sorry to butt in on your thread guys...but just gotta note that its very odd you havent gotten override yet...we have TONS of them in Vancouver

It's okay.  Override is almost as difficult to find here in Ontario as Energon Arcee was and I found her at Zeller's this past weekend.  cliffjumper.gif

Arcee is easy to find. There're plenty left in most stores, even in The Bay or Sears.

e.g, Centerpoint The Bay, Thornhill(Hilda/Steeles) Toys'rus.

I saw Override @ Centerpoint Zellers a week ago too.

Cheap Alternators at Walmart have hit the Maritimes again. Some people were lucky enough to get Tracks but we only got Meister, Grimlock, and Swindle.

I collect BT but it's like a 3 for 1 sale I couldn't resist. $9.92 CAD.
evrdazed
haven't seen any alternators worth mentioning in the walmarts here in ontario. 

However, just visit silversnail in toronto and they have these:

Alt Prowl (picked one up)
Alt Decepticharge
Alt Grimlock
Alt Swindle
Alt Kitty
Alt Wheeljack
All were 41.99 CAD except for Swindle, he's cheap and dispossable
BTA 1 and 2.  79.99 Each
Most if not all of the BTs.  around 79.99 each, except swindle one again.
GF Soundwave (looks good, but pricy for me-can't remember the price)

I made a phone call to Missisauga Square One Walmart today.

They said all the alternators were sold out already within a short period.

So sad.

For those Metro-tor or other fans, you guys can save your gas and forget about the hunt for cheap alts in Missisauga.

But if you guys need any alt desperately, you should be either waiting for other Walmarts or hunting them @ silversnail.

So I see this thread and rushed over to Walmart for cheap Alternators, yup, they're cheap, and they go fast. 

I haven't seen Alternators for about a year now at Walmart and I missed them at 10 bucks a pop.  That's cheaper than what I would pay for the KO BTs (and I haven't seen any of those around either!)  huffermad.gif

No way Cliff, that's got to be a mistake.  5 bucks for Alts?!?  That's a steal.  Anyone seen Meister in Ontario lately?  Or how about Wing Sabre (yeah, he's an oldie) but I missed him the first time.
DigibasherX
Cliff - I just called them, they're on for 10 bucks ea.  Same as every Walmart.  Looks like every Walmart's getting boxes and boxes of them.

I Also Talked To A Lady And She Told Me That There Is A Skid Of Them And There $4.92, For Clearance Reasons. Also I Doubt That There Are Any Good Alternators, But I'm Still Goin For A Look. biggrintf.gif

1) looks like it is official....hasbro distribution in Canada:

Western Provinces (Quebec?): Newer Alternators - Tracks, Jazz, Swindle, Grimlock,Wheel jack, Windcharger (shockwave?)
Southern Ontario - Older Alternators - Hound, Silverstreak & Deadend. (no smokescreen)  thumbsdown.gif

a little bit unfair...don't you think?  slytf.gif  (well not if you are in Western Canada...i guess... wave.gif )


until the next distribution wave (2 -3 years down the road probably... ...seem like it anyways)..will we get new alternators?

I am going to write my member of Parliment about this!!! just kidding...

2) Markville TRU:

2 mudflaps left...bunch of crumplezones, couple of scouges & jetfires & Vector prime.

have a good one.  thumbsup1.gif

Quebec is east of Ontario and definitely Quebec will be considered as eastern part. So don't say that again in future or ppl will laugh at you for sure.

Where's your source of info? if you get a reply from Hasbro, would u mind to copy and paste the email to this thread?

I doubt if this is so. usually, Missisauga square one walmart orders the most stocks in GTA. I hope they'll re-order some more in Oct.

So, to save our time and gas money, we'd better call the walmart branch to confirm the info before driving there.

thanks for your info  thumbsup1.gif

By the way, when anyone calls walmart to check the alternator inventory,
it is wiser to ask them whether those on shelves are red boxes or dark blue boxes.
This helps us make a decision to drive there or not.

If you ask them to quote the name of the alternators, some(or perhaps most) may not be too willing to do so. But I guess at least they can distinguish the color of the boxes.

'coz many ppl might already have streak, hound and dead end.

I guess most ppl here only want to buy grimlock, meister, ravage, swindle ,etc only.

Also, plz report to this thread if anyone gets any alternators update, thanks.
****************************************************************
In addition, I went to Hilda/Steeles West TRU last night.
didn't find out any surprising items at transformers line, but I was glad to find they're selling single pack GI Joe.
There were lots of Dusty, Sgt Stalker, some snake eyes, storm shadow, kamakura, baroness and Ace.
I bought one Kamakura single pack.

A guy forgets an "&" symbol and look what happens  optimuslaugh2.gif
thanks for the warning but i am quite aware Quebec is not in the West......
what am i american or something?  grimlocklaugh.gif  (not knowing Canadian geography...or anything at all  usa.gif DISCLAIMER: i am just stereotyping for joke purposes...calm down kids  slytf.gif )

And about the source of infomation: (i am just the messenger)
i did not get it from any official hasbo source but.....there is nothing better than first hand accounts...i have seen posts from Kitchner, Waterloo, Hamilton(suburbs), Toronto (and suburbs (i have seen personally)), Barrie, Niagara Falls, & Windsor..all claiming to have only those three alts.

however, Ottawa has DeadEnd, Jazz, Tracks, Grimlock & Swindle

so it looks like those parts of southern Ontario got the old stuff....(hopefully Missisauga will be our saviour)  thumbsup1.gif

and hopefully we will be getting in more alts..but as of what we see now that is how it stands unfortunately...(in those listed area's atleast)  thumbsdown.gif
I hope things change....maybe i should go and beat hasbro with a stick..for them to have better distribution.

i hope that clears up any ambiguity in my email....sorry about any confusion
i am hoping for the best for us Southern Ontarioians...need the newer alts.

All Toronto TF fans including me owe you a big thank you thumbsup1.gif
At first, I'd be interested in getting an Energon Scorponok, but seeing that there is Cybertron Dark Scorponok available, I prefer to skip this one.

Wal Mart has forgotten how much Toronto ppl spend on them in all these years, why should they do that to us? How come they can't put Wave 2 Alternators on shelves for sale?  huffermad.gif
It's sad to hear other province enjoying the purchase of new alternators. rumblecry.gif

Remind you guys, Toys'RUS is doing another sale on Energon Leader class figures such as Energon Optimus Prime, Energon MEgatron and Energon Galvatron before this Friday.
they are now sold for $49.99+tax each. Such price is almost 20 bucks cheaper than original prices.

In addition, I went to Hilda/Steeles West TRU, and found that they had some 4 inch tall Marvel Legend Heroes figures for sale.
These figures are quite similar to the size of Gijoe or microman figure, and each is sold for $9.99+tax.

They also had Marvel Mega Morphs series 1, but I forgot how much they're selling.
I remembered I saw transformable Wolverine and Spiderman robots there.

they only had a few Alternator Hounds, 1 Cybertron Starscream and a few cybertron wave 1 items last night.

I saw Scourge, Starscream, Thundercracker and Hot Shot in the Sears Christmas Wish Book.  I don't have $80 for Starscream and Hot Shot was the first Cybertron toy that I bought for a lot less than that  but I'm going to call Sears tomorrow and put an order in for Scourge.  $40 + tax.  Not too shabby.

Same as the TRUs I visited last weekend in Winnipeg. I think I counted something like two dozen of each stacked high on the top shelf.

Haven't seen either Leobreaker or Mudflap anywhere yet but came across three Dark Scorpys. Bought one though unlike the rest of Canada he wasn't on sale but the regular $40. Still worth it though.

Plenty of Deluxes including many Red alerts and Overides.
As for other Ultras/Voyagers. Literally everywhere I went had tons and tons of Jetfire/Scourge/Crumplezone/Vector Prime. I don't think anybody should have a problem finding any of these in the next while.

Only came acoss 1 of each new basic after scouring through two TRUs. Plenty of Wave 1/2s so with the upcoming sale on Basics grab em if you haven't yet. TRU also had LOCs. I didn't look too closely as to what they all had but I remeber seeing Scoyrge/Jetfire/Hotshot/Leobreaker/Evac. Damn those are small. eektf.gif 
deathsynthe
Brampton...The toyrus close to queen and dixie (i think)...they have the starscream & vector prime 2 pack exclusive.  I was surprise that canada actually carry it since they didn't carry the energon optimus & megatron 2 pack.

I think it should be in the $49.99 range maybe more. Anyway two voyagers cost easily 60+CND so it's a little bit cheaper to get the two pack. I hope so anyway when able.

Question. Does anybody know what the quantity of the two pack as well as the Armada repaints will be like in the next two months. It'll be a while before I'll be able to hunt em down and I definitely don't want to miss out on any of them. redface2tf.gif

The SS/VP 2 pack is $49.99...As far as quantity concerns...there were like more then 20 when I brought mine on Friday.  smiletf.gif

the TRU had Hilda/Steeles west has tons of the SS V-Prime 2 pack.  It's $49.99

Would you mind to be more specific with the exact locations discovered for each update? This will help others a lot.

Stoney Creek and Brantford so far.  But I've gotten the last Sideways from both  thumbsup1.gif.  Brantford has a few snarls left.  I think it's 2 of each remold, 2x snarl and 1x sideways per box though.

Evac out at Walmart. Picked up one in Hamilton.
JustLOKIPLVY
I just grabbed the only Sideway's and Snarl from my local Superstore. What the hell are they doing there of all places? They never bring in anything recent. eektf.gif In addition they had all wave 1/1.5 deluxes and all Wave 1/1.5 Scouts. Deluxes were also marked down to 13.99 CND. smile11.gif
Transmutate
the bay at devonshire mall has a stock of energon and universe, lots of depth charges, one starscream, tankor and obsidon, fireflight,1 dinobot triceradon, bulkhead, landmine,skydive,demolisher, insecticons, strong arm, scorponok

nothing too great but if youre still looking for a few things the bay is usually a good place to check
Transmutate
zellers @ university plaza has energon galvatron leobreaker mudflap and some figures like vector prime supreme starscream and scourge missing cyber keys so they may be on discount.
Optimal-T
I finally got her.  I got my hands on the elusive and wiley Override figure just last week.

I need to find Brakedown, Clocker, Dirt Boss, Blurr and the Minicon Street Team: Oval, Swirl and Back Track, Ransack and Crumplezone.

Then I can get started on the Jungle Planet Transformers and the Earth Transformes.
Ultimatetransfan
the TRU at Hilda/Steeles west is up to their necks in the Starscream / Vector Prime 2 pack now.

There was also at least one Dark Scorponok

The Zellers in Centerpoint mall had 2 Mudflaps, so I picked one up, but the other looked obviously opened/returned
evrdazed
square one:
walmart: 1 mudflap (passed on him)
zellers: 1 snarl (passed on him also, wasn't too thrill with the colours
toys toys toys: 1 sideways for $19.99 CAD. (passed also, don't want to pay that much for him)
no alternators anyways.

happy hunting.

I think it's cheaper to try ebay. kooltoyz charges can$9 on shipping.
But ebay sellers sell them ranging from US$12 - 25.
Assume they both charge the same shipping, we might still pay $10 cheaper.
