Holy crap.
The previous one was 60$ and at that price I didn't want it.

That’s $90 Canadian. So that’s about $70 USD.

I'm guessing there's a premium price attached to these crossover toys because Hasbro needs to profit share with the license holders? Haven't seen the size of Ectotron myself, but Gigawatt seemed significantly overpriced ($59.99 CDN) to me for what it was.

I have that Ectotron and it’s Voyager sized.

There's higher and higher.
A deluxe is 30/CAN and a voyager is 40$CAN while a leader is 70$/75$CAN.
Gigawatta is DOUBLE the price.
Ectotron is MORE than double the price.
Only the X-Men guy is relatively reasonable by being 90$CAN instead of the standard 70/75$.

This mean sooner or later it will be on sale and taken down at regular leader price. I'll bid my time until then.

The Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Galactic Odyssey Collection Botropolis Rescue Mission 6-Pack is in stock in Canada at last!
https://www.amazon.ca/-/en/dp/B0863S8V5 ... yp_imgToDp?tag=seibertron0b-20&
At around 77$CAN for the set (free shipping by default at least) it look expensive at first glance. But it's quite a deal in fact. That's two 30$CAN deluxes and two teams of micromasters at 14$CAN at full price. So it's basically a team of micromasters for free, not counting the extra accessories.
At last, I can have that damn thing to go with my Skylinx and Omega Supreme team!
Also, I have to point out that I never ever saw those two ER Micromasters teams in store. Any store.

Voyager Studio Series Bumblebee Starscream was found today at an EB Games in Laval, Quebec.
And the Botropolis set is now available on Amazon.ca

It's been over a month since the pegs at my Walmart are nothing but Cyberverse leftovers. The only new things to ever appear are the Kingdom Core figures and that's it.

Walmart and Toys R Us have mostly been barren wastelands since like November. I managed to luck out a couple times here and there, but for the most part it’s just been wasted trips.

As for new Canadian sightings, the entire first wave of Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys has been found at Toysrus Canada in Laval, Quebec. These include the Cyberverse and Studio Series rereleases along with the brand new core class mold. That one is being sold for $28 CAD.
Thanks to Kanrabat for letting us know of all this.

Look like it.

Still, Age 3 and Up are pretty reliable and unless shipping is free with E.B Games, it's cheaper with A3&U for Quebec just because we don't have to pay the Quebec tax.

You van pici up at eb stores so shipping is free.

For now, the "store pick up" option is grayed out so it's not possible. It may also be something that will never ever be available in any store because it's too big so it may remain online only.
Still, it's cheaper even with shipping from Age 3 and Up. Just because we Québécois skip the Quebec tax:
Age 3 and Up:
Order summary
Transformers Generations Selects - Titan Black Zarak × 1
$229.99
Subtotal
$229.99
Shipping
$13.99
GST
$12.20
Total
$256.18 CAD
EB Games with in-store pick-up (if available):
Montant avant/hors taxes
230
+ TPS (5%)
11.5
+ TVQ (9.975%)
22.94
= Montant avec taxes
264.44
Proof that the Quebec tax is one HELL of a scam. (It actually tax the federal tax!)
Plus if your order from Age 3 and Up go above 250$CAN, shipping is free. Unfortunately, preorders item cannot combine into a larger order. If anyone are willing to risk it, they can wait until it's in stock then buy something that is worth above 20$CAN to save on the 13.99$ of shipping. But I'm not taking any chances just to save a McDonald meal.

Anyway for your entertainment, only RESCUE BOTS are available at Toys R Us online for some reason.

EDIT: The bug seems to be fixed now.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on April 14th, 2021 @ 5:36pm CDT
In stock now for 170$CAN plus taxes and shipping as I'm posting this.

Anyway, those who still don't have a ER Doubledealer can have it for only 46.70$CAN at Amazon! Obviously, for an undetermined limited time.

The second wave of Headmaster figures was found in BC.
The Nextflix wave 3 deluxes have been found across the country (though there is no confirmation for Ontario since the province is currently on essentials only lockdown).
The Netflix wave 3 voyagers have been found in Alberta.
If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

Manitoba, Canada, seems to be the first place where the Walmart exclusive Transformers Best Wars reissues were found but they have popped up in other areas of the country since, like BC and Ontario. Cheetor and Rattrap are both 32.97 which Optimus Primal and Megatron are 69.97 each. The images below all come from the Cybertron.ca board. These may not show up in the US for another month or two as we saw from the initial release of vintage Transformers at Walmart in 2018.
As you can see from the Rattrap image, from TF fan SPLIT LIP, Canadian Walmarts also have the new Rescue Bot Dinobot two packs.
JonoPrime on the Cybertron baords also found leader class Slag in an Onatrio Walmart.
In Ontario, someone found never before seen toys as part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line at Toysrus. Those are Bumblegrim and Primelock. Both have Grimlock as the pants and each set gives you a new deco of the Grimlock mold that came out in the Robots in Disguise crash combiner line. The sighting comes from @CybertronBeast on Twiter.

Yes.
I can't say for the USA, but Walmart charge extra for some, and the price is right for other. It's weird how they function.
(All in Canadian $)
Optimus Prime without trailer was 70$CAN when it came out, as well as Astrotrain, Starscream, and the Soundwave/Buzzsaw two pack. Overpriced for Optimus and Astrotrain, maybe fair for Starscream, and totally fair for Soundwave.
Hotrod and Blaster were 40$, which was fair for Hotrod and pretty cheap for Blaster.
There's no rimes nor reasons to those prices.

The Rescue Bot section of Toysrus got a big restock too, with the new Dinosaur themed sets as well as the new giant Jet Prime now stocked.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on August 12th, 2021 @ 6:23pm CDT
Deluxes are now 34$. Voyagers are 45$. Ans those crappy X-Over X-Panse and Ectotron are now a whopping 95$ because they weren't expensive enough.
https://www.toysrus.ca/fr/Transformers- ... 73B39.html
At least, my local TrU have that "Botcon" Buzzworthy 4 pack in stock. They had 4 of them and at 115$, that pack is now ironically dirt cheap.
My B-Day is soon so I did "the puppy eyes" to my friend and my sis.
Posted by william-james88 on August 17th, 2021 @ 1:59pm CDT
These include:
Marvel Legends Storm for 9.99$ (8 USD)
Earthrise Skylynx for 49.99$ (40 USD)
Cyberverse Seeker 4 pack for 29.99$ (23.75 USD)
Here are some photos from a Montreal location.
