90$ for Ectotron.

Holy crap. #-o

The previous one was 60$ and at that price I didn't want it.

That’s $90 Canadian. So that’s about $70 USD.

I'm guessing there's a premium price attached to these crossover toys because Hasbro needs to profit share with the license holders? Haven't seen the size of Ectotron myself, but Gigawatt seemed significantly overpriced ($59.99 CDN) to me for what it was.

I have that Ectotron and it’s Voyager sized.

All the Crossover toys are higher priced than standard deluxe/voyager figures.

There's higher and higher.

A deluxe is 30/CAN and a voyager is 40$CAN while a leader is 70$/75$CAN.

Gigawatta is DOUBLE the price.
Ectotron is MORE than double the price.
Only the X-Men guy is relatively reasonable by being 90$CAN instead of the standard 70/75$.

Not so exclusive anymore. X-Men Xover toy is now at TrU.
This mean sooner or later it will be on sale and taken down at regular leader price. I'll bid my time until then.

A miracle!

The Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Galactic Odyssey Collection Botropolis Rescue Mission 6-Pack is in stock in Canada at last!

https://www.amazon.ca/-/en/dp/B0863S8V5?tag=seibertron0b-20& ... yp_imgToDp

At around 77$CAN for the set (free shipping by default at least) it look expensive at first glance. But it's quite a deal in fact. That's two 30$CAN deluxes and two teams of micromasters at 14$CAN at full price. So it's basically a team of micromasters for free, not counting the extra accessories.

At last, I can have that damn thing to go with my Skylinx and Omega Supreme team! :APPLAUSE:

Also, I have to point out that I never ever saw those two ER Micromasters teams in store. Any store.

Canada is seeing lots of new stuff all of a sudden. The Kingdom wave 2 deluxes and leader figures have been found so all of wave 2 has been found at retail, same as in the US. The deluxes and Ultra magnus were found at Walmarts in Ontario.

Voyager Studio Series Bumblebee Starscream was found today at an EB Games in Laval, Quebec.

And the Botropolis set is now available on Amazon.ca

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.
