Still, neither of these two figures have yet to be spotted in Toysrus in Canada and Huffer is listed as being available to ship, so it's good news to Canadians seeking this figure. This also means that we will soon be able to also order the wave 2 deluxes and the voyager online.

I'm not sure if that's an insult or not.
(I'm Canadian so I'm just asking if its an insult or not)

Absolutely not. It's a poor attempt at humor and an even worse attempt at word play.
But seriously, it does seems like a great news day for Canadian TF fans.

Alright I understand now thanks for clearing that up.
It would be a good day if they even showed up in stores here.
Seriously I have never seen the Windblade or Arcee waves (Crosscut, Nightbeat, Jahixus, Chromia) in any stores around here the latest toys in the generations line I have seen here is Centuritron and a single Skids.

That's too bad, my TRU is stocked with the windblade wave. And I know online isnt an option for you but if you could find a friend, they are available there too.

And I thought distribution was slow in Louisiana. We are usually 1-3 months behind the first sightings.
My city saw extremely limit release of Arcee and Chromia. I can't really complain though; I mean, we did at least get them.
I've switched to online pre-orders for the figures I really want. Which I understand really isn't an option for everyone.

I've seen a bunch of Crosscut, Nightbeat and Jahixus as well as Wingblade, Scoop and Centurion around here, at TRU, WalMart and even some at Winners.
But Arcee or Chromia... nope. It's almost like they simply were not made available by Hasbro Canada to standard retail.

And a single Combiner Ward Drag Strip but I don't even like Drag Strip I'm buying him last.

Hmmmmmm that is a great idea thank you for the suggestion/advice James I really appreciate it.
Might take awhile since I'm looking for a new summer job (my Old one was temporary).
Luckily I have a Pop shop (Like a gas station without the gas pumps) by my house that has a bottle depot where I in take my bottles and I know some of the staff there since I'm a frequent customer so I'm sure I can get a job and save up to buy the current 3 combiner teams.

Agreed, I only just finally picked up Powerglide, and I was impressed with the mold. An evil version with some Cobra affiliation going on is gonna be amazing.
I plan to get at least three, then I can attempt the ridiculousness of Viper dual-wielding Vipers in gun mode.

I don't care about any sales. My Walmart is still stuck at Wave One, GIMME AIRRAID ALREADY!v

You'll note that before you posted this I posted that I purchased Blackjack in Toronto at a TRU. I also saw Huffer.

Ok, but the news was that its now available online and canadians dont need to hope that their store gets a box that isnt sold out yet.

That was PRE-ORDER. Now you can actually order it for real.
But not at that insane price, mind you.

Ok, I see. But yeah, that price is insane, glad I could find a takara one locally.
In other news, for some weird reason, tru has a listing for Offroad, all alone in wave 2.

Ok, I just found it funny that he was all alone. It reminds me of that picture where all the stunticons are chilling and offroad is sitting down far away from them in the foreground looking sad.

That's a great picture, and to make it better, look at it while playing the old Incredible Hulk lonely man music.

I imagine him at Prom and all the other stunticons have a date and then someone comes up to him and tells him that exact line.
Jokes aside, I think the reason why Alpha Bravo doesnt get this is simply due to release date. We are just getting Offroad in Canada now and Brakeneck will be available soon, while Alpha Bravo had months to himself for trying to be part of the Aerialbots.

Why is the official online distribution outlet for Hasbro the last to get the figures that THEY manufacture?

It's on purpose. If they don't solicit orders until after 3rd party retailers have had the opportunity to get items to the masses, those other retailers can't complain that Hasbro is selling direct online and trying to cut them out of the equation.

Can you please stop with this, it is very close to spamming. We already told you and I will say it one last time: HTS will be the LAST place to get this stuff online because Hasbro needs to first have to fulfill the orders of their buyers. Now please stop asking the same question everytime.

Found one set of Wave 2 Deluxe's and a couple Legends Huffer's today!
At Wal-Mart
Oh well. I'll find them in TRU and use my rainchecks eventually.
I even asked if they'd price-match my rainchecks. No such luck

Haha, thanks, thats very nice of you. And after further checking, while it is the first time one of us found Huffer, he has been found in BC since May 1st: http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=58932
And Thundercracker was recently found at TRU in Ontario, which is not too surprising since he started shipping from TRU.ca a few days ago.

Editor wrote:Not trying to be negative, but unless there is any evidence to the contrary, but as later releases are making their way through Walmart and TRU, we may need to assume that the wave with Arcee and Chromia may simply not be making their way to Canadian stores. It may be that HasCan didn't offer or had enough purchase requests to make it possible for a Canadian retail run.
I highly doubt that will be the case. Toysrus did not get the past 3 generations waves until at least 6 months after the states. The first time I saw windblade was when they had that half price on all generation deluxes deal. And guys, think about it, we only got Roadbuster and Skybyte about 2 months ago. This is just feeling long because we really want these but so far they are not taking longer than any previous wave since the time I started collecting.

What may be better than just waiting would be to try reaching and confirming with TRU or Hasbro Canada if they are on their way, initial customer support won't be too much help on this one so it may take a bit of back&forth before getting an answer.
Look at the last GIJoe movie, the figures had 3 waves, but as far as TRU is concerned, the 2 wave doesn't exist for them and the third wave if they had them would have been the bare minimum (the ones I found were all at Target, if they had earlier waves my local one wasn't open at that point), But wave 1... I can still find wave 1 on some TRU shelves. Marvel Black Series may also be effected by this, as the wave with Death's Head, Drax and such I haven't seen boo of at any of the local TRU's.
Again I'm not trying to be negative, especially because I really don't want or need to find out if worst case situation, it wasn't ordered because of an outdated "Girl Robots????" mind set by some out of touch buyer(s).
