How about some love for the US stores, ToysRUs? Eh?

I know right? I'm pretty sure Toysrus Canada is seperate from Toysrus US so it could be that the Canada branch is just nicer to their consumers. Correct me if I'm wrong about the seperation though.

You are right, it is seperate. Same owners though (unlike A&W Canada which is entirely independent ownership wise).

yeah, it's ridiculous how different the stores are.

Lets rap for a minute: what stores do we REALLY have in Canada? From what I can tell, it seems like a dismal 2: Wal-Mart and TRU.

Zeller's, RIP.
Canadian Tire was awesome at Christmas when I was a kid. Now nothing.
Superstore used to be pretty good. All they get now is 1-steps and Minicons.
Sears and The Bay used to have decent toy sections.

Now, we're lucky to see some discount toys at Winners. And then there's these "Mastermind Toys" popping up like weeds, which only sell education 1-5 crap.

So please, tell me I'm missing something

You're not missing anything Shajaki.

The only worthwhile stores to get TFs are Walmart and TrU. And Walmart is barren most of the time. It's been a while since Winners had anything other than pointless Kreos and Hero Mashers. There IS Archambault in Quebec, but their stock is very limited. But because their stock move so slowly, you can get older stuff there that is sold out everywhere sometimes.

Toys at Sears are no more, Zellers and Target are RIP, and Giant Tigers is random like Winners.

TlDr, the only TRUE source is now TrU. As a québécois, I'm glad that ALL the boxes are trilingual. Quebec now get every single Platinums and MPs. It's at least that.

I second what Kanrabat said, my only realy source is TRU. Walmart will get the figures in too, but they wont keep stock for long and its a very small section. Giant Tiger and Winners is a crap shoot (same as the market 6 stores in the US though). Sears is a barren wasteland for toys.

However, we do have amazon canada, which does have exclusives for us sometimes, and ... Indigo

TRU.ca now has the new Power Surge Starscream toy, and on sale too:

Woah, whats the beef?! Walmart just broght back up the price for their G2 sets. Menasor is back at 150 and Superion is at 140.

Inventory must be getting low. Also, TrU have increased their prices too. 115$ is a "special". Maybe I'll miss out on Computron afterall.

Man, it sucks having to wait for wave 2 of Titans Return.Anyways, if canadians havent found the R figures yet, Walmart.ca has most of them listed:

http://www.walmart.ca/search/transformers%20generations

I ddint realize this but Amazon also had the Platinum dinobots, so TRU wasnt an exclusive retailer:

The first waves that come with a "weapon rack".

As for the Minicon "launchers", it's the motorbike one (Fracture) and the tank thing. I skipped on those.

Was there leader thundercracker? If you see him there, please get him for me.

william-james88 wrote:Was there leader thundercracker? If you see him there, please get him for me.

No TC. They only had 2 Starscreams and that's it. I would have preferred TC but seeing Starscream at that price, I had to buy one. Some other guy took the other one.

The latest RID Warriors are now available on toysrus.ca. Its the first online listing for these toys in canada

There are 2 skylynxes left in Montreal, you can find them at Educa Jeux at Place Ville Marie:

Woah, Will, that's pretty random!

Still, 3$ more than normal price is way better than having to import one from the USA.

Werent the CW Voyagers 35$ at Walmart? This looks like a nice middle ground. Glad they brought down the price for Titans Return.

Appart clueless people, who buy voyagers at full price at Walmart?

It has now been one month since the last time Toysrus Canada had a line wide Transformers sale. That means it's time for another. Yes, starting tomorrow, all Toysrus stores in canada, as well as their online store, will have a 25% discount on all Transformers toys of $14.99 and up.



But this excludes Fortress Maximus (no!) and all Playschool products (noooo!).

Wave 2 of Titans Return has been trickling ever so slowly across the nation so it might be time to check out your stores and get rainchecks in case you don't see the toys you want. Also, this deal is still not as great as Walmart's recent price drop on Titans Return deluxes.

UPDATE: Fortress maximus is actually part of the sale as well and he can be purchased online for $172.47.

In case you missed CW Leader Skywarp, there's a tons of him at Laval's TrU. 60$+tx but tomorow's sale may soften the blow a bit.

I wish they would bring back thundercracker. I saw him once but then blinked and he was gone.

Me too.

Come on Wave 2, please come to Quebec!!!!!

Also, Shajaki once asked if we had other stores that frequently stocked toys asides from Walmart and TRU and it looks like Sears is a viable option. They currently have the ocmbiner wars sets like:

menasor: http://www.sears.ca/product/transformer ... 1002-B3775

superion: http://www.sears.ca/product/transformer ... 1002-B3774

victorion: http://www.sears.ca/product/transformer ... 1002-B3901

And even that big RID optimus http://www.sears.ca/product/transformer ... 2-B7066000

I wasnt there, my wife took the picture when looking for baby toys. You can see the list of their products on their site: http://jrctoys.com/jrctoys_new/toywarehouse

Just found wave 2 of the Titan Return deluxe at my local Ajax Ontario Wal-Mart tonight. There is still one full set left on the shelf for now. Wasn't even hunting for them. was looking for some die cast cars and thought I would check over on the action figure side and blam there they were. $19.99 each. Happy thnxgivin hunting

Man I hope to find wave 2 soon in Quebec (montreal, precicely).

Anyways just wanted to report that if anyone ever wanted a First Edition AOE Optimus Prime, Hippo Discounts has him for 50$ shipped: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-toys-games/canad ... elId=19001

Not a bad deal, but not a great toy either.

With Hasbro saying they were completely sold out of Wave 2 Titans Return toys, we were wondering where they all were. Well, Walmart has finally decided to sell them online with all four wave 2 deluxes (Wolfwire, Highbrow, Chromedome and Mindwipe) currently available on walmart.ca. While Toysrus.ca does not have them yet, they have a big 25% off sale on all Transformers in store (including Playskool for once, but not toys already on liquidation). Maybe this will help sell the ton of Combiner Wars boxsets that haven't moved yet.

Fingers crossed this sells the CW Leader Skywarps and Starscreams my TRU still has, and make room for Titans stuff

Ok fellow Canadian fans don't go crazy on these guys I have to get one of each too.



(Of course thell be all gone by the time I actually get to one of these stores.)

TRozok21 wrote:Fingers crossed this sells the CW Leader Skywarps and Starscreams my TRU still has, and make room for Titans stuff

I saw one Starscream at Winners for $20.00 but as a fool I did not get him and he was gone a week later I did pick up a Combiner Wars Blast Off though so that's good.


I also See Starscream and Skywarp at my Toys R Us here in Lethbridge for $40.00 though.

If my store in America was anything like this one I don't think I'd have any spare change

The bay has transformers in time for christmas, all of TR wave 1:

And Sears has the boxsets and the new RID Prime toy

Rainchecks on Transformers items will now be a thing of the past at Toysrus all through Canada. This was learnt first hand as I walked into Toysrus today, seeking a raincheck for the deal they had on Titans Return leader toys (at $35 CAD), and was told that corporate has decided that rainchecks will no longer be given for Transformers items. There has allegedly been some foul play involving rainchecks and it got bad enough that Toysrus Canada has decided to stop this practice entirely. This was discovered in Quebec so let us know if you hear the same at your local Canadian Toysrus.

UPDATE

It seems it is only select Toysrus stores in the Quebec area. There is no widespread change in the policy, as confirmed by Ontario managers. This seems more like a case of managers passing their own rules as corporate mandate when it isn't the case.

i bet your heartbroken will

Call be naive, but what exactly is a raincheck?

Kurona wrote:Call be naive, but what exactly is a raincheck?

naive UK'er

google def.
a coupon issued to a customer by a store, guaranteeing that a sale item that is out of stock may be purchased by that customer at a later date at the same reduced price.

so basically if the item you want isnt there,they would give you a raincheck with the sale price on it. so when you come back and find the item you want you can get it for the sale price since the sale most likely wouldve expired by then.

Kurona wrote:Call be naive, but what exactly is a raincheck?

I raincheck is typically a small paper form that a retailer will fill out when they have a sale on an item, but are out of stock for that item. It basically extends the sale price to some future date (30 days, 90 days, etc.) so that when the item is in stock again, you can get it at the sale price even if the sale is over.

Not surprised since there are always bad eggs out there who feel they need to abuse the system just to get ahead.

Bumblebee21 wrote:i bet your heartbroken will

I am, big time. It will have to go back to the old system now of seeing the toy in the store and waiting for the deal rather than getting it right away with my raincheck.

The thing Kurona (and this may be why they did this) is that all Transformers of a certain class in a line have the same number. So even if Wolfwire and Breakaway are different toys, TRU will see them as the same item. So I would ask for a raincheck for the item number and get a coupon that said I had 90 days to get a deluxe for, say, $10. And then I would be able to get the new deluxe right away for $10 when I found him in a store (even though he technically had not come out yet when the sale was on). So that was fun. but now its over. it will be like the states and the UK now where I have to wait for a sale to get the item I want and I will be restricted to what their selection.
