Chaos on Velocitron Set Found in Canada and 25% Off Toysrus Sale Begins Friday

Nice, another TrU sale!
But will there be anything to buy?

This sucks...My TRU's never got this in, I'd been stopping in a few times a week at each searching for it. Hate eBay prices for it as well.

This box set will be mine I've already spent hundreds on other Titans return figures to have them all so I technically need this.

Toysrus Canada is doing some changes to its Transformers section. It seems to be happening across the country in light of the abundance of Trasformers toys coming with three lines being maintained at the same time. Toys have been moved from their usual shelves (see below) to a four sided aisle display with a header featuring the standard Generations art for Optimus Prime. So if you don't find your Transformers in their usual area, check along the aisles.

Looks like your Transformers have rabies.

That's so weird that your stores are all in French in Quebec.

Mindwipe continues to be the shelfwarming champion for TR I should take the opportunity to buy one for Fangry since it makes for a decent base for a body for him I can take a pic later of what mine looks like since he is currently taking Mindewipe's place.

It took me too long to get that joke

But yeah, "rabais" is "rebate" in french. And its the law, all signs must be in french. And if there is an english sign, it must be in smaller print than the french:

Product labels, their instructions, manuals, warranty certificates as well as restaurant menus and wine lists must be in French. Other languages may be used, provided French's prominence is at least equivalent.[17][18][19]

Catalogues, brochures, folders, commercial directories and other such publications, must be in French. All software (for example, video games and operating systems) must be available in French unless no French version exists.[20]

Signs and posters must be in French, and they may also be in another language provided French is markedly predominant.

The tagling for the brand is very interesting though, it translates to "Masters of Illusion" which is not a tagline I heard assiciated to the TF brand before.

Sounds like the tagline to a David Copperfield crossover.

I was thinking more of a GOB crossover

Any sighting of this set in the Montreal area yet? I will start hunting for it soon but it would help if I knew of some store who already have them in stock near (relativaly) my house.

The local K-mart moved TFs to that sort of space right before they stopped restocking them anymore.

Let us know when somebody in Alberta spots anything.

Looking nice!

Not in stock yet, the computers says they should be in next week or so.

Someone found them in the Quebec province. The HUNT IS ON!

Where?

Ultra Mad wrote:Where?

Toys r us de la capitale. No clue where thwt is.

That is probably in Quebec city itself (as in, les Galeries de la Capitale probably). I will go hunting tomorrow. Hopefully, there will be one in LaSalle or Décarie.

Still, a 150$ kit? For molds that I already have? Pass.
...
...For now...
Because these Platinum sets ALWAYS get on sale sooner or later.

I can understand the feeling. Beside Nautica and Fastlane, I don't really want the others (they have no real place into my collection). That being said, I will still probably pick it up when I see it.

this set has definitely hit the montreal area. I found it at tru Anjour today.

Yep, I also found them at the LaSalle Toys r us.

Anything in the Alberta area for the Chaos set?

Also will I be able to locate Voyager Megatron at all I never saw him but I did see the rest of wave 3 else where.

Nothing past wave 2 of the voyagers showed up at TRU yet so just wait. Remember how it took a year to get Roadbuster and Skybyte at TRU?

I don't remember because I took a giant break from collecting between the middle of DOTM and the latter half of Combiner wars with the exception of a few figures from Prime... literately I only got PRID Cliffjumper, Soundwave, Beast hunters Smokescreen and Cyberverse Bludgeon.

All of Wave three was and as far as I know still is at the Walmarts which is where I've been getting the new stuff and my Toys R us had wave three for a week which is where I grabbed Topspin and I have rain-checks for the other deluxes in wave 3 for when they restock.

Just so you know, Topspin is wave 4

william-james88 wrote:Just so you know, Topspin is wave 4

I did mean wave 4 sorry I have all of wave three and before besides Megatron, Laserbeak and Titanmasters, Terribull, Petro and Overboard and only because I missed them.

First time I've collected nearly every figure from a line and that's only because I love the Headmaster gimmick and I've got enough money coming in to afford it.

When TrU.ca have W3 Titan Returns, they always get instantaneously sold out. And my local TrU never have them.

Sigh..............

Same thing...I should leave a few traps in the Transformers isle heh.

Just found this lill badboy at wally world pickering Ontario enjoy the pic and happy hunting

I found the Chaos on Velocitron set at my Toys R us today in Lethbridge Alberta there was only one and there was a sale on and I grabbed it!

3 Roadburns and 1 Brawn were there too but I did not grab either and finally wave 3 is there although I already have that wave.

Will update with pics.

The Toysrus Canada prices of Transformers: The Last Knight toys are quite prohibitive with voyagers being $40 now. However, we can currently get two for $40 (so 2 for 1) if you use the current sale and coupons available to Canadians. There is a currently 25% off sale on all Transformers: The Last Knight toys (see scan of flyer below) but there are also Hasbro coupons available to Canadians. these are in limited quantity with unique codes so load them to your phones or print them out as soon as you can. One such coupon is $20 off any purchase of Hasbro toys for more than $50. So applying this coupon to the purchase of the two voyagers (which would be $60 without the coupon) brings them to $40 for two.

I hope this helps Canadian fans out there.

No I-phone nor printer.

Great for Canadian fans. At least they have Hound and Megs. While Every store in my immediate vicinity... Let's say 50 mile radius is overstocked with Wave 1 and they aren't selling here in Central Illinois. My Targets, Walmarts, and Toys R Us have all gone to Slag in last 5 years. Hasbro poor case assortment + poor brick mortar distribution + decreased fan and Kid appeal+ poor Hasbro rep checkins+ poor employee care in restocking/and or stocking case after case of same instead of sending back to warehouse= Total Cluster#$&@



Walgreens, Amazon, BigBadToystore, and once in a Blue Moon Meijer help but Hasbro quality control keeps me from buying sight unseen often... I'm not paying these ridiculous prices for subpar paint applications.

While the US gets Fort Max at Ollies, Canada still has some fun market six findings of their own. The Platinum Edition of Optimus and Megatron "One Shall Rise and One Shall Fall" set has been found at Winners (the Canadian version of TJMaxx) for $39.99 CDN (which is $29.99 USD). This particular picture was found at the Montreal North Winners location but there have been reports of this set being found all across the Montreal area. There was more Transformers related sightings at Winners. They also now have bags of comics, which features IDW Transformers comics, along with other comics, for $10.

Which specific versions are in that OP vs Megs set? Nevermind, found it on Amazon and it's the CHUG voyagers, I see.

Cool. I actually picked up it up in china for 600 Chinese yuan, which is about $87.

Winners is part of TJX Companies. If you have a TJ Maxx or Marshalls check there too. Also, I'm mildly annoyed that i haven't found one of those comic book packs at my local TJX store in months!

Quick Canada! Jump on this if you want it! Their MPM-3 sold out in seconds

Those damn troop builders took all the Gnaws? Never fear I found a school of them at Sears in the Carrefour Laval shopping center. In Laval, Québec.

Happy hunting!

Canada is lagging a bit behind the US on these but not by much. The Robots in Disguise Ultra Bee and Menasor Combiners have been found at Walmart in Ontario by cybertron.ca user Matrix Holder for the hefty price of $49.97 CDN (which is the equivalent of $40 USD, higher than the MSRP in the US). However, this is the very same price that was first found on a Toysrus computer.

The Toysrus exclusive Infernicus combiner from Transformers: The Last Knight was also found and happens to be pretty much the same price, $49.99. It was found at a Ontario toysrus by cybertron.ca user Yonoid.

You think CANADA is behind!! You should see the stock the UK has!

wait, isn't it spelled infernocus, and not infernicus?

LEADER TLK OPTIMUS AND MEGATRON AT TOY'S 'R US ONLINE!

Both are a whopping 75$CAN each.

Optimus Prime


Megatron


And while we're at it, RC Squeek too for 100$CAN.

We have some new Transformers sightings for Canadians. The most popular out of these is probably Overlord. And a sighting in Canada means him appearing in the US can't be too long from now.

RC Sqweeks is also found at Walmart stores across the country. Speaking of Canadian Walmart stores, this is also where Titans return overlord has just been spotted by cybertron.ca user Ridiculousrobot in St. Cattherine's, Ontario.

I don't know how much it costs to do it in Canada but here in the UK you can buy Hasbro's half-hearted and massively overpriced TLK Leader Prime for £64.99 or you can pay £69.99 (plus a few quid postage) and get the far superior Calibur Optimus Prime version from online retailers such as Kapow. Which means you get the Armor Knight modifications to the arms, chest and the head (with battle mask feature) plus the big new axe, and the removable backpack that turns into a cool shield. All topped off with a lovely vibrant much more screen accurate paint scheme with the flames on the chest and arms the Hasbro figure doesn't have. Is really no contest.

Got my TRU MP-10 today!
There's a couple Hasbro TRU coupons floating around, good till end of August, $20 off and 10% off. They're not supposed to be used in tandem, but my cashier didn't know apparently!





I highly suggest you take advantage of these coupons. And with the proof above (my pic of the receipt) then you should be able to double up like I did too! Print out the pics below, they won't accept them in store unless you have them on paper.

Just took a trip to Walmart tonight and I was surprised I found the wave 5 deluxes in my city here in Lethbridge and they had. 2 Twintwists, 2 Wolfwire's, 1 Misfire and 1 Windblade.

They also have 7 Skyshadows as well but he's been here awhile.



You guys might also get a kick out of what I also found in the store. (I'm taking it back I just bought it so I could take a photo)

We have good news and bad news for Canadian collectors. The good news is that the Toysrus Exclusive Transformers The last Knight Deluxes have been found at Toysrus stores in Canada. We are referring to Skullitron and Megatron. The bad news is that unlike the $30 deluxes from the mainline, these are $40. Considering that they are on shelves right next to Titans Return deluxes which currently still sell at $20, this marks for a 100% increase in price from the standard deluxe price point that can still be found in stores for both Generations Titans Return and Robots in Disguise toys. $40 is also the current price for voyager class Movie line toys in Canada, which means that these exclusive deluxes cost as much as movie voyagers (which are already pricier than Genrations Voyagers at $30). And unlike mainline toys, these exclusives cannot be price matched since no other retailer is selling them.

It should be noted that in the US, the exclusives are the very same price as the non exclusive deluxes and that their price in the US, which is $20 USD, would be the equivalent to $25 CDN with current exchange rates. These were found by cybertron.ca user Dak in Toronto.

Come the on, Hasbro!
How much will the Primus go for? 500$?
