Yup
So that was pretty damn lucky of me to have stumbled onto that lone Medix at my local GameStop then.

But here's the Decepticons one! At 195$, it seems expensive at first glance, but considering the base price of each figures, meaning a leader, two voyagers, and one deluxe (around 204$) 195$ ain't so bad. Especially compared to eBay.

And you can get it for 60$ with the 25% off code TRU has sent to r members.

It's been years since they sent any coupons so I threw my R cards to the trash and removed myself from their mailing list months ago.
Oh well.
Mine is already bought and paid for at full price. Still worth it tho.

It feels like "HEY THE TRANSFORMERS SHELVES ARE FULLY STOCKED... With Marvels "shampoo bottle" stuff."
It's the case of my local Toys R Us and Walmart.

Most of the stuff on the shelves in Canada is also kid stuff or really old product. Check the image below, what do you see in the pics that you don't see on your shelves and would like to see?

They got the BWBB ROTB Scorponok packs as well.
At GameStop, they just got the Legacy Evolution Armada Universe Hot Shot and Jolt pack!

Never buy anything from NMC Toys.
That Toronto based store may have been legit once, but the COVID thing transformed that store into a scam. He will take your money, never send anything, then ghost you.
Se some reviews at
https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/nmctoys.ca
And
https://www.yelp.ca/biz/nmc-toys-toronto
And
https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/ ... as_anyone/
So, avoid and report.

First, they have the BWBB SS AoE Grimlock and the SS ROTB Optimus Prime in stock.
They also have the latest JP set and the Top Gun Maverick. Both at full price.
They still have the same things on clearance, but this time, the Earthsparks are at 50%off.
They also have these metal figures.
Finally, the "buy two things on clearance and get the cheapest at 50% off" sale is on. Again.

Below is how various Toysrus stores look like at the moment. You'll notice that they did get the wave 4 Legacy deluxes, but in a small amount, compared to the rest. They are also up to date on the Cyberverse line, with the latest Arcee/Hashtag finger puppets and the warrior Megatron wave.
In other sightings news, the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line is being found in Canada. Leader Primal and the deluxe wave with Mirage and Nightbird has been found at Gamestop.

That's not the "ROTB Mainline" Cheetor in that pack with the optimus. That's the CYBERVERSE deluxes 3 pack. A 3 pack that is still way too expensive even on clearance.

Below you'll find examples of this sale on three items:
Leader SS Primal is now 46.17 ($34 USD)
Commander Armada Prime is 80.97 ($60 USD)
Selects Antagony is 28.77 ($21 USD)

This result in when a big sale like this happen, I already have everything and I end up buying nothing.
I do that too, but for Optimus Primal, my Amazon order had not shipped yet, so I bought it from TRU and cancelled the amazon order

For some reasons, Amazon take its sweet little time to release things. Appart the obvious Amazon exclusives, I cancel most preorders of the standard stuff because I find them weeks or months in advance either at GameStop or my local geek store.

Agreed and so true. Magnus is a good example of that. Does TRU do rainchecks? Can't remember

They did but I haven't attempted getting one in years since they were the worst option for toys. Low stock, late stock and higher prices.

Looks like most if not all big retailers exclusives will be available at all the small independent shops not too long after their initial releases.
So, dear Canadians, if you can't find the "exclusive" you want at your nearest big name retailer, hit the local independent geek shop. You may be surprised.

Very true. Or online geek shop too.

Joe Soundwave is now available at Amazon.ca for only 111$ instead of 150$ from the independents shops.

No prob!
I already have my 3 and consequently, I had to basically pay double because of the shipping. I will not quad-dip but at least, you and our fellow Canadians can finally get the tiny bird for the normal price without having to pay extra.

I'll double check their reputation before buying though. I've been burned once already and that was enough.
Thanks for the heads-up!

The DOTM deluxe Bumblebee reissue, Universal edition.
One strange thing is that it's labeled as "Revenge of The Fallen."
The price is of a normal deluxe toy.
I didn't bought it because I already have the original deep in storage.
Also, sad news.
Toys R Us brought back the expensive prices of 2022.
40$ a deluxe, 50$ a voyager.
Now that the BWBB line is basically canceled, there's no more point in shopping there. Unless the last troopers 4 pack goes on clearance.

The BWBB line isn’t canceled, its just changing names. TRU is getting a bunch if exclusives this year, including Cybertronian Wheeljack which will be a hot commodity
