While they took their sweet time getting here, Canada has been getting some new Transformers toys. The Legacy wave 1 core class figures have been found at Toysrus and the deluxe figures were found at Walmart. While initial sightings were in Ontario, they are reaching out across Canada now. Just yesterday, the reissue of the original Beast Wars Scorponok in show colours was found in Montreal, as you can see in the image below. The first wave of 2022 Studio Series deluxes is trickling out one bot at a time at Gamestop, but distribution is far from being wide for those.
If you have found these, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

Glad I bought mine at Walmart.ca for 63$.
Still, I don't trust my local Walmart to have any new deluxes.
Also, yay, price hike.

They might have the new deluxe class Slug from Cyberverse.

But at 300$, I'll wait for a sale or just miss out.

On my end, I have zero space (but space can find a way) and mid-interest.
So far, my Legacy money will be mostly for the Stunticons.

It is.
Same price as a leader. It was online at 63$ and I thought THAT was expensive. Glad I got mine at that price in the end.

I bet collecting every single MP releases is now way too overwhelming to continue but at least the MP-10 completion is still feasible, right?

MP-10's are fine. Only one I'm missing (just due to apathy) is the 2nd (Green) Atmos MP-10. But I'll get around to it.
MP collecting in general though... the V3 Seekers really made me re-valuate things. I have all three, but have only opened Startscream. And I don't mind saying, I was pretty disappointed in that mold. Those three figures cost around 1K (CAD). That is a LOT of money for something you don't even like. And maybe these things wouldn't have been so apparent, if a 3P hadn't immediately made it irrelevant. Deformation Space, Crimson Wing. My gawd. He is quality, and he is perfect. That's my TLDR review. But besides him, I can't even say V3 is better than Maketoys Meteor. Which... damn.
This has made me reconsider the completionist status of my MP collection, and I've been looking hard at Fanstoys lately...

Too bad their online store is worthless.

I find their online store to be pretty decent. TRU is the one I'd say is worthless (unfortunately) at this point. Gamestop (for TF's anyways) seem to pop up when they should, and if you're relatively on the pulse then they should be obtainable.-Kanrabat- wrote:I'm a Platinum member and lemme tell you, GameStop is THE place to hunt Transformers.

But you're right. That discount, and the free shipping, makes them pretty much the best place for us right now. The past few years I've gone with A3U, but their $250 threshold for free shipping is pretty ridiculous. I get almost everything through Gamestop now.

Unless their policies changed, the Platinum discount is only for in store purchases. No discounts when ordering online. Beside, everything is usually sold out, or preorders only.
A3&U is great for the 3P I can't get anywhere else and the 250$ free ship is scarily easy to reach. I just wish they would have a pile-of-loot system like BBTS. I would preorder way more if they did.
Amazon.ca and Amazon.jp are the best online stores for me. Usually, the shipping is always free (except for the .jp) and they are usually pretty reliable is you conveniently ignore the occasional crushed box. Plus for Masterpieces, Amazon.jp is unbeatable even when factoring taxes and shipping. Especially now with the low yen value.
I got both MP Skids, Reboost, Starscream 3.0, Arcee, MPM Starscream, Black Convoy 3.0 from Amazon.jp. I'm keeping an eye open for MPM-13 Blackout.
As for TrU, they can die in a fire.

Toysrus is the exclusive retailer of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line in Canada and the hotly anticipated Kup and Cliffjumper wave have been found there. However, these deluxes are $42.99. We all know Kup's colours are better, but are they THAT much better? That's the question Canadians are asking themselves.

I bit the bullet for that Ironhide repaint because I didn't had the mold but for the rest, Toys R Us is the very last place to shop Transformers in Canada.
Amazon.ca and Gamestop are both #1, followed closely by Walmart.

Too often I waited for too long and missed my chance. I'd recommend getting what you really want NOW without waiting or you might regret it. Wait only for things you have mid-interests in.

TRU doesn't do those much anymore. They put a last chance sticker and then get rid of the product to make room on the shelves. It's to discourage those who wait for a sale that never comes.

Oh for sure...I jumped on Origins 'Bee when I saw him. Of course, not a month later, there he was with a big ol' promo price in a flyer.
But I just can't bring myself to pay over $40 (or even $30, come to think of it) for what's really a legends-sized toy in Cliffjumper, no matter how good he looks.

Got the same frustration with Origin Bee, but that was part of the game. And if Cliffy is just a "meh" in your book, leave it.
I still feel the bitterness of missing out on DOTM "Cyberverse Commander" Guzzle. I saw it ONCE at Walmart at the full 10$. "Desirable, but it will be on sale next week."
Ahahahahahaha.... sigh.... Never again.

Also, Select Lift Ticket at 34/30$ instead of 43$ at TrU.

Anyway, Toys R Us finally put the Afterlife Ectotron on CLEARANCE!
....At 77$, meaning barely 3$ cheaper than the original release price before the initial price hikes.

You do have it, right?
I thought the first version was overpriced at 60$. Then the Afterlife one came out at 80$ and that price balloon kept inflating.
So yeah. 50$ would be reasonable. But clearance at 77$ is a big fat joke.

There's also BW Vintage Retrax who will be sold at normal deluxe price while while BW vintage Terrausaur will be a whopping 66$.
Also, an oddity, Top Gun Maverick will be available at... DELUXE price!

Unlike Walmart and Toysrus, Gamestop is just as likely to get solid cases of new figures than assorted cases. So while Sideways and Jhiaxus were found there, you may not see their fellow wave mates. The image below is from a Montreal location.

Pepperidge Farms remember.
The irony is even if TrU did it again, it would only turn back the prices of the Toys to the same REGULAR one that everybody else sell for.

Man those were some crazy times. I once combined coupons with a promotion to the point that I would get a free TF for each TF I buy.

The entire Velocitron line was found at around the same time as the US but the wave 2 deluxes have also been found now, in an Alberta Walmart. The only 2 new toys in that wave are Crasher and Shadowstrip. The image below is provided by Phtcndn who posted it on Cybertron.ca.
RED Galvatron and Shockwave have been found in Walmarts in Ontario, you can see them in the image below.
The wave 2 Legacy core class toys have been found at a Walmart in Quebec.
EB Games were fulfilling their preorders for Blitzwing the past weeks but they seem to now have some on the shelves as well.

You know, I was making a joke, however doesn't that make it even better, that now in order to get the G2 Menasor you'll need to pick them up possible as separate exclusives.
A couple will be Walmart exclusives, another will be Amazon exclusive, a third will be w a target exclusive and maybe the final will be a pulse exclusive.

The 4 pack is $129.99 CAD which comes out to $36 per deluxe, which is almost $10 less than what Toysrus currently charges for deluxe figures, like SS86 Arcee and her wavemates which were also found at the same location. This particular sighting comes from Collectingtoys who posted on cybertron.ca.
