Something funky must have been put in the Canadian water, because ToysRUs has now decided to follow Walmart's price drop for Combiner Wars Legends, Deluxes and Voyagers. In store and online, a deluxe is now priced at $11.99 CDN (9.28 USD) and voyagers are priced at $19.99 CDN (15.47 USD). These are not discounts but price drops and this is for all waves one may find in stores. Several stores have not updated their prices on the shelves, but as the bill below will attest, the price change has been done in their systems. They are not advertized or promoted in the flyer or on the website either. As for online, only Cyclonus and the wave 4 deluxes are available, with Onslaught listed as not in stock (yet).
This means that the two biggest Hasbro retailers in Canada have drastically lowered their prices for these Combiner Wars toys.
Happy Hunting!

You cant, its not in the flyer, you can only raincheck weekly specials. This isnt a discount but a new price.

Is ok, I still have my rainchecks for 22$
But seriously, if they changed all their prices o the computer then he should still be this price when he comes out. He's listed at that price online right now.

Alright thanks for that heads up. Anyways after some digging she's street dated for in store on the 15th, for those like me that didn't know.
Luckily that's a Sunday and I always work those
Sorry I can't post those pics, might be a nono for me
Also came across Onslaught and Scattershot the other week at my store, but there was only one of each, and grabbed Onslaught

Really, compared to these?
Transformers Generations Tankor Gallery
Transformers Generations Nightbeat Gallery
Transformers Generations Scoop Gallery
And these were so freaken tiny, and talk about cheap plastic:
Transformers Fall of Cybertron Shockwave Gallery
I mean look how short they had gotten compared to earlier generations deluxes:
When talking quality and size, CW beats those generations toys out of the water.

While figures have def shrunk, and this gen line def was the weakest. They were still better in terms of qc and i personally like them more in respect to cw. Much better bang for your buck.

DeathReviews wrote:Hopefully US based TRU stores will follow suit. There's a reason why nobody is buying the deluxes at TRU. It's because they're $18 apiece! See my Death Tweet regarding their overstocking on 'Stomp & Chomp' Grimlocks. They never seem to learn. They stock tons of figures that nobody wants and wind up having to unload them at a loss because they charged too much for them initially and turned them all into shelf warmers.

Now THAT is real shelfwarming. None of that modern "They haven't sold any XYZ since I was here yesterday!" kind of crap I see a lot of people complain about.

I dont see it, espcially when I think of the hip missassembly for Skids and the terrible heel problem with Windblade.
But what the heck, agree to disagree.

yeah, I totally get that That Bot. It pisses me off too when I see that written especially when its the latest case assortment But this stomp and chomp clearly did not get ordered by the store last week.
While I am here, to my fellow Canadiens, I found Leader Skywarp at TRU.
Posted by TRozok21 on May 7th, 2016 @ 8:03am CDT
Well darn, I thought someone would have already beaten me to that, since I found Leader Skywarp last week! Upside to working in the loading bay at a toy store, I get to see them all roll out (no pun intended)
Also, after months of searching, I finally found RID Minicon Ratbat x.x

I am sure I am not the first to have seen it in stores, but I thought it was worth a mention since it was the first time I saw him.

Yeah, probably not. Last week was the first time I saw him too. Before that, nothing but Starscreams for months.
Has anyone seen the Sky Reign limbs lately though? I only saw the one shipment a couple of months ago, haven't seen any since at any stores

lol, well we both have any very different experinces with those figures. never had those issue with skids. the heel issue with windblade wasnt as bad on mine, she stands fine. Im hoping titans returns line makes up for any issues i had in the cw line, and issues u had with the gen line lol.
till all are one.

Also anyone in the Ottawa area interested in Onslaught and/or Scattershot, Toys R Us at St. Laurent got some in
Posted by -Kanrabat- on May 12th, 2016 @ 4:40pm CDT
So, I can forget to ever see it at 20$ over here...

Its listed online, it should be available shortly. You can then simply buy that and a leader and a leader for free shipping and then bring the leader back in stores for a refund.
http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp ... abled=true
But there should be on on shelves soon, did you ask if it was available in the back? Because my TRU got a pack of Onslaught and Scattershot.

For Robots in Disguise, the latest Minicon 4 pack has been found, featuring the very first weapon minicon.
Speaking of Robots in Disguise, the series 5 Tiny Titans figures are also on shelves:
More importantly, Canada has Legends Wreck-Gar now and for only $7.99 cdn.
Several Canadians have also finally found Onslaught at Toysrus as well, like Kanrabat, who's haul is below, Downshift and your truly.
The great thing is that all these new Combiner Wars releases are at the new low prices with Onslaught being 19.99 instead of 29.99. The bill below is actually of Onslaught and the four Combaticons which have sporadically been on the shelves among the immense restock of wave 4 2015 Combiner Wars figures.
Here is a look of what the shelves look like right now.

I also saw these guys at all the TrU:
20$CAN each.
Not too shabby, but these new molds with a bajillions accessories don't interest me.

Generations Combiner Wars Legends for $ 5.97 ($4.55 USD)
Generations Combienr Wars Deluxe for $ 8.97 ($6.83 USD)
Generations Combienr Wars Voyager for $ 14.97 ($11.40 USD)
As can be seen in the picture below, Toysrus stores have restocked with the Bruticus wave. That means that today, you can own a complete Hasbro Bruticus for $50 cdn (that means $39 USD) plus taxes.
There is also a 50% sale on Leader Class toys where you can now get Starscream, Skywarp and Ultra Magnus (or whoever else your store has) for $29.97 cdn ($22.80 USD). Aside from the special for the Leader Class toys, a raincheck is available for this 25% off deal.
Here are more pictures regarding these deals:

Shockwave is crazy hard to find too. But the rainchecks really help when they arrive... hopefully.

Having pretty much given up hope that Onslaught was even getting a Canadian release, I figured I had nothing to really lose by picking one up during a trip to Seattle last weekend.
Whoops.
Now what are the chances of Sky Lynx ever receiving a wide release? And what are the chances of me paying too much for one just days before it sees a wide release?
Posted by -Kanrabat- on May 20th, 2016 @ 6:20pm CDT
Leaders: Ultra Magnus and Starscream
Voyagers: Cyclonus and Hotspot
Deluxes: ALL combaticon limbs.
The remaining RID figures are a few $ off as well.

You dont have to bother, just get a raincheck and when he ends up there within the next two months, you<ll be able to get him for 15$. New York doesnt even have this wave yet, just give it some time.
I got a raincheck for the legends class so taht I could get Shockwave for 5$ when he arrives
