Titans Return Sky Shadow Available at Walmart.ca and Wave 4 Deluxes Found at Toysrus Canada

That's good that wave 4 is here.


Still need to find a Megatron though and then I'm done wave 3.

Interesting. Now, to wait for these figs to come on TrU.ca

We are 2 months away from it being one full year since Combiner Wars deluxe groove was released and yet it is FINALLY getting released in Canada. Amazon.ca is currently selling it for $22

Thanks Will! And bought!

By looking for 12$ to add for free shipping I found that the Transformers: The Covenant of Primus is ON SALE AT 31.76$CAN!!!



That's almost 100$ off! With FREE shipping!

Those living outside Canada probably do not know that Canadian Toysrus stores are flooded with Wave 2 Titans Return Voyagers Alpha Trion and Astrotrain, as can be seen below.



They also have solid cases of Galvatrons and they even recently restocked on Motormasters. A big sale is the only way to clear this older stock and that is exactly what is happening starting today. Voyagers are %50 off, making them $15 a piece ($11.19 USD). Every other Transformers toy be it rescue bots, RID or Titans Return is also on sale with them being %25 off. The only items excluded are the figures above $80. This sale lasts until April 17th. You can also further add the NO EXCEPTIONS %10 off Hasbro coupon that is good until the end of April. You can find that coupon here.

Does this only apply to wave 2 stuff or is that just all there is?

Thats all there is. You cant apply a sale to just some characters since every toy in a size class shares the same number. Thats why the rainchecks work so well for me. They cant give me a raincheck for a specific character, instead they give it to me for the size class, so I can just keep reusing that raincheck no matter the character or the wave as long as its the same class Will be doing my raincheck move next week!

Well darn. If there were wave 4 guys I was gonna ask for a pick-up-and-mail, but oh well. I'll wait till they come here

Why the plural? Isnt there only one voyager in Wave 4? Anyways, I can always do a price match at Walmart for Broadside, though I am surprised you want him that much.

Oh I was thinking the sale across the board. I haven't seen any wave 4 Titans return and I figured that after shipping it would be about the same or less to get them from you ala Sixshot style. But if none are there I'll just wait. I have Sky Shadow, Brawn, and Chase on pre-order

It is, but the others are just %25 off, so it wouldnt be worth it even with shipping. I have better rainchecks for the leader figures (as I wrote in the TR thread) so that was more manageable to send over.

Actually, is there anyone else with Broadside in the wave case?

Kurona wrote:Actually, is there anyone else with Broadside in the wave case?

No, just him.

Damnit Canada, you and your amazing sales!

Maybe this will finally clear out all those Galvatron at my store. Too bad I can't say the same for all the CW Starscream and Skywarp that are just warming the shelves... From last summer!

Sadly I would not even buy Trion or Train at this price.

Becauuuuuuuuuuuse?
Alpha Trion at 15$ is a pretty fun figure. I didnt regret it at 20$ and I would certainly have not minded at 15$.

As for Astrotrain, that figure is so AMAZING that I paid the full 30$ for him and even today I don't regret it. To pass it at 15$ is pure madness... Unless you already paid an arm and a leg for the Takara version.

Many Canadians saw a price hike coming due to the new USD MSRPs given by Hasbro for the movie line, but it was collectively put aside in hopes that it wouldn't be the case. However, the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline has finally been found in Canada with those new prices confirmed. The Voyagers are now $40 CDN instead of $30 CDN which is inline with the $30 USD MSRP given by Hasbro back in February (and $30 USD is equivalent to $40 CDN with the current exchange).
The deluxes also have a major price hike, going from $20 CDN ($15 USD) to $30 CDN ($22.50 USD).

Oddly, these toys are not part of the big sale which indicates that all Transformers toys under $80 are 25% off. This may be due to them not being available for sale yet due to the street date, but that is just speculation since there is no record of a Canadian buying these yet (with the prices being so prohibitive).

Since there was confusion by the Canadian community I would like to reiterate that these prices are for the entire movie line since the entire line is under the Premier Edition label. All voyagers and Deluxes are claimed to be at this price point within The Last Knigt line. There is no indication if this price hike will be present beyond the movie line like with the upcoming Power of the Primes Generations line.

This particular sighting was from Quebec and reported by Cybertron.ca board member cloudhopper.

I bet it will be worse in the UK.

We already know of the Uk prices, you can check them out here: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... gos/37494/

Those are some of the UK prices. UK prices vary a LOT.

Argos in particular has never been great for Transformers pricing. I remember not being particularly impressed during the later waves of Combiner Wars...

Sure but at least it gives him an idea. And it is still unknown if the same variation will take place in Canada since we dont know what Walmart is selling these toys for.

DANG! Does this mean anything for the Titans Return line, or is it just going to be TLK?

Just TLK.

Kind of glad that I stopped collecting a few years ago. Need to take out a second mortgage at this rate if I didn't

Just TLK.

Let's hope the quality and paint aps justify the prices and the "premier" label.

Anyone looking for a Leader Class Sky-Shadow and live in the Oshawa/Whitby area I seen 3 at the North End Walmart in Oshawa today.

Are you fucking serious?

There can't be anything, anything that can justify that kind of price jump. And remember some of these fucking toys are repaints of aoe toys.

Sad fact is that if these prices hold for the future of generations, it will be the virtual end of my interest and ability to maintain this hobby. Even with sales it won't even be in the realm of possibility to continue to buy as I do now. It would be pick up one or two and call it a day.

I can only hope that this is hasbro attempting to milk the casual audience who will be drawn in by the movie blitz. Even then it sickens me because ultimately the biggest audience is still kids. Parents/grandparents/etc buy a lot of tf movie product for their kids. I've helped many parents sort through the confusing mess of tf product on the shelf to find a good toy for their child. These prices put basic tf toys out of reach for kids using allowance or when parents balk at the price as a gift or for a treat. Yes, parents spend money on kids but there is still a thing such as value. I can get a whole hell of a lot more fohr my child for thirty bucks than one small-medium toy.

As a parent, collector, and general human being I am fucking goddamn appalled by these prices.

Now, instead of grabbing everything in sight, one have to pick and chose carefully.

If anyone is still looking for Generations Gears, there is a ton of him at Hart:

Theres a few in MTL. They are the same as rossy. But, this one (on lacordaire) is having a store closing sale. Havent found much deals though. That $25 RID Prime and Strongarm is a joke.

Erh...
Now wasting any time nor extra bus fares for that store.

TLK blindbags Quick Changers found in Laval, Quebec, at Walmart!

Another month, another sale at Toysrus Canada. This one is pretty important though since it will finally bring down the prices on the new movie figures to something more affordable for Canadians. For those unaware, both deluxes and voyagers jumped $10 in price for the movie line. This 25% off sale on all Transformers below $59.99 nullifies that increase for Voyagers (bringin them back to $30) and helps with the deluxes (bringing them down to $22.50). Of course, it's not just movie figures that will be on sale, so will Generations and RID figures. The sale is from April 28th to May 4th. Happy hunting!

Well well well. It was faster than anticipated. Luckily, I still have my receipt so I'll eventually go to have the difference refunded on my TLK voyager Prime.
No regrets for buying early and adding that trouble because it was the only one left.

I just bought Barricade today!

AHGHHHH Rah Bah Bah!

I still have the receipt though so that's great.

My heart.

Anyone in Laval, Quebec still in need of a TR Leader Sky Shadow?

The Walmart on St-Martin have around 5 or 6 in stock.

Good news for Canadians. Firstly, the Chaos on Velocitron set was found in Ontario at Toysrus. This should reach other Toysrus stores across the country soon enough. The price is $150 CDN + taxes (about $125 USD total). With the rumblings that all the boxsets have been received and accounted for from the distributor in the US (which makes sense, since there is only one retailer distributing it), it might be good to have some Canadian friends. The set was found by Transbot90210 from Cybertron.ca.

There is also a Toysrus sale starting in a few minutes from now, for 25% off on all Transformers under $60 (so not including this set). This will help counter the massive price hike of the movie toys. The sale lasts all week, good luck with the hunt!

Nice, another TrU sale!
But will there be anything to buy?

This sucks...My TRU's never got this in, I'd been stopping in a few times a week at each searching for it. Hate eBay prices for it as well.

This box set will be mine I've already spent hundreds on other Titans return figures to have them all so I technically need this.

Toysrus Canada is doing some changes to its Transformers section. It seems to be happening across the country in light of the abundance of Trasformers toys coming with three lines being maintained at the same time. Toys have been moved from their usual shelves (see below) to a four sided aisle display with a header featuring the standard Generations art for Optimus Prime. So if you don't find your Transformers in their usual area, check along the aisles.

Looks like your Transformers have rabies.

That's so weird that your stores are all in French in Quebec.

Mindwipe continues to be the shelfwarming champion for TR I should take the opportunity to buy one for Fangry since it makes for a decent base for a body for him I can take a pic later of what mine looks like since he is currently taking Mindewipe's place.

It took me too long to get that joke

But yeah, "rabais" is "rebate" in french. And its the law, all signs must be in french. And if there is an english sign, it must be in smaller print than the french:

Product labels, their instructions, manuals, warranty certificates as well as restaurant menus and wine lists must be in French. Other languages may be used, provided French's prominence is at least equivalent.[17][18][19]

Catalogues, brochures, folders, commercial directories and other such publications, must be in French. All software (for example, video games and operating systems) must be available in French unless no French version exists.[20]

Signs and posters must be in French, and they may also be in another language provided French is markedly predominant.

The tagling for the brand is very interesting though, it translates to "Masters of Illusion" which is not a tagline I heard assiciated to the TF brand before.

Sounds like the tagline to a David Copperfield crossover.
