I won't pay 50$ for this, but normal voyager price is a go.

EB Games distribution is weird AF. You won't find the same assortment of collectables from store to store.
Although I learnt of a neat trick today. They can ship from one store to the other. So, for another time, if they don't have a toy you want, ask them to check which store has and ask them to ship it to your store. That's what I am doing for God Skelletor (an other decently priced Mattel MOTU toy).

But here in The Northern US., Good Transformers are A dime A Dozen. Your luck if 1 store out 6, gets A case of Voyagers or anything outside of Bayverse studio deluxe's. Or Walmart "exclusive" War For Cybertron horrid redeco deluxes. And than the 1 store that gets A good case of EARTHRISE OPTIMUS' or Voyager Cyclonus' & Hot Rod's you gotta be lucky enough to walk into it. Cause that juicy case is gone within 48 Hours Tops!

william-james88 wrote:While the Transformers Generations Selects line is not exclusive for the most part, it is still tricky to find. Toysrus usually does stock them but it is not consistent and there is a bug in their system where if an order is not filled after a certain amount of time, the order will be cancelled automatically. This lead to cancellations of all preorders for G2 Ramjet in Canada from Toysrus and the store is currently doing a workaround where they will call people who preordered when the product comes in. But it's a wonky work around and not everyone has their Ramjets. BUT EB Games, which also had preorders, seems to have quite a few Ramjets to spare and the toy can currently be found in their stores ready for purchase by anyone. The price is $45 CAD but $40 with a platinum Edge card (so $32 USD). The one pictured below was found in the Montreal area and there were 8 available copies in store.
That's actually funny, the same day it was found in the store, I just received mine in the mail after waiting for two months of delays on top of the preorder. Nice figure.

Ship in 5 months. What it actually mean is anyone's guess, but it's still better than importing it from BBTS or buying from Ebay.

There was also the big one-step Buzz Bee in all of its AoE mold and safety orange glory. A lone Kingdom Commander Rodimus Prime was there as well.
Not sure if it's newsworthy thought.

They also had a nice refill of the BWBB World Collide 4 pack.
Still no sign of Origin Bee.

There have been other toys found at EB Games recently like Kingdom Rhinox and Studio Series Sweep. Photo evidence below. The Rhinox was was also found at Walmart.

When's Ravage hitting the UK? And what of the Worlds Collide 4-Pack? Some releases feel like they were made to benefit scalpers.

A big surprise has been finding the Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Ratchet set at Winners, which is what TJMaxx is called in Canada. This set is only $30. It has been found in a few provinces so far, like Quebec and Ontario.

On my end, it's always Rescue Bots "shampoo bottles" available and nothing else.

I chucked in the package dimensions and weight from the Amazon listing because I thought that would be fitting. Destination Australia, sending from a random Quebec postcode I plucked off Google (rounded UP to the nearest decimal by the way, so instead of 31.39 x 22.81 x 8.41 cm it's 32 x 23 x 9 and 1.1kg instead of 1.03) - it said about 30 CAD for Small Packet ($31.17 specifically).

Then for DOUBLE the previous price, you get tracking and insurance, but it's still snail mail.
Double again, and it's finally air mail.
Now add the covid restrictions on top and the fact that the GESTAPO may prevent your package for ever reaching your local post office and it's a recipe for disaster.
Individuals get really screwed over with postage fees compared to stores.

It was great to see a big Transformers section still around on a non Movie year. By comparison the Star Wars toy section was really reduced with there being no movies this year. Marvel, however had an even bigger section than Transformers, due to there being 4 films and 3 series out this year (one film being Spider-man with loads of toys). There was also loads of He-Man, Ghostbusters and Power Rangers, a real smorgasbord for anyone who grew up in the 80s or 90s. Overall, as you can see below, the store was overloaded with toys. Enjoy.

To be fair, at its peak there were probably 10 times as many TRU stores in the U.S. as Canada to meet the demand at the time. Unfortunately nothing good lasts forever.

I live in the biggest suburb (Markham) of the biggest city (Toronto) in Canada. And the Walmarts & TRU around my area is not that much different from this photo for TFs. The WM & TRU in the biggest Mall in the area both dedicate about 1 pane (3-4 feet?) wide for TF only. They scaled back the TF section since around AoE and has been ever sadder since. I given up toy hunting in brick & mortar stores about 4 years ago. It's much more assured to get what I want online.
TRU Canada's website absolutely sucks at listing new items. Walmart.ca's prices are mostly ridiculous and scalpers' paradise. I'm now mostly forced to order sing Amazon.ca & GameStop if I want to get anything that's new.

For years before that announcement, I was seeing shelves that were nearly empty, and the products that they did have, were usually piled on shelves with little to no organisation. The U.S. stores were poorly run, and the employees' wages were laughableo.supreme wrote:I don't recall TRU having inventory issues until it was made public that stores were closing

I agree with you about online shopping, but I like the brick & mortar stores, due to the hunt and reward of finding new characters in the store.. buying them online is generally more reliable, but not as rewardingcloudballoon wrote:I given up toy hunting in brick & mortar stores about 4 years ago.

I agree so much here.
You can compare this like going into a forest to hunt down a dangerous boar. Then you finally track down the beast and as it charge you, you shoot your arrow through it's eye for an amazing kill. Then you carve the boar in several parts, not wasting anything. You age the meat. You prep it. You skillfully cook it. Then that meal is the best ever...
...Versus ordering takeout.
That was the feeling I got when I found a Beast Wars Megatron reissue at a Walmart two towns over on a toy hunting quest with my friend.

Bleak5170 wrote:I don't really collect the toys, (buy the odd figure here and there), but is that Ractonite the biggest peg-warmer TF of all time? I literally see ridiculous amounts of him in every store I go to.
Yeah I talked about it before and was surprised that in a wave which had a rerelease of Arcee that Ractonite would be just as big a shelfwarmer if not more.
Something was off with the Kingdom deluxes in my area. The ONLY wave ever found in stores for 3/4 of the year was wave 2, that famous ractonite one. I never got wave 1 in stores (had to buy online) and wave 2 just kept coming and coming. Wave 3 was found only at EB Games in my area (but I bought online) and wave 4 was found at Walmart. But Toysrus (as pictured above) only ever got wave 2 deluxe for Kingdom.
o.supreme wrote:Definitely feel privileged. While it is nice that my local Walmarts are starting to get some toys finally, The pics of that one TRU easily equate to more than any 10 Walmarts or Targets in my area. Also, I know we've discussed quality vs quantity before, but that seems to be a good mix of product from all lines. I'd be blown away to see anything close to that in my area ever again.
I am glad it's working out at your Walmarts. friends in the community have been posting nice pics online of their local targets and walmarts since they are surprised to see some good stocking, which was rare even before the panedmic. As for the product mix, it's ok but old. No new Cyberverse deluxes or warriors, No SS voyagers, no Kingdom deluxes past wave 2. The new and bountiful stuff is mainly exclusives, which makes sense since they get all that product for themselves. But we do see all the lines so that's good.
Question for you O.Supreme, if you had to advise a someone looking to buy a present for an 8 year old and had a limited budget (say between 20-30$ USD) and had all the toys shown in my pics to choose from. What would you say? Because I found it quite tricky. My ideal answer would have been Cyberverse Deluxe Soundwave since he's a main character of the current show, has a good transformation which is not too simple but not hard and is basically 2 bots in one due to laserbeak. But sadly, he was not there. Anyways, I was asked, I gave my advice, not sure it was good, and I wanted to know what you would have said.

You should go to Brampton. They have a lovely toysrus there with a nice solid Transformers section. I like going there since there's also a value village near by that always seems to have fun stuff. Found a Cybertron Scourge last time.
Also, don't know what you mean about Walmart prices. If it's a thrd party, then sure it's the same as Amazon's third party BS. But you can just filter it out and get the good stuff at the right prices. Walmart.ca is where I bought all the Kingdom deluxes I never found in stores.

Thanks for the Brampton idea. I get the thrill of toy hunting too. It used to be fun until it's not when 9 times out of 10 I come back empty-handed, but I still tried for the mass retails ones. Until Covid lockdowns, it just wasn't possible, with gas and time ever so precious, I'm still in my "screw it, not toy hunting to catch Covid" mode, LOL.
Walmart.ca prices seems to me only the ones that's available in store is selling at MSRP, then 2/3 of the listings are 3rd party vendors prices. My computer is behind a VPN & firewall, and Walmart.ca doesn't list the prices when those security are on. I have to disable both to see the site normally. Gamestop sometimes don't even load too with the security on. I hate that...
