Canada has been lagging behind releases as of late in their big box stores. While it is still not caught up, Walmart has had a reset which finally brought new figures to give some variety to shelves which saw no change for a year. That includes:
- The exclusive G1 retro Hot Rod and Starscream
- Studio Series Core Rumble, Laserbeak and Wheelie
- Studio Series Voyager Ironhide and Galvatron wave
- Studio Series Deluxe ROTB Airazor and Bumblebee
- Legacy Voyagers Inferno and Armada Starscream
Also, the same collectible store which got Metalhawk early also got Generation select Guardian Robot in stock now, which can be picked up locally or be shipped.
While that option is $299.99 CAD, there is a cheaper option at TFtoys.ca but that toy won't ship until May.
Also, Toysrus has a sale on two of their exclusives, Red Cog and Silverstreak
Red Cog: https://www.toysrus.ca/fr/Transformers- ... 658A5.html
Blue Silverstreak: https://www.toysrus.ca/fr/Transformers- ... 22A11.html
Also, the Leo Prime seen in the image below is a return.

But there's that Cyberverse deluxe Arcee for only 9$ if anyone is in the area and still haven't gotten her.
Also, Toys R Us Laval have 2 remaining Origin Bees at 18.50$.

Any chance they'll price match their own site, even though they stopped doing price matches?

I think they only price match if the article is in stock on the website.
Speaking of in stock, Tarn is back in stock on Amazon.ca

I saw Tarn at my local Geek store and I passed. Then I learned he's short packed.
The FOMO was too strong when i saw it back at Amazon.

Not only they have none in stock, NONE ARE EVEN ORDERED YET.
I don't know if that's the case for the whole province of Quebec. There's no trace of then online either.
TrU suck. Seriously.

So now it's your chance for some crazy savings, like for my second Biker Baroness and "Sphinx" Dinobot.

It ain't much, but that was enough for me to finally pull the trigger on SS ROTB Battletrap.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on May 30th, 2023 @ 5:34pm CDT
The price is REALLY good for Ratbat and Megs at 77$:
https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/F6964/dp/B0B ... 82&sr=1-32?tag=seibertron0b-20&
And for some reasons, the Shockwave and Orion Pax set is the same price, at 77$, Making it more normal.
https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/F7015/dp/B0B ... C83&sr=1-2?tag=seibertron0b-20&
Oh, I must add that the 2 pack with Orion Pax and Alpha Trion was 100$. That's 23$ just for the X-Mass decoration that came as an "extra".
So, the price of these two new sets is once more, really , REALLY good.

Walmart has also got some nice deals on Transformers toys. The retro G1 releases are only $29 CAD (which is slightly above $20 USD), making Hound and Thundercracker 40% off. The ROTB Beast Weaponizer two packs (which I highly recommend to any parent who wants to get their 5-7 year olds into Transformers) are only $15 CAD ($11 USD). That is great value when you consider that it makes them the same price as the inarticulated Battle Changers.

So far in Michigan, the only G1 repaint I've seen in any Walmart is Starscream, which I've sort of already had for almost 2 decades now via Takara's book-reissue, but the others are all on my kinda'-want list. I'd better start checking more frequently in case they get clearanced as soon as Hot Rod appears.

Same. I was kinda hoping to see Hot Rod in person, see if he would tempt me

And at almost full price instead of on clearance.
Also, it's bizarre that after weeks and weeks, that set is still plenty available online and in store at that price at TrU.
https://www.toysrus.ca/fr/Transformers- ... 8E9FC.html
As if, no one care, or for those who cared enough to get at full price before, none want a spare.
If for some reason the price get even lower, like at 50$, I'll get a spare. But not before.

I also found Kingdom Roadrage at Amazon.ca for 30$CAN. No taxes, free shipping. Nice!

- At Toysrus we have a sighting of the Buzzworthy Ironhide and Prowl two pack in most provinces.
- At Walmart we have sigthings in the Ontario eregion for the Walmart exclusive G2 deluxes 2 Deluxes including Mirage, Jazz, Laser Cycle and Dead End. These are all part of the same wave.
- At Gamestop, fellow Seibertronian -Kanrabat- found the Legacy Evolution Medix, these are hitting several provinces simultaneously.

So that was pretty damn lucky of me to have stumbled onto that lone Medix at my local GameStop then.

But here's the Decepticons one! At 195$, it seems expensive at first glance, but considering the base price of each figures, meaning a leader, two voyagers, and one deluxe (around 204$) 195$ ain't so bad. Especially compared to eBay.

At 80$CAN, the price is very reasonable for 3 deluxes. Hurry up and get yours before the bots take everything!

A lot of new Transformers toys have now been found in Toysrus and they are:
- Buzzworthy Prowl and Ironhide (dead Autobots) two pack
- Buzzworthy RID Towline
- Buzzworthy SS Grimlock reissue
- The ROTB mainline deluxes 3 pack of Cheetor, Nightbird, and Wheeljack
- Smash and Change Scourge
- Titan class Nemesis
- Leader class Snarl from the Studio Series line (not a new sighting, but a worthy mention since people are still looking for that toy)

It's been years since they sent any coupons so I threw my R cards to the trash and removed myself from their mailing list months ago.
Oh well.
Mine is already bought and paid for at full price. Still worth it tho.

It feels like "HEY THE TRANSFORMERS SHELVES ARE FULLY STOCKED... With Marvels "shampoo bottle" stuff."
It's the case of my local Toys R Us and Walmart.

Most of the stuff on the shelves in Canada is also kid stuff or really old product. Check the image below, what do you see in the pics that you don't see on your shelves and would like to see?
Posted by -Kanrabat- on September 15th, 2023 @ 3:44pm CDT
They got the BWBB ROTB Scorponok packs as well.
At GameStop, they just got the Legacy Evolution Armada Universe Hot Shot and Jolt pack!

Never buy anything from NMC Toys.
That Toronto based store may have been legit once, but the COVID thing transformed that store into a scam. He will take your money, never send anything, then ghost you.
Se some reviews at
https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/nmctoys.ca
And
https://www.yelp.ca/biz/nmc-toys-toronto
And
https://www.reddit.com/r/ActionFigures/ ... as_anyone/
So, avoid and report.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on October 20th, 2023 @ 1:17pm CDT
First, they have the BWBB SS AoE Grimlock and the SS ROTB Optimus Prime in stock.
They also have the latest JP set and the Top Gun Maverick. Both at full price.
They still have the same things on clearance, but this time, the Earthsparks are at 50%off.
They also have these metal figures.
Finally, the "buy two things on clearance and get the cheapest at 50% off" sale is on. Again.

Below is how various Toysrus stores look like at the moment. You'll notice that they did get the wave 4 Legacy deluxes, but in a small amount, compared to the rest. They are also up to date on the Cyberverse line, with the latest Arcee/Hashtag finger puppets and the warrior Megatron wave.
In other sightings news, the final wave of 2023's Studio Series line is being found in Canada. Leader Primal and the deluxe wave with Mirage and Nightbird has been found at Gamestop.

That's not the "ROTB Mainline" Cheetor in that pack with the optimus. That's the CYBERVERSE deluxes 3 pack. A 3 pack that is still way too expensive even on clearance.

Below you'll find examples of this sale on three items:
Leader SS Primal is now 46.17 ($34 USD)

This result in when a big sale like this happen, I already have everything and I end up buying nothing.
I do that too, but for Optimus Primal, my Amazon order had not shipped yet, so I bought it from TRU and cancelled the amazon order
