starscream in a few Walmarts as well as Battle Core Optimus Prime. At least 2 of each at the Brant, Appleby, & Trafalgar Walmarts.

I think it's just Starscream. There were a few Magnus as well but he's pretty common around here, so I don't think he's packed with Starscream. I could be wrong though.

Let's hope Leader Screamers will come to TrU soon. I have a raincheck to use! ;)

Haha, I actually used that very same raincheck today for Magnus. Well worth the 41$ + tax.

Oh and look at what my TRU looks like today. Its like I stepped into a time machine and went back to a year ago where there were a bunch of movie deluxes and Rhinoxes as far as the eye could see:

If you have missed out on the mold, now's your chance to get a Doubledealer. It's a bad mold, IMO, but if you can get it on sale, he's worth it just for curiosity's sake.
