Canada is currently playing catchup to the US in terms of recent toy sightings. The Kingdom wave 3 deluxes were found at Walmart along with the wave 3 RED figures. Toysrus is calling folks who preordered Kingdom Rodimus for pickup and EB Games is doing the same with the Autobot Ark. Speaking of the Autobot Ark, it is currently being offered for $190 CAD on Amazon.ca, with a delivery date of October 5. This is cheaper than all other retailers who offer it for upwards of $225 CAD.
Also available online right now for Canadians is Generetions Selects Transmutate which can be purchased right now for $34 on Toysrus.ca.
And EB Games recieved the latest wave of Studio Series voyagers including Wreck Gar and Thrust.

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.

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.
Posted by william-james88 on September 29th, 2021 @ 8:07am CDT
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.

Saw a scalper listing on eBay. Starting bid: 120$CAN. I hope the guy will get stuck with it.

Kingdom T-Wrecks as well, and more BWBB 4packs that I can count.

A big surprise has been finding the Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Ratchet set at Winners, which is what TJMaxx is called in Canada. This set is only $30. It has been found in a few provinces so far, like Quebec and Ontario.

On my end, it's always Rescue Bots "shampoo bottles" available and nothing else.

I chucked in the package dimensions and weight from the Amazon listing because I thought that would be fitting. Destination Australia, sending from a random Quebec postcode I plucked off Google (rounded UP to the nearest decimal by the way, so instead of 31.39 x 22.81 x 8.41 cm it's 32 x 23 x 9 and 1.1kg instead of 1.03) - it said about 30 CAD for Small Packet ($31.17 specifically).

Then for DOUBLE the previous price, you get tracking and insurance, but it's still snail mail.
Double again, and it's finally air mail.
Now add the covid restrictions on top and the fact that the GESTAPO may prevent your package for ever reaching your local post office and it's a recipe for disaster.
Individuals get really screwed over with postage fees compared to stores.

It was great to see a big Transformers section still around on a non Movie year. By comparison the Star Wars toy section was really reduced with there being no movies this year. Marvel, however had an even bigger section than Transformers, due to there being 4 films and 3 series out this year (one film being Spider-man with loads of toys). There was also loads of He-Man, Ghostbusters and Power Rangers, a real smorgasbord for anyone who grew up in the 80s or 90s. Overall, as you can see below, the store was overloaded with toys. Enjoy.

To be fair, at its peak there were probably 10 times as many TRU stores in the U.S. as Canada to meet the demand at the time. Unfortunately nothing good lasts forever.

I live in the biggest suburb (Markham) of the biggest city (Toronto) in Canada. And the Walmarts & TRU around my area is not that much different from this photo for TFs. The WM & TRU in the biggest Mall in the area both dedicate about 1 pane (3-4 feet?) wide for TF only. They scaled back the TF section since around AoE and has been ever sadder since. I given up toy hunting in brick & mortar stores about 4 years ago. It's much more assured to get what I want online.
TRU Canada's website absolutely sucks at listing new items. Walmart.ca's prices are mostly ridiculous and scalpers' paradise. I'm now mostly forced to order sing Amazon.ca & GameStop if I want to get anything that's new.
