Firstly, Seibertron's very own welcometothedarksyde has reported the following two items on Toysrus computers with the following SKN numbers:
-MP Bluestreak- 228367
-MP Starscream- 065129
The price for both is 89.99$ Canadian. Also, the recent images of Habsro's Bluestreak in box confirms that these toys will be available in all of Canada due to the trinlingual packaging.
Secondly, today starts a week-long sale where all Transformer toys below 26.99$ are 25% off.
This sale comes in very handy since yours truly has finally spotted the Combiner Wars wave 2 deluxe limbs at Toysrus, which are currently priced at 13.47$ cdn thanks to the sale (only dead end was left at the Decarie location in Montreal). Time to get your Menasor limbs! Rainchecks can also be given if you do not find the product you are looking for.
Also, for those with families, Toysrus is hosting an event Saturday the 25th, starting at 11 am, with demos and free giveaways including a Lego set. So your kids have something to do as you go scoop up the deals.

Why didn you go the takara route like you did with menasor? That last arealbot will cost you quite a bit since it will only be available online at a higher premium since the distributors dont give the dealers a discount as big as what Hasbro gives TRU and larger stores. The estimate on those extra figures is about 35$ cdn shipped at the lowest.

Anyways, I hit up Winners at Capilano and found a couple Nightbeats and Cross Cuts ($9.99).

What? You mean it's not part of wave 2 or something?

I think he's referring to the upcoming Slingshot release, which is going to give G1 purists their original-team Superion. Skydive, Alpha Bravo, and Firefly are wave 1, while Air Raid is the 4th mainline release Aerialbot and part of wave 2.

Oh sorry, I inferred wrong. I thought you were talking about the true 4th limb that is G1 accurate that will be an online exclusive. The 4th standard aereal bot will be in wave 2. Sorry for scaring you.

From the start, I'm making COMBINER WARS Superion. Originally, there is no member of the arealbots that are an helicopter afterall.
Plus, having a con as a stand-in is just dumb.

I was lucky to find the G1 Megs in store due to the diligence of a dedicated store clerk. Still, IDO want the Armada version as well. However, I'm confident that he'll be at 30$ on clearance down the line. I'm waiting for that.

No tags, but the clerk said it was $219.99.

Over here, we got the Platinum Soundwave (220$) Optimus (200$) and Insecticons (110$). Those things are priced so high, even the scalpers don't want them and the things are shelfwarming.

Oh, I didn't think about the fact thay it may bum out MISB collectors. I was more thinking along the lines of they can't be STOLEN that easely, thus they remain on the shelves.

These things just came out a little over a month ago, I dont think its fair to call them shelfwarming. By that principle, the entire TF section would be out of date except for the RID Optimus and Drift.

I think the opposit simply based on the alt mode. The alt mode only homages Armada Megatron of the two.

That is definitely a first. Maybe we will eventually get swerve and acid storm which have yet to make an appearance in Canada.

Usually, as far as MPs and Platinums are concerned, they used to not last a month in store. When MP Optimus (MP-10), MP Soundwave, and the latest MP Grimlock re-issue came out, ALL AT 100/125$CAN, they got cleaned out extremely fast. By collectors, and many scalpers, due to all of them popping up on Ebay really fast and at double or triple the price.
The latest collector items may not really shelfwarm, but you gotta admit that selling them for DOUBLE the price of similar item used to go for, like only last year, it put some serious breaks on the sale speed.

Really? I got swerve at a Toronto Target back in summer 2014.

Woah, we never got Swerve in Quebec. In the major retail stores, that gen legends line ended with Tailgate and Shrapnel. The only other that were found were at winners.

I also saw Cosmos there but had to pass on him for financial reasons.

I bought Acid Storm at Target with a clearance tag to boot.

That's cool, but now that TRU is the leader in prices (who would have thought), I buy all my local retail TFs there. The only thing I will get at Walmart is Arcee if they ever get her before TRU. For some reason, TRU really lags behind walmart. I reported a sighting of the wave 2 deluxes at walmart a month ago and only now is TRU getting them.

There's a TRU attached to the subway station that I use every day so I check in regularly. Somehow I keep getting toys with minor defects (has Hasbro QC really dropped this much or am I just unlucky?) But I love seeing stuff coming in. I had to argue with TRU to sell me the Dead End I got today because he wouldn't scan (American version) And I had to hold off on buying them all. Offroad looks good in person, while Breakdown doesn't. I really wish more American toys got accidentally shipped to Canada. Pack-In comics beat "collector's cards" any day. I want this entire line. I'm not sure if I can afford to get all the combiners coming out though...

While i'm fine taking a quick look and saying hi to the staff that recognize me, I just don't enjoy doing it more than a couple times a week.
I'm there to shop after all, not hang out.

So ask for a raincheck so that you can go back and get the toys you want at the same deal as this week when you are more financially stable. Today is the last day to get a raincheck.

Some figures are more equal tan others.
It's a real win even if you had to send back Roadbuster. If you didnt had to, it's a double win. A triple win if on top of that, it's the "G1" version instead of the Armada one.
No matter, glad it turn out all right for you!
Also, AOE Deluxes are 10$ at Walmart. So, anyone who missed out on the last wave, now's your chance1

What was the reason you gave for your roadbuster needing to be returned? And did they ask you to provide a picture or your reciept?
