Cybertron.ca member freakx2001 has reported finding last years SDCC exclusive Autobot Blaster figure at Home Sense/Winners stores in Ottawa. The incredible part is that the figure was priced at just $19.99.
We have to wonder if these will show up in the U.S. at discount retail as the same parent company that owns Home Sense/Winners also owns Marshalls/TJ Maxx here in the U.S.
You can always post your findings in our Sightings Forum to give your fellow collectors the heads up.

Very nice!
If somebody in Canada could hook me (in Europe) up with a SDCC Blaster for around this price (+ gas money) + shipping, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Will gladly pay a member for his time and whatever they thought reasonable for one of these. Was looking into buying one just not wanting to pay $100 shipped from BBTS.

Canadians always have the fun the States miss out on. 
But at 20 bucks? Man, what a deal!

Wow...that's, amazing actually.
I have blaster, but, for 20 bucks, getting those 3 cassettes would be worth it.
Something strange is going on in the state of hasbro.

Good luck finding any of these though, Winners/Homesense stocks very little toys, if any. I'm guessing Hasbro had a few cases and they cleared them out. They've only been sighted in Ontario, I'm guessing they won't be seen farther than that.
...yeah, I checked my local stores yesterday and was disappointed.

if these do come to the US i know i wont be lucky enough to find one, Blaster is one of the G1 figures i really want but i always get screwed over when i try. Hell i wasnt able to find the RTS stuff that was showing up at discount stores.

Awww, WTF. I paid $50 for mine from HTS.com last year!
But, I do still hope I find one at a TJMaxx, then I can open him!

While this is great news for fans who don't have one yet, it's bull**** for those of us who stayed up late to order one off of HTS after the con... if these somehow find there way to the states I'll snag a few but man , talk about messed up...

Aww man now I've gotta go winners hunting and I was just at one today though they didn't have anything transformer related other then star wars transformers. I still kick myself for missing the ROTF prime and Jetfire for $60 together at Winners. T_T

I REALLY don't think these are going to show up in any significant numbers, so don't get your hopes up, people. Winners has very limited stock and selection for toys.

i had to test my luck and went to the closest tjmax and marshalls just to see...i lucked out with the hasbotoyshop exclusive megatron and OPtimus in the silver and black boxes there last year i think it was....no luck but i did snag HA Bumblebee and HA Jazz for 16 a pop....still hoping tho either i get him around me or one of our northern friends find some for us...
