Thanks to my good friend g1trasformer for letting us know that Voyager Class Optimus Prime has been found in Canada! Here's what he had to report:
First went to TRU and got $40 back from the price difference on the Voyager sale since I paid $29.99 and they are down to $22.97. Got Ironhide and Barricade with the savings. Well pleased with them.
Then swung by Walmart and picked up both Voyager Optimus Prime and Voyager Megatron! Then swung by Zellers and picked up the new Concept Camaro Bumblebee, Arcee and Dreadwing.
There is no pic at this time, but I can vouch for his honesty.
This is great news for Transformers fans in the Great White North. Have you seen this figure yet? If so why not share your findings with the rest of the world in our Sightings Section
EDIT: g1transformer was kind enough to e-mail me a pic of the two voyagers he had found today for proof to those who need it.

I agree, that is the right amount of O's in the word awsome to best discribe BB2. By the by, front paged and all that whoo-haa.
Of course you know, this is goign to drive me mental.

Thanks D_S as always. I know what you mean about going mental. I hate being a completist sometimes.
All the other figures I noted are just as good with the exception of Dreadwing. Based on the robot mode pics shown on the card I believe he is top heavy and his waist joints will be loose and also won't be strong enough to keep him from toppling over. Only thing I don't like about the CDN deluxe figures is as usual the tri-lingual packaging which means that we get no tech specs on the back of the card.
I also forgot to mention an error on all the latest wave of CDN deluxe figures. 'Bonecrusher' on the back is called 'Bonescrusher'. Not a big deal but there it is.

Did you also notice that all all of the wave 2 figures are in Decepticon Packaging? Friggin Canada.

QFT! Mine has been dying for quite some time. I think that as of today it is in a spastic seizure of some sort.

Wait, have you found Legends Blackout but not Legends Starscream?

That is correct. OP, Blackout and Megs were all found quite easily. Megs was the most easy to find, then Blackout and finally OP all for obvious reasons. SS was nowhere to be found. Short-packed maybe or someone with an unhealthy fixation that needs some psychotherapy or just not in the case assortment (heaven forbid)?

I haven't seen any 74 BB either since the movie came out! I was just at Coquitlam TRU and they were full of Scorpy, Wreckage and Jazz! No leader figures or Voyagers! They had the Scorpy/Blackout Desert Pack though!

Cool. Just doin' my job, tho'. Still, pretty cool.
BTW, anybody got the chance to spot the Blackout/Scorponok two-pack? It's out in the States and I think I remember someone saying in was out in BC, but nothing else.

I didn't take note of which one where, but I recall seeing it in Ontario.

Dude, if you're looking for some Voyagers, you really should go get them while the sale's still on. Besides, you can pick them up while you're out to get supplies for your shed, no?

That is where I found them on the weekend. They had just as many Voyager OP as well. Were they all sold out as they came in the same case assortment with Megs?

Ture, I do what to start getting the supplies for my display cases.

I know! I saw them all today and then gave a lady and her son a crash course in how awsome the new movie was and helped them pick out what Transformers her sona daughter would like. Still, I didn't want to pay full price, so I'm going back tomorrow with a TRU flyer in hand to do a price match. Now I just have to scrape together $57 dollors...

As far as I know, the only place he's shown up so far was Oakridge Zellers a few weeks ago. Dunno if he's still in stock, though. I don't think TRU has had him in stock anywhere yet. Oh, Soul of Anime in Richmond Center had a few in stock a few weeks ago as well.
Posted by ShiningKnightSilverbolt on July 18th, 2007 @ 12:38am CDT
Then I went to Orillia's Zellers (I know they don't get much) & saw 2 Voyager Movie Megatrons, 1 Movie Ratchet, & 1 Movie Ironhide, which I had bought (all because my mother won 50 bucks from a lottery ticket). I also saw in Zellers only 1 War Within Titanium Starscream (which strangely, was there when I went to Zellers on 7.3.7). (Tusko beat me to the Zellers sightings, forgot to mention)
I guess that does it for me in sightings.
Posted by HybridHero on July 18th, 2007 @ 9:59pm CDT
Today, I went to Walmart again and found (and purchased) 6" Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus and WWI Megatron!!! I don't think anyone has spotted these in Canada yet (correct me if I'm wrong though).

If you report some news item, something we haven't seen before or something the fans would like to know about - you can get your info on the front page news section, and we credit you for the story.
It's good karma!

Not any more there isn't! Thanks for the tip!
And Legends action figures has absolutely zip of interest as of right now, unless you want to pay the ridiculous sum of $75.00 for some of the TRU G1 reissues. They really got cleaned out.
This is also the case with the Toys R Us in LaSalle. Unless you want Deluxe Skorponok, Jazz, or Wreckage, there is nothing there at the moment. Seriously, there aren't even any voyagers left!
