I am thinking of getting those minicons, its not often that stuff below 10$ goes on sale. Its either full price or clearance.

There should be plenty of saturation in the next few weeks. Onslaught should be out this week or next (at least in my area). Wish I could say more about Shockwave and co but I honestly don't know when those will show up.

Did legends groove ever show up in any of your local TRUs ? He only showed up at Walmart in Quebec.

MP Bluestreak is no longer available online at tru.ca? How can this figure possibly have sold out online?!

My guess is that they were all transfered to the stores. That toy is shelfwarming hard because it's so expensive for something so small. I paid 60$ for it and it shouldnt be more. Those who still havent buy it, try your luck on Boxing Day. He's worth it, at least on sale.

Same here, I'm pretty sure that whole wave never turned up at TRU. Bluestreak is starting to dry up in store as well, we probably only have a few left

Had to import my Groove from the USA. I never, ever saw it in any stores.

I want to say yes, but I'm honestly not sure. I'd have to backtrack some of the other sightings forums to see.

I thought so! I remember seeing Warpath thinking that I would wait for a sale to pick him up but never got around to it.
He and Groove are EVERYWHERE just across the border though.

Kinda like Metroplex at 30$ that once happen. I'm not a member of Costco, but when I go whith my dad, they never, ever have any TF for sale, yet alone a deal like that.

Maybe they were all moved into stores. Those shelves must not cool down afterall.

Platinum G2 Optimus is 99.99$ right now though. A nice discount but still too much when you can buy the Takara rerelease at the same price, which has inifintely better deco.
Also, Merry Christmas Kanrabat!

Please, that would be awesome! Thanks! And could you take a pic of G2 Superion on shelves when you have a chance. That would be the first in store sighting in northamerica.

If Goat Optimus go down to 50$, I may buy him just for the sake of having the trio. I may keep it sealed.

After a couple drops already, the half off deal, I really doubt we'll see any more drops. 100 is the top end of what I'd pay for Prime (80-90 is more what it should have been), and the bugs for 35 is a dream. I'm pleased as punch with my deal today

I would so have jumped on this if I didnt already bought the commemorative Astrotrain for... 75$.

As for Superion, it's only around 30$ more expensive than if you'd buy all the figures separately. In comparison to other Platinums, that's pretty reasonable.

No need to wait, I wrote the skis so that people here can get rainchecks the next time there is a sale on items above 50$. For the g2 stuff, Walmart carries them too so getting them at a discount won't be that big a problem

Lots and lots of YOTM Primal Primes and the Hot Rod/Junkions sets at the Oakville & Burlingron TRU.
Spoiler Alert: I saw the new Titans Returns Hot Rod a few days ago and I'm happy to say it blows the old Rodimus mold out of the water. His wave mates are pretty great looking too, hard to say who the best of the bunch is.

So lucky!
About the two packs, I feel the same way and i am looking forward to a sale. However, I a really surprised that there have been no sales so far on the RID minicons or even the RID Legion Class figures. At either Walmart or TRU.

All of the Walmarts in this area are doing their shelf shuffle and the TF sections around here have been pretty much, cut in half. I'm sure they will do another Voyager sale to blow all those Motormasters out the door soon (not that it worked that well last time)

You are not alone. If these get discounted 50% (which being walmart online toys probably will), I am pretty sure I'll buy it. What price would you buy it at?

I'd probably settle for $99.95 + tax. A 50% off sale would be amazing if it were to come up though!

Thankfully, they've been making their rounds the last few weeks. Wheeljack needs stickers and paint like pancakes need syrup, but other than that I really like this last wave.
