But screw you if you're in Quebec.

Hey we're shuttering all our stores for the foreseeable future, but we've got new stock in.lol

You missed the part where the ONLINE store remain open.

Studio Series deluxes are at 20$ at Walmart.

However the voyagers are still 45$ for reasons.

NOTE: These will not ship to the United States!

I can't even put in my address on the account I created to buy Jazz.

Same thing with Quebec.
As if we got our independence without knowing it. :/

Apparently there is a bug with the website or something, I can't add anything into my cart, adding anything just shows the cart as empty and the only price is the shipping on the screen.

Did a little research and apparently other fans on other sites are also having this problem.

Certainly not my browser or account since I used Chrome/Firefox/Microsoft Edge and all the same result.

This sucks

There are a bunch of forwarding services to ship things between canada and the US, you can googke them. Could be worth your time.

Yeah I can't order anything, Transformer or not it just says "0 items" in my cart when I click on add to cart.

Just guess I got to wait or something.

Can anyone else here see if the add to cart button is broken for them as well?

Before anyone asks it does say in stock

This certainly didn't sound like one.

Also, Y U so upset?

You know what there is to be upset over?

Being unable to buy Red Wing due to a site bug and just checking online to see him out of stock.

Yay

Best news is that I still can't add things to my cart.

At this point it almost as if TrU is trolling.

Siege Jetfire and MPM Jazz are out of stock, obviously.
But then Red Guard is entirely REMOVED from the site.
Hmmmmm…

Helloooooooooo?
Any Canadians out there?


.....


Anyway, TrU have MPM Ironhide on sale at only 63$ CAN.
https://www.toysrus.ca/en/Transformers- ... D6A6A.html

However as usual, Quebec get the shaft because we are treated like a filthy foreign country.

At least Amazon have it too for the same price and Quebec is allowed to get it.

To buy or not tu buy?

Well, here's a sighting that's worth mentioning.

Any Canadian who were asleep at the wheel for too long before committing to Siege Omega Supreme, now's your (maybe final) chance. Available online at Walmart.ca for 200$CAN instead of the normal 250$CAN.

https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transforme ... 0200181456

I missed the small TrU preorder window way back then at 160$ and I missed a few 200$ sales. No way am I missing this one, thanks to surprise TPS money from the Federal.

Yeah, I bought it at that 200$ TRU sale last time, didnt want to miss out, its a good toy.

And as for MPM Ironhide... still too much for a toy I know I wont like. I have heard nothing good about that toy.

william-james88 wrote:And as for MPM Ironhide... still too much for a toy I know I wont like. I have heard nothing good about that toy.

After watching video reviews of MPM Ironhide, I was almost forcing myself to like the thing.
Not a good sign.

So unless it go on we-don't-want-to-have-the-damn-thing-in-our-inventory-anymore final clearance sale at 30-ish Canadian dollars, I won't be buying.

As for Omega Supreme at Walmart's it's more like a preorder than anything because I still haven't been charged for my order and it's been days already. "Estimated delivery day, May 02" they say. Let's hope it goes well because I have the impression that it's my final chance to have Omega at a "reasonable" price.

It has been gradual, but Toysrus is now reopening all their stores in Canada. Of course there are changes, such as single direction arrows, plexi glass, purel stations and a moretorium on in store events, but at least Canadians can go back in stores and get toys for their kids or themselves. Their Transformers section is fully stocked and it even includes some new sightings for Canadians. The latest Cyberverse deluxe toys are there, Grimlock and Hot Rod, and they also have the two Gold Rush Botbots sets. All these toys mentioned are $29.99 CAD.

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

cruizerdave wrote: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.
