25% Discount on most Transformers at Toysrus.ca

william-james88 wrote:Every so often, Toysrus Canada makes a brand wide discount for Transformers and this is one of those times. Almost everything aside from the big ticket items are 25% off.

Such as:

Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Deluxe Class for $13.47 ($10,65 USD)

Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Voyager Class for $22.47 ($17.76 USD)

Transformers - Robots in Disguise Warrior Class for $14.97 ($11.83 USD)

Transformers Robots in Disguise Decepticon Hunter Pack for $14.97 ($11.83 USD)

I bought CW Cyclonus yesterday at full price so it will not suddenly dissapear in case of a sale. I held on the receipt in case a sale will come up. It once was at 15$ but I guess 22$ is better than nothing. I'll get my partial refund tommorrow.

With the recent talk of TRU Canada having some good prices I decided to check TRU US. Not much there but Goatimus Prime is on sale(still, I believe?). About 80 bucks shipped.

It's been a long while since Goatimus is 100$CAN over here too. I guess the price will never get lower than that. :/

An ebay seller has factory sealed Clampdowns for 50$. It would be too soon for this to be a KO.

Hopefully Computron hits pretty early in the month. I decided I am going Hasbro over Takara. I actually prefer the different molds that Hasbro used (other than the Air Raid to Strafe rather than Blast Off to Strafe, but 5/6 vs. 3/5 is better for me), plus Scrounge!

Let the race for Groove BEGIN!

Hahaha, that was the first thing I did was check HTS and others for groove.

Sounds like a great offer, shame they don't sell Internationally

Of course a sale comes out RIGHT AFTER my latest BBTS order ships :/

I'm with you on hopes of Computron hitting early this month. I will most likely miss Groove on Toyshop...had better luck with Target. As for this 15% discount being worth more than a molten pile of stinking slag remains to be determined. Amazon dropped the Combiner Wars gift sets prices like a hot potato, and you can still get them cheaper than applying Hasbro's discount. If Computron goes to Amazon...I'll just hold out until it hits $85 or lower.

G2 superion was 85 shipped from the ebay HST page just a couple days ago. Might still be up at that price, not sure

Guys, it isn't May until tomorrow. If I remember correctly from last year, May Mayhem didn't happen until the middle of the month. I still can't believe Hasbro is only doing one figure.

Wait, are they not doing Groove and Blast Off?

G2 Superion at right about $75 on Amazon.

with Prime shipping.

Think about it, The Combaticons haven't been released in Japan yet, I'll bet Hasbro can't release an exclusive mold before Takara. Maybe next year they'll release Blast Off with the Japanese version of Strafe.

2 things:

1. Hasbro released CW Slingshot and Wildrider before Takara came out with their components.
2. Strafe is not the only toy that differs from Hasbro in the UW set. Lightspeed and Nosecone are just as different than the Hasbro versions and nosecone is just as much a retooled as Strafe is.

1. Those were just heads, though, not entirely new molds. And said heads were Hasbro pretools. Hasbro had no involvement in Takara's Blast Off.
2. All of the molds in Hasbro's Computron set are molds that they designed and currently have access to. UW Strafe is from a mold that Hasbro evidently doesn't have access to yet.

My point wasnt about the mold use here but more about why hasbro would just rerelease UW Strafe and not the others when they already had their unique strafe mold along with all their other different versions of the technobots. I feel they wont both releasing UW Computron in the states, they already have their COmputron with all the necessary players, including their own exclusive mold.

Those were simple repaints with a new head, Blast Off is a new mold top to bottom. Strafe makes sense to release with Blast Off since they share the same mold. Then again it might never happen since by next year we'll be knee deep into Titans Return.

Or there's no rhyme or reason to it and they're going to use Blast Off next year if we collectively cry to them about it enough.

Nope. Still no thanks. I'll just wait for the Masterpiece.

Masterpiece Beast Machines Primal? I dont think thats happening anytime soon

Optimus Primal does look cool in that whack deco and that is a very tempting price, but I just can't get on board with this guy.

SOLD! I love Optimus Primal. I love gorillas (secondarily to wolves). I was born in The Year of the Monkey (1980). I've wanted this one for a while, but the price was ridiculous. $50 and some change is much easier to justify. Thanks for the tip!

Sadly, still not enough. But I think it'd still be a tough sell for me at $20. I just don't have fond memories of Beast Machines except for the vehicons. The beast modes never appealed to me even in the cartoon, let alone the toys, and I never got attached to the characters (again, except the vehicons) the way I did with Beast Wars. And knowing that a really awesome version of the same character from Beast Wars is coming soon, it pushes my Meh-factor too high.

Now should they do platinum releases of the large vehicons, I'm sold.

Not exactly what I meant, but I'd still rather wait 20 years or however long that might take to get a BM Primal with actual effort put into it.

thats a pretty good price, to bad im flat broke

I was gone for the weekend. Mom had about 10 tons of soil to put in her garden. I provided the muscle.

Just subscribe to Amazon.com (.ca is a joke. Don't bother) Next, just put that shit in your basket and check-out. Uppon checking out, you'll see if they ship to Canada or not. Most of the time, they do. Usually, the shipping price is pretty reasonable too! One thing you might hate are the "import charges". Those are the custom taxes you pay in advance. If customs hit, that amount is already paid at no extra charges. If customs don't hit, THE CHARGES ARE REFUNDED. Finally shipping ir usually pretty damn fast. Beware though, they don't take paypal. Only credit cards.

Hope this help!



BTW, I pulled the trigger and bought it. That ammount to roughly 85$CAN all taxes included. Maybe 10CAN less if the import fees are refunded. That's the best deal ever we cannucks can get because if I look at the other similarly priced Platinums on TrU, the best price will be 100$+taxes, meaning around 115$CAN.

Beside, a G1 Optimus colored Optimus Primal is somewaht quite cool!

-Kanrabat- wrote:*snip*

You da man Kan

Thanks for all that. I do really want one, and I agree that's likely the best price we'll see, but I got other figures I think I want more than him.

Got mine on Sunday. I like him. Robot mode is imposing and reasonably poseable, and gorilla mode is just cool looking. Plus, ro-butt.

He'll look nice standing next to 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime on the fireplace mantle.

Fellow Seibertronian LevelRaze1 has popped round the staff inbox with a reminder about the current May Mayhem sale over at Hasbro, and the price reductions on Transformers items on the HasbroToyShop eBay page! Discounts about for Generations, Combiner Wars, Rescue Bots, and Robots in Disguise figures, check them out!

I think the ebay deals actually started in April.

April Aprilhem doesn't have the same ring to it though

Speaking of May Mayhem, has there been any more traction on Groove yet?
