G1 Ultra Magnus and War Within Megatron Released in Canada

At least you guys can find them... The only TFs I have near me are Movie Drones, FABs, Real Gear, Classics Minicons, and Alternators.

Moved to Sightings forum.

Forgive me, I'm new.....but "Front paged and credited" would mean what?

Thanks,

The Zellers in Montreal-North had tons of Swindles, Bonecruchers, a few Dreadwings and Brawls, two (now one as of 8PM... Heh) Arcees and a lone Leader Prime and zero '08 BBs, as well as a Tityaniums WW Starscream, G1 rodimus Prime and two RiD Primes. The TRU in Galeries d'Anjou had mostly wave one stuff (Scorponok, Ratchet, Jazz, etc.) in the main toy aisle and right next to the entrance. Saw two Alt Primes for anyone out there still interested in getting him. No Titaniums tho'.

If you report some news item, something we haven't seen before or something the fans would like to know about - you can get your info on the front page news section, and we credit you for the story.

It's good karma!

Not any more there isn't! Thanks for the tip!

And Legends action figures has absolutely zip of interest as of right now, unless you want to pay the ridiculous sum of $75.00 for some of the TRU G1 reissues. They really got cleaned out.

This is also the case with the Toys R Us in LaSalle. Unless you want Deluxe Skorponok, Jazz, or Wreckage, there is nothing there at the moment. Seriously, there aren't even any voyagers left!

Awesome, I already started lurking for these, if Megs is wide released, he'll be as much of a shelf warmer as any 6in Ttanium could be thanks to TRU.

But that Magnus is gonna go quick!

Just a fair warning, you may loose a hand while racing to that one on the isle!

(Nevermind, I was mistaken)

im still waiting to find a UM and they have been out in the US for months now

Brossard TRU [Quebec] now has the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Prime/Megs set, and restocked on some Classics. TheTouch told me that he bought a Ramjet, but it wasn't in the computer yet so they only charged him for Classics Minicons!

Gotta love it when products do not scan at the cash. You can really get away with murder especially when you have the weekend or part-time staff behind the counter. They don't know their hand from their foot!

By any chance, did they have Classics Starscream?

I'm not sure. They might, as they had/have a lot of Deluxes that weren't moving (like the Autobot cars). If you can't find The `Scream at the TRU, check out The Bay and the Sears in the Champlain Mall. It's just a minute of walking from the TRU!

Finally found me a Classics Ramjet, woohoo! There was one more at the TRU at Yonge/Eglinton, Toronto. I was so tempted to get them both. There was also a Cliffjumper.

Picked up Leader Megs on Saturday at Walmart. They also had a few Voyager Megs, no sign of Voyager OP though.

I must say, I've had quite a run of good luck with finding stuff relatively early

*snif* We've been moved.

lol, anyway... cool to hear that '08 BB is out in Coquitlam, I wonder if they're here in Burnaby or Van yet...and if any are left.

I wish I could find a Classics Starscream somewhere, he's the only one I still need.

I always overlooked the classics line, but now I want to get on board.

Way too late I know.

I'm seeking bumblebee and rodimus, and chance of finding these guys in the lower mainland?

Or Vancouver island?

Montreal: The Zellers in Place Alexis Nihon has become the first place I've seen Arcee and Dreadwing at. I've picked up the former - don't care for lensheads, so I'll leave Dreadwing. If '08 Bumblebee was ever there, he was sold over the weekend (If only I hadn't been working!) - there were quite a few big spaces on the racks, so I'm guessing that was in fact the case.

I checked in at the Wal-Mart on Decarie. Plenty of Voyager Megs, Ratchet, Starscream and Ironhide, but little to nothing else.

The Wal-Mart back in LaSalle has now put up a few more Robot Heroes BB/SW UM/Megs packs. GO GO GO!

Bonecrusher and Swindle are now everywhere. You can't go down a toy aisle without tripping over them.

Voyager Prime remains an urban legend for the time being.

They'll be pretty hard to find now, especially Bumblebee. I suggest trying lesser-known toy sections in Sears or the Bay. TRU did have Rodimus not too long ago, but they're gone now, unfortunately.

I sadly missed out on Starscream, after going "I'll get him later" several times... I've pretty much resigned myself to looking on eBay.

Thanks kirb I'll try that. Did you already buy a starscream on ebay? I'll be in nanaimo on the weekend, toy market isnt as huge there might be chance at finding him.

Any wave 1's still left in the lower mainland BC?

I'm looking for Barricade and Blackout.

I actually didn't find him yet, that would be great if you could find one! How do you wanna do it, I guess I'll send you the money if you find him? Thanks a lot for the offer, I really appreciate it. Maybe if you see any 08 Bumblebees too... lol.

As for your question about the wave 1's, I have not seen any Blackouts for awhile now, but Metro TRU still had a bunch of wave 1 deluxes (that's about all they had), however I'm not sure if Barricade was one of them. I would also suggest Superstore, they actually had quite a good selection of Movie toys awhile back.

I got some flyers today; unfortunately, nothing from the TRU...
Maybe next week.

Saw someone in the Toronto subway today coming back from Walmart @ Square One Mississauga with at least 5 large bags full of Mirage and OP Alts. Is there a sale going on & was he just one of the many scalpers out there?

I saw Blackout at The Bay downtown a few days ago; Blackout was also sighted at the Broadway TRU recently. I haven't seen Barricade in several weeks. On the plus side, it looks like he will be included in the next wave of Deluxes in August along with Longarm and Payload.

On cybertron.ca they were saying they were $10. I haven't been around there latley, so I don't know.

They also claim that a manager from Toys Toys Toys bought tons of them (I guess to resell there for insane prices).

That would make sense then. TOYS TOYS TOYS are such rip off artists. Who else would sell the recent Hasbro 20th Annie OP for $149.99? PLEASE!

In the Sears flyer that came today, I read about a sale on all toys: 20% off on Saturday and Sunday. Not sure if that helps a lot since (at least my) Sears has crappy stock and inflated prices.

Frick. I just found out on the A3U board that some jerk came and bought up all the 08 BBs at Zellers in Metrotown. That friggin pisses me off.

"I only kept five!" He says.

Zellers in Chinook Mall in Calgary, AB has a TON of Arcees and Dreadwings, I grabbed an 08 BB and there was one left. Zellers in Market Mall, Calgary, just has a Dreadwing and the wave 1 stuff.

Yea, I found a classified where some scalper bought 08 BB and is trying to sell it for $25

uwgrimlock wrote:Yea, I found a classified where some scalper bought 08 BB and is trying to sell it for $25

Friggin douches. Not only does it make it hard for us collectors, how are the kids supposed to get it if some asshole dumps the lot of them into his cart 5 minutes after they're put on the shelf?

Dammit, people like that piss me off. Stores should start putting limits on things.

Thing is, what the hell do the stores care? They make money of the retards, and that's all thats important. They can always restock later and bratty kids oughtta be more patient!

BC mainlanders:

Tons of Blackout Scorpinok 2packs in Surrey TRU.

But thats all they have...

Are you calling me a brat?

Yeah, they can restock, but what's to stop the same guy (or some other idiot) from coming in and buying them all again? It's just annoying when there's 8 or so of the same toy on the shelf and some jerk looking to make a quick buck comes and buys every single one of them...

True, the stores don't care. Blarg, we are helpless against the evol ebayskalp0rz!!!111

The 2-packs are $29.99.

Glad you were finally able to find one, lester_ninja! Did you see my reply regarding Starscream?

Hey, I wasn't trying to offend you, buddy. All I was saying is that the stores don't care and people like you and me get screwed (kids too).

Hmm, 2-Packs are the cost of a Voyager, eh? That's interesting, it's like getting a free figure, albeit a Scorponok.

I haven't seen these in Quebec; I'm guessing they're some kind of exclusive?

I wasn't offended, merely joking.

Yeah, it's kind of cool about the price of the 2-packs, I got it even though I didn't want Skorponok... but he was free so what the hell. I think they're a TRU exclusive. Maybe that annoying package translation issue is preventing you from getting them again. :S

Remember there was that Voyager Prime/08 BB 2-pack pictured awhile back? I hope we get that here, since I'm unable to locate BB so far. 2 sweet figures for the price of 1! As long as the scalpers don't get them all...

...or buy it, switch the figures and return it. Yay 2-Pack featuring classic Camaro Bumblebee and Scorponok!

Honestly, though, that's not funny. Those bastards!

They killed Kenny. Or at least his childhood.

Hah, yeah, BB/Skorpy 2-pack... good thing I'm not the kind of person who would do that. I just don't buy figures I don't like in the first place. Unless they're free.

kirbenvost wrote:I just don't buy figures I don't like in the first place. Unless they're free.

Same here, unless if I need them for an animation or customization project.

I got the message about starscream. I'm so down, but I actually have to postpone my island trip until next weekend as I just moved and am left broke from the security deposit and first rent and what not.

So if I see one I'll pick it up and let you know.

1337W422102 wrote:I haven't seen these in Quebec; I'm guessing they're some kind of exclusive?

I think they are. The 2 Ottawa TRUs I went to last month had plenty of them, and I grabbed one. It really made me appreciate just how screwed us Quebecers are just for living here: not only did they have two-packs, they had a whole row full of 20th Ann. Ops, both the Optimus and Megatron wall statues, and of course Classics Soundwave (yoink ^_^). At first I thought it was just any form of G1 release we were getting screwed out of, now I realize it's anything even the least bit special. We get the ordinary store releases, and that's all.

I know man, it's the combination of our effing language laws (damn tongue cops!) and the toy companies not giving a crap about translating their packages.

Erin Mills Town Centre Zellers has quite a few of:

Real Gear
Meantime
High Score 100

Robot Replicas
Megatron
Barricade
Bumblebee

I should mention that I saw these Friday morning but have been too busy to post until now.
