Finally... Finally it seems my store finally got CW Motormaster in. Only one case, and only one in the case. My girlfriend is happy, now to hunt for Blackjack to complete the look...

6 Masterpiece Bluestreak at the Appleby TRU in Burlington for the insane price of $89.98 + tax.

He might be one of my favorites, but I'm not paying that price for something I originally paid $42 Canadian for.

The AOE toys at winners was put in the aoe thread to not clutter this onw up. In hosrt:

A routine visit yielded some very interesting and odd sightings such as leftover Age of Extinction toys. The most notable is a Leader Optimus Prime at only 19.99$ cdn (16.12$ US). The walmart exclusive one step Stinger was also found which is as random as you can get, especially since this was never found in stores in Quebec, Canada (where these sightings are from), and had to be ordered online. The inclusion of Stinger leads to the conclusion that this is probably overstock from Walmart.

Let me know if any of you find other stuff at your local Winners..s

Age of Extinction Toys massively discounted at Winners (TJ Maxx in Canada)

Thread title is incorrect. Winners in Canada is still called Winners. There's one across the street where I live!

Winners is TJ Maxx in the USA, not Canada.

It depends how you read the title. In Canada, we dont have TJ Maxx, we have Winners. So the store Winners is what the TJ Maxx store is called in Canada. It was made so that american readers who are not accustomed to the name Winners know what is being referenced.

Wave 3 Deluxe on Walmart shelves in Montreal

Big batch of Bluestreaks on the shelf at Toys R Us in Barrie, Ontario.



Hasbro distribution of toys has me all like . I also saw CW Leader Thundercracker, but the rest of the shelves are warmed by old AoE stuff, a handful of RiD deluxes and CW Wave 1 Deluxes and Legends. Heck, we haven't even seen CW Blackjack at our TRU or EITHER of our two Walmarts.

Just wanna finish my Menasor, and I ain't paying for shipping on a $12 figure.

My Wal-Marts are regularly stocking CW Wave 2 Deluxes, Voyagers, and Legends (though BlackJack is tough to find) while I have yet to see a Leader on their shelves since Jetfire.

Meanwhile my TRU's can't get past Wave 1 Deluxe/Voyager/Legends..... buuut has all the Leaders (TC started showing last week). Edmonton is messed

Found Hotspot & Cyclonus warming a shelf at the Burnhamthorpe Walmart in Mississauga if anyone is still looking.

I wouldnt call it warming just yet, they just got there.

I didn't say they were shelf warmers, just said they were warming a shelf.

As in warming the bench.

Still, an odd phrase to use in this context seeing as how changing the syntax means something totally different in this fandom.

Sorry for annoying you Downshift.

Maybe you could help me with this. I found these constuct bots at winners today and I have never seen them before. Are they new or super old. And if they are old, from when are they?

Wave 3 CW Deluxes just hit the shelf at Barrie, Ontario south end Walmart.



Still ZERO sign of Wave 2 or 3 CW voyagers, Wave 2 or 3 CW legends, and NOT ONE leader figure ever at this store.

Dang, distribution sure is sporadic.

I'm so jelly.

Wave 2 just showed up in my area (rejoice!), and I've seen wave 3 Legends class figures... crossing my fingers the Protectobots show up in the next month.

Megatronus, are you gonna double dip and get the takara one too? I only want to get either one but the current price of the takara one (the one I would rather have) is just too much for me due to its extra exclusivity factor. SO I might settle for Hasbro's.

I'm actually breaking the bank. Because I'm a moron, and I think I can compensate for my grand plan with some eBay sales.

I'm getting 2 sets of the Hasbro versions to open - one to display in combined mode, another to display in robot mode teams - and then the Takara versions for MISB (except I'm getting 2 Defensors so I can enjoy deluxe Groove). I'm a sucker for box sets, and Takara more often than not really nails the packaging.

Sigh.

Well to be fair, Takara's packaging for Superion is amazing and the window packaging with flap makes it one of the better items to display in MISB

I 100% agree - Superion's packaging looks amazing, and the window is a huge plus. I just need to work out how to fund some of this stuff.

I'm excited for it all, though.

Full set of CW Wave 3 Voyager, Deluxe, & Legends at Oakville Walmart

One set of Wave 3 RID Deluxe at the Burnhamthorpe Walmart in Mississauga.

Thanks Downshift, I found some too in the quebec area, I will post some pics when I get home later.

For now, here is a slight discount (not enough to consider this a great deal) on some TRU exclusives. What is interesting is that this is not widespread, it just affects the insecticons and YOTG optimus:

It is widespread. I saw them lowered at one of my TRU's yesterday but totally forgot to post it.

Hmm, clearance priced on the website already? I wonder if that means the stores will be doing that eventually? Still to rich for my blood though. As much as I want YOTG G2 Optimus, $167 after my TRU discount is still a bit too much for me, if it ever gets clearance marked in store (no discount on online orders), and I already have the Insecticon reissues from years ago, but I'll let my collector coworkers know about this if they don't already

and still waiting for Blackjack to show up somewhere in Ottawa to complete Menasor *shakes angry fist at Windcharger peg warmers*
