While Canadian Walmarts have been rather barren as of late, the latest exclusive figures are now all being found in stores at the same time.
The second wave of Headmaster figures was found in BC.
The Nextflix wave 3 deluxes have been found across the country (though there is no confirmation for Ontario since the province is currently on essentials only lockdown).
The Netflix wave 3 voyagers have been found in Alberta.

This statement amuses me. I'm not certain American Wal-marts even CARRY Transformers anymore.

Manitoba, Canada, seems to be the first place where the Walmart exclusive Transformers Best Wars reissues were found but they have popped up in other areas of the country since, like BC and Ontario. Cheetor and Rattrap are both 32.97 which Optimus Primal and Megatron are 69.97 each. The images below all come from the Cybertron.ca board. These may not show up in the US for another month or two as we saw from the initial release of vintage Transformers at Walmart in 2018.
As you can see from the Rattrap image, from TF fan SPLIT LIP, Canadian Walmarts also have the new Rescue Bot Dinobot two packs.
JonoPrime on the Cybertron baords also found leader class Slag in an Onatrio Walmart.
In Ontario, someone found never before seen toys as part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line at Toysrus. Those are Bumblegrim and Primelock. Both have Grimlock as the pants and each set gives you a new deco of the Grimlock mold that came out in the Robots in Disguise crash combiner line. The sighting comes from @CybertronBeast on Twiter.

Yes.
I can't say for the USA, but Walmart charge extra for some, and the price is right for other. It's weird how they function.
(All in Canadian $)
Optimus Prime without trailer was 70$CAN when it came out, as well as Astrotrain, Starscream, and the Soundwave/Buzzsaw two pack. Overpriced for Optimus and Astrotrain, maybe fair for Starscream, and totally fair for Soundwave.
Hotrod and Blaster were 40$, which was fair for Hotrod and pretty cheap for Blaster.
There's no rimes nor reasons to those prices.

The Rescue Bot section of Toysrus got a big restock too, with the new Dinosaur themed sets as well as the new giant Jet Prime now stocked.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on August 12th, 2021 @ 6:23pm CDT
Deluxes are now 34$. Voyagers are 45$. Ans those crappy X-Over X-Panse and Ectotron are now a whopping 95$ because they weren't expensive enough.

At least, my local TrU have that "Botcon" Buzzworthy 4 pack in stock. They had 4 of them and at 115$, that pack is now ironically dirt cheap.
My B-Day is soon so I did "the puppy eyes" to my friend and my sis.

These include:
Marvel Legends Storm for 9.99$ (8 USD)
Earthrise Skylynx for 49.99$ (40 USD)
Cyberverse Seeker 4 pack for 29.99$ (23.75 USD)
Here are some photos from a Montreal location.

I wouldn't've had the guts to take a pic until it was safely paid for. You're a brave, brave man.

Both Toysrus and Walmart Canada never stocked wave 1 kingdom deluxe figures on shelves. So you're lucky your stores didn't skip them.

Also available online right now for Canadians is Generetions Selects Transmutate which can be purchased right now for $34 on Toysrus.ca.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on August 27th, 2021 @ 5:56am CDT
Now THAT'S what I call savings!
------------
EDIT:
Well, the price just increased to 211$CAN since this morning. So I was just in time!
Were you?

Winners is kicking it up a notch with Transformers. We had reported on Skylynx and now they have Generations Selects deluxe Hot House. That toy is priced at $20 CAD (about $15 USD). Generations selects toys are rarely seen at retail so finding one at a Market Six store like Winners (Canada's TJMaxx) was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on September 1st, 2021 @ 4:35pm CDT
Don't be.
Especially at below 189$CAN as I write these lines.

Also, allow me to cheat a little bit by showing off the little extra that I got in order to get free shipping. I'm pretty glad they had that thing in stock!
That's way, WAY cheaper than BBTS and it's even a preorder over there!

Yeah, that castle is surprisingly reasonable in price and comes with a 15$ figure. For some reason they priced it as the US price but in CAD.

It's even cheaper. 85$CAN at TrU (available now) VS 95$US at BBTS (preorder).
For once, the LEAF is at an advantage!
I always wanted that Castle Grayskull, but having the complete vintage one cost a zillion dollars. So when I saw it at that price at TrU, I knew that was my chance at last!

That would be really nice! I too, have Edge Platine, but distribution suck as always.

EB Games distribution is weird AF. You won't find the same assortment of collectables from store to store.
Although I learnt of a neat trick today. They can ship from one store to the other. So, for another time, if they don't have a toy you want, ask them to check which store has and ask them to ship it to your store. That's what I am doing for God Skelletor (an other decently priced Mattel MOTU toy).

But here in The Northern US., Good Transformers are A dime A Dozen. Your luck if 1 store out 6, gets A case of Voyagers or anything outside of Bayverse studio deluxe's. Or Walmart "exclusive" War For Cybertron horrid redeco deluxes. And than the 1 store that gets A good case of EARTHRISE OPTIMUS' or Voyager Cyclonus' & Hot Rod's you gotta be lucky enough to walk into it. Cause that juicy case is gone within 48 Hours Tops!

william-james88 wrote:While the Transformers Generations Selects line is not exclusive for the most part, it is still tricky to find. Toysrus usually does stock them but it is not consistent and there is a bug in their system where if an order is not filled after a certain amount of time, the order will be cancelled automatically. This lead to cancellations of all preorders for G2 Ramjet in Canada from Toysrus and the store is currently doing a workaround where they will call people who preordered when the product comes in. But it's a wonky work around and not everyone has their Ramjets. BUT EB Games, which also had preorders, seems to have quite a few Ramjets to spare and the toy can currently be found in their stores ready for purchase by anyone. The price is $45 CAD but $40 with a platinum Edge card (so $32 USD). The one pictured below was found in the Montreal area and there were 8 available copies in store.
That's actually funny, the same day it was found in the store, I just received mine in the mail after waiting for two months of delays on top of the preorder. Nice figure.

Ship in 5 months. What it actually mean is anyone's guess, but it's still better than importing it from BBTS or buying from Ebay.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on September 10th, 2021 @ 10:12am CDT
There was also the big one-step Buzz Bee in all of its AoE mold and safety orange glory. A lone Kingdom Commander Rodimus Prime was there as well.
Not sure if it's newsworthy thought.

Combiner Wars G2 Menasor box set for 140$. Ship in 5 months.

They also had a nice refill of the BWBB World Collide 4 pack.
Still no sign of Origin Bee.

There have been other toys found at EB Games recently like Kingdom Rhinox and Studio Series Sweep. Photo evidence below. The Rhinox was was also found at Walmart.

When's Ravage hitting the UK? And what of the Worlds Collide 4-Pack? Some releases feel like they were made to benefit scalpers.
