Major Price Reduction for Transformers Combiner Wars Toys at Toysrus Canada

Hey guys, long time no post. Just a heads up we got Victorion in at my work today at a price of $149.99. Not 100% if she street dated since we had a similar SNAFU with G2 Menasor

Pics will follow eventually(posting from my phone)

Well time to catch up on all the missing guys I don't own yet.

You cant, its not in the flyer, you can only raincheck weekly specials. This isnt a discount but a new price.

Is ok, I still have my rainchecks for 22$

But seriously, if they changed all their prices o the computer then he should still be this price when he comes out. He's listed at that price online right now.

Alright thanks for that heads up. Anyways after some digging she's street dated for in store on the 15th, for those like me that didn't know.

Luckily that's a Sunday and I always work those

Sorry I can't post those pics, might be a nono for me

Also came across Onslaught and Scattershot the other week at my store, but there was only one of each, and grabbed Onslaught

thats the prices these crappy figures should have been from the start. its amazing how hasbro cheaps out of the plastic and qc on this line, yet the were costing close to 20 a pop.

Funny in my area they just raised the price for deluxes to $23 american.

wow really, i feel for u man. These figures are pretty lousy, i dont care for the indvidual modes esp. if u compare them to the generations line u are left to wonder, wtf happened

I betcha it's to make room for Titans Return. If the States follow suit, I might go back and get some I passed on.

it is for room for titans return, but still cw stuff was pretty crappy for the price, esp next to how awesome generations figures are.

Really, compared to these?


Transformers Generations Tankor Gallery


Transformers Generations Nightbeat Gallery


Transformers Generations Scoop Gallery

And these were so freaken tiny, and talk about cheap plastic:


Transformers Fall of Cybertron Shockwave Gallery

I mean look how short they had gotten compared to earlier generations deluxes:



When talking quality and size, CW beats those generations toys out of the water.

In my opinion, the weakest TF's in the past 4is years were FOC Jazz and Grim. Not that I mind them personally. But aside from the mold abuse in CW, I think its been a friggin solid line.

Hopefully US based TRU stores will follow suit. There's a reason why nobody is buying the deluxes at TRU. It's because they're $18 apiece! See my Death Tweet regarding their overstocking on 'Stomp & Chomp' Grimlocks. They never seem to learn. They stock tons of figures that nobody wants and wind up having to unload them at a loss because they charged too much for them initially and turned them all into shelf warmers.

While figures have def shrunk, and this gen line def was the weakest. They were still better in terms of qc and i personally like them more in respect to cw. Much better bang for your buck.

Now THAT is real shelfwarming. None of that modern "They haven't sold any XYZ since I was here yesterday!" kind of crap I see a lot of people complain about.

Mr_Autobot411 wrote:They were still better in terms of qc

I dont see it, espcially when I think of the hip missassembly for Skids and the terrible heel problem with Windblade.
But what the heck, agree to disagree.

yeah, I totally get that That Bot. It pisses me off too when I see that written especially when its the latest case assortment But this stomp and chomp clearly did not get ordered by the store last week.

While I am here, to my fellow Canadiens, I found Leader Skywarp at TRU.

Well darn, I thought someone would have already beaten me to that, since I found Leader Skywarp last week! Upside to working in the loading bay at a toy store, I get to see them all roll out (no pun intended)

Also, after months of searching, I finally found RID Minicon Ratbat x.x

I am sure I am not the first to have seen it in stores, but I thought it was worth a mention since it was the first time I saw him.

william-james88 wrote:I am sure I am not the first to have seen it in stores, but I thought it was worth a mention since it was the first time I saw him.

Yeah, probably not. Last week was the first time I saw him too. Before that, nothing but Starscreams for months.

Has anyone seen the Sky Reign limbs lately though? I only saw the one shipment a couple of months ago, haven't seen any since at any stores

Looks like your store has quite a few Menasor box sets.... (90s!)

lol, well we both have any very different experinces with those figures. never had those issue with skids. the heel issue with windblade wasnt as bad on mine, she stands fine. Im hoping titans returns line makes up for any issues i had in the cw line, and issues u had with the gen line lol.

till all are one.

Finally found Combiner Wars Warpath and Wreck-gar at work the other night. Thank goodness for the price cut and employee discount

Also anyone in the Ottawa area interested in Onslaught and/or Scattershot, Toys R Us at St. Laurent got some in

I need an Onslaught but my local TrU is drowned under Cyclonusses and Hot-Spots.

So, I can forget to ever see it at 20$ over here...

Its listed online, it should be available shortly. You can then simply buy that and a leader and a leader for free shipping and then bring the leader back in stores for a refund.

But there should be on on shelves soon, did you ask if it was available in the back? Because my TRU got a pack of Onslaught and Scattershot.

I may take my chances and ask.

There have been quite a few sightings concerning new toys found at Canadian retail, specifically Toysrus. Here is a rundown of what is now available in stores:

For Robots in Disguise, the latest Minicon 4 pack has been found, featuring the very first weapon minicon.



Speaking of Robots in Disguise, the series 5 Tiny Titans figures are also on shelves:



More importantly, Canada has Legends Wreck-Gar now and for only $7.99 cdn.



Several Canadians have also finally found Onslaught at Toysrus as well, like Kanrabat, who's haul is below, Downshift and your truly.



The great thing is that all these new Combiner Wars releases are at the new low prices with Onslaught being 19.99 instead of 29.99. The bill below is actually of Onslaught and the four Combaticons which have sporadically been on the shelves among the immense restock of wave 4 2015 Combiner Wars figures.



Here is a look of what the shelves look like right now.

In my huntng quest, I went to 3 TrU and one Walmart. I saw only ONE Onslaught by pure luck and no Wreck-Gar at all. The only wave of CW deluxes are the Optimus Maximus wave.

I also saw these guys at all the TrU:





20$CAN each.
Not too shabby, but these new molds with a bajillions accessories don't interest me.

They were 15$ 2 weeks ago. I got a raincheck

That's more Transformers than I've seen in two Walmarts, a Target and a Toysrus combined.

Since today is release day,I'm safe to post this pic of Victorion I took at work. Getting mine on Tuesday

I found this at my local Walmart in California too.

I made a post for the best deal amazon.ca ever gave us: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... own/35393/

There is toher stuff too. Firstly, Amazon has all the combaticons.

They also have deals on motormaster: https://www.amazon.ca/Transformers-Gene ... 572&sr=1-7?tag=seibertron0b-20&

and windcharger: https://www.amazon.ca/Transformers-Gene ... 572&sr=1-9?tag=seibertron0b-20&

As well as a lower price on G2 Superion: https://www.amazon.ca/TRANSFORMERS-Gene ... 30&sr=1-28?tag=seibertron0b-20&

Toysrus Canada currently has the deal of the decade for Transformers toys. It was reported recently that both Toysrus and Walmart had dropped the prices for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Legends, Deluxe and Voyager figures. Now, Toysrus has a Transformers brand wide sale of everything below $59.99 cdn at 25% off. And it includes the figures with the recent price changes. Meaning that right now, this is the price Toysrus is offering the following toys in stores and online:

Generations Combiner Wars Legends for $ 5.97 ($4.55 USD)
Generations Combienr Wars Deluxe for $ 8.97 ($6.83 USD)
Generations Combienr Wars Voyager for $ 14.97 ($11.40 USD)







As can be seen in the picture below, Toysrus stores have restocked with the Bruticus wave. That means that today, you can own a complete Hasbro Bruticus for $50 cdn (that means $39 USD) plus taxes.



There is also a 50% sale on Leader Class toys where you can now get Starscream, Skywarp and Ultra Magnus (or whoever else your store has) for $29.97 cdn ($22.80 USD). Aside from the special for the Leader Class toys, a raincheck is available for this 25% off deal.



Here are more pictures regarding these deals:

To quote Earthworm Jim, "WHHHHOOOOAAAAA NELLY!!!"

Holy cow! Godspeed to you, my fellow collectors from Canada!

Vache saint! Godspeed mes collègues collectionneurs du Canada!

( )

Although the Bruticus parts are starting to show up in some quantity in stores, it's not available online. And many have a very hard time to find a Skylynx, which I happen to LOVE after the tightened the feet and some paint work.

Shockwave is crazy hard to find too. But the rainchecks really help when they arrive... hopefully.

...Canada, you are so lucky right now.

*sigh* It's times like this when I wish I lived in Canada. Meanwhile my Target still has the 84 bots at full price. They've been there since November.

Haha! This really is just how my luck goes.

Having pretty much given up hope that Onslaught was even getting a Canadian release, I figured I had nothing to really lose by picking one up during a trip to Seattle last weekend.

Whoops.

Now what are the chances of Sky Lynx ever receiving a wide release? And what are the chances of me paying too much for one just days before it sees a wide release?

At the Laval TrU, I report a full stock of:

Leaders: Ultra Magnus and Starscream

Voyagers: Cyclonus and Hotspot

Deluxes: ALL combaticon limbs.

The remaining RID figures are a few $ off as well.

Check out the pics I am now updating the article with:

That's not in Laval for sure...

Some people may be able to find a full set of Combaticons, but I can't find an Onslaught to save my life. Apparently Sears had him but they've vanished. TRU has him on their website but I don't think it's ever been in stock. Honestly, it's like why even bother.

You dont have to bother, just get a raincheck and when he ends up there within the next two months, you<ll be able to get him for 15$. New York doesnt even have this wave yet, just give it some time.
I got a raincheck for the legends class so taht I could get Shockwave for 5$ when he arrives

Its not, this is what Montreal looks like right now

I think I go hunt some more.

Was it at métro Namur or Galeries d'Anjou?
