Looks like Canada is catching up in the rat race that is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Today Seibertron.com member and easily the most attractive News Mod anywhere on the internet Down_Shift found both ROTF Voyagers Long Haul and Grindor at a Walmart in Mississauga, Ontario. What makes this sighting even more special than it already is, is that even though Canada does not traditionally have a "Black Friday" like the good ol' USA, Walmarts in Canada are doing a two day "Big Deal" this weekend on a number of select items. One of these items... you guessed it, all Voyager Class Transformers.

Usually ROTF Voyager figures would be $30.00 but with the two day sale, these newly released bad boys are only $15.00! And that's in Canadian funny money!

Down_Shift was kind enough to provide us with pictures of both Voyagers in there Canadian packaging:

There aren't enough four letter swears in the English language for me to say to show how I feel about hearing this.

I don't know what pisses me off more: the fact that D_S found them, the fact that I went to the Lougheed Mall Wal-Mart and didn't, or the fact that Voyagers are $15 this weekend.

I can honestly only think of three... and damn isn't a swear word in my books. Don't hate the Mod, Hate the Game.

Nope, that's just plain old Grindor. Hasbro went with packaging that reflects how fans feel about the figure and character. We all know that Grindor is really Blackout with a blond wig and ugly skirt on, but we love and respect him enough to not tell his secret.

Hell I find it messed up that in the US (Or in Northern California) I'm starting to spot some Grindors and Long Hauls after a couple months of there being nothing but this pattern of voyegers in Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us (No one cares for K-mart in Yuba City)

It goes something like Ratchet, Ratchet, Ratchet, Mixmaster, Mixmaster, Mixmaster, Mixmaster, Megatron, Mixmaster, Mixmaster, The Fallen, Somehow there is an Ironhide, and the rest are just cement trucks and alien tanks.

And today I found in all stores a total of one Long Haul on the shelf and about 3 Grindors total. I mean I don't know how evey other store in the US is doing but I've had it with all these cement trucks hogging up all the space with it's inability to sell or be an easy transformer to well transform.

I know, hilarious right?

Both Long Haul & "grindor" are for my nephew & niece. Even though Sierra loves her dolls I know she'll end up punking Long Haul from Julian. She love big trucks and heavy equipment as much as he does. Tiny little red necks *sniff* :sad:

Man, I inda wish Long Haul hadnt been released here...now it means he is available and I'm just too poor to get him. Oh well, at least I'm moving out and will have comfort in that fact.

Finally. It's just too bad I'll never find one this weekend while the sale is on.
