Am I the only one who couldn't give crap about Botbots?

You're not the only one. Still, there's enough people who are into the little guys so the line keep going.

Speaking of TrU, I'm glad I finally found ER leader Optimus Prime. I'm surprised to say that he's well worth the full 80$can with taxes.
I'm still using the Club R warranty so that if he get on sale in the next 90 days after purchase, I can get the difference refunded.

Rainmaker sets still on shelves yet ebayer asking for stoopid prices

I need a Nova Storm. Those Rainmaker sets just sitting there

Just laugh at them.
The rainmakers are on shelves still, but at the regular 100$can plus taxes. They'll be on some final sale soon enough.

That's a terrific price though since that's the old voyager price an not the new one.

That, I know. But the set went down to 75$ often enough. That sale price is still too much for someone like me who already have his fill of seekers.

lmao "shelves are full."

Guarantee this is not the photo you will see at 90% of the stores in the country. That's not a TRU thing or their fault. TF distribution has been rotten for the past year+ at all outlets.

You can say that again. Especially for my local Walmart where it's Tumbleweed City.

But we're talking about toysrus, didnt you say that yoir toysrus had quite a lot of stuff?

william-james88 wrote:But we're talking about toysrus, didnt you say that yoir toysrus had quite a lot of stuff?

My local TrU didn't really had that much new stuff. It was a miracle that I got a ER Optimus. There was just one among at least 8 ER Astrotrains. As for Studio Series, they are still stuck at least 3 waves behind Walmart. This is ridiculous.

Not new stuff, just stuff, did your tru have lots of stuff? The discussion here is whether ir not thr shelves are full. TRU has always been behind walmart, thats nothing new.

What's the point of being full of old stuff?
Sure it's nice for the latecomers, but still. Eh, just a few months back my TrU was FULL of stock... That is, TLK "premier" deluxes and TLK "premier" voyager Hounds.

That's more product than any store within 50 miles of me has!

Having inventory is nice, wish TRU was still around here in southern USA... mostly just jealous of that Omega Supreme on the very end though, would like to get a nice price on one of them.

Cyberverse Armor Cheetor is on clearance at Toys R Us for 26.48$!

Siege battlemasters are on sale at walmart for 0.02$

william-james88 wrote:Siege battlemasters are on sale at walmart for 0.02$

More or less true. This is what I call a "stealth clearance". And so far, those kind of clearance are independent from each Walmarts. Last time when I bought a bunch of Battlemasters at 1$ each at a Walmart, they were at full price in another Walmart the day after.

So unless it's "official rollback", all clearance sales are independent.

While there are several figures found recently in Canada that have yet to hit the US, there are others that are really late.

We'll start with those. The Studio series deluxe wave that includes Offroad Bumblebee, Shatter and Roadbuster has been found at brick and mortar retail. They were found at Walmarts across the country with the specific sighting below coming from Montreal, Canada.

The voyager wave with Sentinel Prime has yet to be seen and the previous voyager wave with Mixmaster was never spotted at big box retail (just Amazon and briefly EB Games). So if any of you Canadians spot those voyagers at Walmart or Toysrus, let us know.

There have been many new sightings for Earthrise. All the following come from boards posts on Cybertron.ca.

Skylynx was found in an Ontario EB Games by AgeofTransformers. They also found leader class Doubledealer at Walmart.

Rung and Slitherfang were found in an Ontario Walmart by Transbot90210.

A collectable store found in Ottawa and Montreal called CMD got their shipments for Earthrise Scorponok and Skylynx as well. That was reported by Huasotron 75.

I can confirm some of this. I received today my Skylynx from CMD store in Ottawa. He is amazing but I should have waited to find him at EB Games. I also saw and bought Shatter and Roadbuster from EB games in Montreal sunday.

I don't have faith in my local Walmart. It's a store that is very shy in stocking anything.

I often read on this site that so and such was found at stores in Australia or Canada. That is great for persons that live there. BUT I rarely ever see any Transformers at my local Walmart (or anywhere else) here in Florida. If I really want to get a certain figure I have to order from an online seller. The so called, "Brick and Mortar stores", here have very few TF figures. I wonder if other U.S. States have this issue or if it is just Florida.

Being Canadian, a Canadian sighting doesn't mean much when the damn things never appear in my town. So you're not alone in this.

Thank you for your reply. It's kinda nice to know its not just happening in Florida. I mean it is depressing but "misery loves company" as the old saying goes.

Of all those sightings, the only one I saw at my Canadian Walmart were the studio series figures which were already released in the US months ago. So we are all in the same boat.

I understand your pain of finding Transformers at retail. I can have access to two Walmart and 2 Toys R us and even then, sometime I can't find what I want to buy. I had to order online Siege Voyager Springer (at high price at that) because he never showed up anywhere near me. I never was able to get my hands on Bumblebee's Optimus for same reason and he is going online for insane price right now. So yes, distribution might be an issue.

I had to import my SS Bee Optimus from Japan via Mandarake. It was the cheapest way.

Still haven't bought from Mandarake even though some people suggested it at a Transformers panel last years at Montreal Commicon. I might give it a try because SS Bumblebee Optimus is crazy expensive on secondary market. And I really want him.

Maybe it was ME, who suggested it to you.

So far, Mandarake is custom free as long that you don't use DHL. But due to the COVID bullcrap, packages are delivered extremely slowly.

Just in case, the SAHRA store is the only one that give you the shipping cost up front. Use it to estimate the cost of shipment for the other stores. And of course, combined shipping work only in single stores.

Finally, EVERYTHING is "packaged damaged" to avoid the OCD mint-collectors. If there's a real issue with the condition, it will be stated. If the thing you want is out of stock, you can always put it in your alert list and hope for the best! I got a few things this way.

I think I spent THOUSANDS at Mandarake on so many things!

Anyway, if you get shafted in finding things in Canada, you can import them from them at very low risk:

I found SS38 Optimus Prime online at a great price a while ago. I believe I paid $30 and so I bought two. I have to find them online and I do look for deals and sales. I managed to find the reissue of G1 Convoy (Optimus) minus his trailer for $25 and again I bought two at that price. Now I see it selling for over $50 each. BBTS and Walmart online are the best bets for flash sales online.

Anyone who want a "dirty" Netflix Ultra Magnus can get one at Age 3 and Up.
Preoeders at only 55$CAN. It's a pretty damn good price for a leader, especially for an online store.

Very few remain so if you have any interests, hurry up!

After a drought of new toys, Canada is on a roll with new sightings. Thanks to posts from Cybertron.ca we now have sightings for Cyberverse Iaconus and the Earthrise Decepticon Clones 2 pack.

Transformers Ultra Class Cyberverse Iaconus was found at a Walmart in Ontario by KRSkull. He is $44.97.

Transformers Earthrise Cybertronian Villains Wingspan and Pounce 2-Pack was found at an Ontario ToysRus by wervenom. If calling to check if it is in store, use the SKU 477877. They are $34.99.

Well, this is random. At Toys R Us Laval, the RID 1Step boxset is back. 90$ for it though.

Also, to he ER seeker 2 pack is available. Not much else unfortunately.

That is super random

Well, I did NOT expect that.

MPM Starscream at Toys R Us Laval, QUEBEC!!!!

For 230$CAN plus taxes.



Plus, full restock if Siege voyagers at full price.



EDIT:

MPM Starscream is now available online for 230$CAN plus taxes. Of course, Quebec is treated as a second class province. At least as you can see above, it's possible to find it randomly live in store anyway.

Nobody will care but if by any chance someone does, my local Toys R Us at Laval want to get rid of their Siege Apeface (20$) Siege Shockwave (28$) and Siege Micromasters (5$).

I'm not rich enough to squirrel some though.

You really think any of that is worth our time. I saw it too and said nope. But, Cyberverse Ultimate Class Optimus Prime for 10$ at Walmart was definitely worth the bet.

My Walmart is crap in holding any inventory.
Oh, and my local TrU have an army or "fast action battlers" "deluxe" Splitstream at 10$ for some reasons.
Same TrU now have at least 10 of that 100$ RiD 1-steps boxset. Where they are all coming from?

Great news for Canadians like me who just can't ever find those damn Walmart G1 reissues in store.

Blaster is available online and even ship to Quebec! Hear that, Toys R Us?
For the very reasonable price of 40$CAN, meaning the same price as your standard voyager.

Remember the old days of getting that Toysrus Holliday catalogue? Well, while that is over for Americans, it is still a thing in Canada. This year's catalogue has Baby Yoda on the front cover and features lots of discounts on toys, including Transformers. The discounts are on the Cyberverse Battle Call figures (now $25 CAD) and the Earthrise deluxes (now $24 CAD), which are represented by Cliffjumper (a fine pick if you ask me). That makes both assortments around $18 USD.

Canada has caught up on most sightings found in the US, such as the second wave of Earthrise deluxes now at Walmart. And speaking of Walmart, we even have some firsts such as the ultimate sized Cyberverse Battle Call figures, which feature Bumblebee in a Gypsy Danger mask.

Got this flyer in my mail just the other day, I might just actually have to take a look.

For some reasons, my local Walmart will never, ever bother to get new stock.
So I had to import my ER Arcee from BBTS.

Two weeks ago, Toys R Us were almost giving these figures away.
Now FULL RESTOCK of Siege figures at FULL PRICE.

Looks like I'm the only one caring about this thread.

Anyway, that "legend/scout/core" sized "MP-01" Optimus Prime, the 2017 Platinum Year of the Rooster one, is on rollback at 80$CAN.

https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transforme ... 0196611276

Having money to burn, I'd be kinda tempted but even at 80$, it's still too much for this primitive collector item.

Maybe on Black Friday the deal will be sweeten?

We have some more sightings for you. Firstly, MPM Ratchet has been found in Canada at Toysrus, where he is exclusive. He was found at Toysrus stores all over the country including Quebec, which is a province the toy won't ship to if you buy it online (still currently available). The toy is $169.99 CAD.

Another exclusive found recently is Gigawatt from the Transformers Collaborative Back to the Future Mash-Up. It was found at EB Games for $59.99 CAD. That specific sighting was first posted on Cybertron.ca.

To any of our Canadian brethren:

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a Gigawatt today.






I may also be able to get hockey autographs in exchange.

I pre-ordered Gigawatt at EBGames online and it arrived today.

The back to the Future crossover Transformers toy, Gigawatt, was never said to be exclusive to any retailer, but still, many Canadians were surprised to run into him at Toysrus after being offered through EB Games. And not just seeing him, but seeing how much with more than a dozen being shipped to stores, as you can see from the photos below. Great Scott! The price is rather steep though, at $60 CAD, so we'll see how well they sell. The images below come from Dspayre and Gunsligner over at Cybertron.ca.

In other Toysrus news, a new sales starts tomorrow where Siege Micromasters and the "Target Exclusive" RID One Step multi pack are %50 off. While that particular set is from years ago, Toysrus has been getting large quantities of it the past month. Makes you wonder what else is being forgotten in warehouses.

Damn, I may need to make a run for the border...but won't be able to afford it until after black Friday.

You ok paying 60$ for this? Isn't he cheaper in the US?
