ok TRU is having a sale for scout size toys that are regularly selling for 10 bucks. it is now selling for 5.89 and applies to all cybertron scout size (smallest size) toys as well as the new classics minicon 3packs. however it doesnt seem to apply for the cybertron minicon 2-packs.

i think its worth buying them if you if you have interest in any of them since i dont think they can get any more cheaper than this (it's almost just as cheap as it can get in hongkong too). i got myself the shadow recon minicon pack (the one with translucent plastic)

there are rumors that voyagers are also on sale but can people confirm this?

At my local TRU, the classic voyagers were on sale. Did not check Cybertron voyagers though.

Cybertron Voyagers are also on sale (based on the fine print on the TRU flyer anyways). Then again, I hardly see anymore voyager sized TFs from the Cybertron line anymore. Oh, and if for some reason someone still doesn't have a Primus here, there's still plenty of him at TRU Sherway for $40.

if you are still looking for alt prime, there's 3 available at TRU at qew and dorval

.....yes, that's in oakville

for those interested. zellers at square one has 2 of each titanium rodiums, titanium RID prime, titanium and starscream.

TRU next to Carrefour Laval: (I passed by 2 days ago)
- Wave 2 Classics Legends (Bumblebee, Menasor, Jetfire, Whirl)

Zellers at Place Alexis-Nihon: (as of this morning)
- 2x 6" Titanium Rodimus Prime
- 2x 6" Titanium RiD Optimus Prime
- 2x 6" Titanium WW Starscream
... I took one of each of Rodimus and RiD Prime, though.

Now all I need is 6" Titanium Ultra Magnus and then I wait until the movie toys hit.

TRU next to Carrefour Laval had:
- 2x 6" Titanium Jetfire
- 1x 6" Titanium Thundercracker
- 1x 6" Titanium Optimal Optimus
- 1x Alt Meister
- 1x Alt Prime
- 1x Alt Camshaft
- the rest of the classics stuff, I think

wow, does anyone post on here anymore?

anyways, i was at walmart @ duffering mall on sunday, and they had tons of movie preview protoform optimus prime and starscream. i went back today, and theres still plenty of them there. enjoy.

My guess would be Transformercon. I don't know about everyone else, but I haven't gone on a toy run in weeks to save up for the stuff at the convention.

there's not much new lately anyways in retail so that's why i haven't been posting lately

and i am not 100% sure i want to go to transformercon.....do dealers usually charge their items on the expensive side?

and on an unrelated note, did anyone here got masterpiece megatron safely without any issues with customs?

I got my master megs from tfsource with no problems at all. plus the orange plug fell out on its own in the box.

errhm, im talking about an unmodded version of mp megs actually

mine's still stuck at vancouver for a day so far (maybe it's just waiting to be cleared and transferred to ground delivery)

errhm, maybe you should have said that then.

well it will be a stupid question to ask anyways it's already modded to the safest standards

anyhow, did anybody went to transformerscon in toronto? the guy who's selling/displaying prototypes are also displaying the movie toys, and i am somewhat not too thrilled with how prime looks for both versions (well, the mistransformation on leader prime's legs didn't help on aesthetics either)...

Ah yes, I actually thought the movie primes looked much better in person than in pictures. Was this the same dealer that was had the loose (and incomplete I might add) clear Sonic Convoy giftset for $175CDN, lamuness?

ya, it's the same guy who had a sonic convoy and a prototype galaxy convoy and master megatron.....and a protoform movie prime for 70 bucks

i dunno, i dont think they look too good in person if you ask me...the grey plastic on voyager prime actually didnt look too bad compared to the photos, but not sure about the head sculpt (even though it has light piping on the eyes it seems). leader prime....well the rear wheels kinda fell off the thighs so that didn't help with asethetics, making the entire leg look very skinny, and both prmes look very back heavy

for the movie toys i currently only ordered ultimate bumblebee from japan, and that's pretty much it. i am holding on movie prime and maybe wait until it goes on sale or clearance

so did you buy anything carbonblue (or anybody else who went)? i bought all 3 of super car-robot brothers (jp version, boxed) MISB for 50 bucks and the first car-robot wildrider MOSC for 10 bucks...and that's pretty much it. since i have megatron coming this way (provided it passed customs and all) i didn't have to pay 150+ for it at the con, and i just placed an order last night at e-hobby for ths-02 black version and clear BT mirage so i didnt buy a ths-02 black version at the con at kool toys....although i think 90 bucks for ths-02 black version is relatively reasonable, all things considered

Yup, I was at Transformerscon too. Met up with carbonblue there.
I didn't get that much myself, though... Some junkers to use as kitbash fodder, Universe Micromaster Superion MOSC ($35), a 12" Marvel Legends Icons Spiderman, the Alternated Masterpiece poster, and the WSTF G2 Slag. Small haul for me, but I sorta expected that either way.
The dealer with the prototypes was funny, because I picked up Protoform Movie Prime at Wal-Mart the day before (on my drive from Montreal to Toronto) for $15.

Back to Masterpiece Megs though; I received mine from HLJ April 24th or so (I was away in Atlanta at the time). Got back on the 26th, and checked it out; no problems with a sealed and unmodified MP Megs. I believe I paid about $108CDN after shipping, which I guess isn't that bad...

On a totally unrelated note: anyone seen any Power Rangers Operation Overdrive Drive Defenders around? It's the transformable gun/sword that they use in the show. I picked one up last week when I was in Atlanta, but I want a second one to kitbash...
It's this, in case you're not sure:

You can ignore the monkey-themed Rubik's Cube...

zellers in square one has a couple of optimash prime. and a lot of titanium rodimus, RID prime, and WW starscream

oh good....i might go get a optimash prime for my baby nephew's bday next week...hopefully its suitable for a 1-yr-old

Zellers in Place Vertu in Ville Saint-Laurent:

- Several Optimash Primes
- Movie Preview Protoform Prime and Starscream
- Robot Heroes 2-pack figures: Prime vs Ravage, Mirage vs Starscream, Rodimus vs Insecticon (Shrapnel, really), and Grimlock vs Shockwave

Zellers in Cedarbrae Mall (Lawerence & Markham Road):

Lots of Optimash Primes
Lots unleashed bumblebee
2 leader class Optimus Prime (brought myself one, so one more left...$59.99)
Lots of movie gear toy
Lots of Optimus Prime Helmet
A few Blackout
A few Ratchet
Lots of...don't know what they call but you know those legend of cybertron type one, but it's the movie version now.
Lots of fast action battler or whatever they call
A few kid version of Bumblebee

There might be some more, but can't remember...Let just said that the movie toys are out at Zellers.

Wal-Mart in Fredericton NB (Regent Mall)

Just found

Leader Class Optimus
Voyager Class Blackout and Ratchet
Deluxe Class BB, Jazz, Barricade, Wreckage, Scorpinok, Brawl
Optimus Voice Changer
Full assortment of Robot Heros
Optimus Big Rig Blaster

From what I can tell, still no actual movie toys in Montreal (or surrounding area).
Most Wal-Marts, Zellers, TRU all have the Protoforms.

In addition, Zellers at Place Vertu in Ville Saint-Laurent had:
- Robot Heroes 2-pack figures: Prime vs Ravage, Mirage vs Starscream, Rodimus vs Insecticon (Shrapnel, really), and Grimlock vs Shockwave
- Movie Legends: Bumblebee, Ratchet, Barricade, Jazz

TRU Hwy 7/Weston Road had:

-- Robot Heroes
-- 1 x Softimus Prime
-- 2 x (Cuddle?) Bee
-- 1 x Alt Prime
-- 2 x Alt Meister
-- 2 x 6" Titanium Starscream
a lot of: Cybertron Ultras, Deluxes, DVD Primes, Primus(ii?), Cybertron Leaders. Sadly, no movie stuff though.

What's sad is that I've never seen ANY DVD 20th Primes here in the Montreal area. And I normally pass by 3 different TRUs, 3 Wal-Marts and 3 Zellers'...

.... another possible language issue (i.e. Prime doesn't say the movie lines in French) maybe?

I don't think so, I've seen plenty of them in Quebec City.

The TRU at Hilda and Steeles has all 6 Movie Deluxes (Barricade, Brawl, Bumblebee, Jazz, Wreckage, and Scorponok) and the 2 movie preview figures

TRU next to Carrefour Laval:
- Movie Deluxes wave 1 (Wreckage, old Bumblebee, Scorponok, Jazz, Brawl, Barricade)
- Softimus Prime
- Slumblebee

Sears inside Carrefour Laval:
- Movie Voyagers wave 1 (Ratchet, Blackout)
- Movie Legends wave 1 (Jazz, BB, Barricade, Ratched)
- Cyber Stompin' Optimus Prime

TRU at Hurontario/Eglinton notables:
4 x Optimus Prime busts
A couple of Alt Primes, Meisters and Ricochets
1 x Slumblebee
... plus a crapload of Movie Protos and Movie Deluxes..

Zeller's at Allen Rd/Lawrence Ave.W notables:
2 x Classics Ramjets
2 x Classics Starscreams
2 x Classics OP
1 x Classics Jetfire
1 x 6" Titanium Starscream

silver snails has nike transformers in. way too expensive though. at $64.99, it cost almost as much as a real pair of shoes.

I got mine from BBTS last week (cost me some $30-and-some USD + a bit for shipping). They're nifty, but transformation is kinda simple, and it's about the size of a deluxe. But they come in this great looking box.

well seems like the movie toys are out at TRU....but prime is a bit too expensive in my opinion: 70 bucks?

while deathsynthe mentioned on may5th that he found one at zeller for 59.99? is that a typo, deathsynthe?

The Toys R Us on Hi Tech Rd has their entire movie display up

Available:

Bumblebee Unleashed
Voice Changer
Big Rig Blaster
Starscream Blaster
Softimus Prime
Slumblebee

Cyber Slammers: Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade (I didn't look closely, there might be more.)

No it's not...I brought my leader OP at $59.99 at Zellers...Some people also mention that it was sold as $59.93 at Wal-mart, but I never seen them. I was shocked that toyrus has it for $69.99, but toyrus are always more expensive anyway. =p

TRU at Carrefour Laval had all the movie toys today...
- Leader Class Prime
- Fast Action Battlers
- Bump & Go figures
- Legends
- Deluxes
- Both Prime and Starscream blasters
but NO Voice Changer Prime helmet, which is what I really wanted.

crap, does anybody know if there are any places in toronto that is selling leader prime for 60 or less? otherwise i may consider smuggling it from the states of hongkong...honestly $70+14% tax is not very appealing in terms of price

Zeller's and Walmart will be your best bet for the $59.99 Leader OP.

Zellers Atwater now has all the movie toys, but they're not in the "regular" TF section in the toy aisle. They're actually just outside the electronics department. They have everything other than Softimus Prime and Slumblebee, from what I can tell at a glance (deluxes, Leader Prime, Cyber Stompin', Unleashed BB, Fast Action Battlers, Bump & Go, Prime and SS blasters, Prime helmet).

Yup. Zellers has Leader Primes for $59.99. I haven't checked Wal-Marts around here in Montreal, though.
Has anyone in Eastern Canada found the Peter Cullen Voice Changer Prime helmet yet? All the ones I've seen so far are the Gary Chalk one. As much as I like (and sometimes prefer) Chalk as Prime; Movie-Prime is Cullen, so I want that one instead.

Tonnes of movie toys out at TRU Hamilton, blackout, ratchet, Leader prime. Leader prime's probably the best tf I've seen since masterpeice prime. It's pricy but I think it's worth it.

Also available is Megatron statue for 100 dollars, mini prime bust for 50 bucks and reissue G1 soundwave for 39.99. I picked up blackout, Prime and reissue soundwave.

The worse of the bunch is Soundwave. It feels like a knockoff, ravage's cassette mode doesn't align flat. Every peice in the set feels like it's going to break in my hands. I compared it to a knockoff taiwanese microman cassetman, and the knockoff is of better quality (and it's close to 20 yrs old). Terrible.

Also, there's lots of prime voice changer (didn't check if it's the Peter Cullen one or the BW guy).

dufferin mall TRU has every movie toys released to date. also, they just put out the G1 soundwave (just as i got there) there's about 5 of them left at the end of the day.

define 'every movie toy released to date'

I want an Ironhide and a Starscream

they're in the later waves, and have not been officially released yet. everything that's in wave 1 is out.

TRU Woodbridge (as of Friday 3pm)
5 (count 'em, five) Classics Soundwaves (still debating on picking one up myself)
A whole whack load of movie stuff (except no Voyager Ironhides though)

TRU Sherway (as of Friday 430pm)
A few each of : Titaniums Rodimus, RID Prime and Starscream
A really nice awesome movie display setup; seriously, this TRU has the best setup so far. There were plenty of PVC figures too; ditto for the voice changer helmets.

...biggest disappointment though is the lack of Cybertron Leaders (from both stores); I still need Tuxedo Cybertron Prime...

Laval, Quebec


Went to Wal Mart at Centre Laval and was happy to find Voyager Ironhide and plenty of them. There was also quite a few Starscreams available also. If you can't find the toy in the regular transformers section, there is a display next to the Spider-Man 3 display. Tones there.

Mike

TRU at Yonge and Eg Toronto had a half dozen of the $20 off leader Primes yesterday. The one on Steeles past Yonge didn't have any today. I'm still trying to track down a voyager Prime and Starscream (Haven't seen Ironhide either). Ratchets been pretty common at most places and have seen a few Blackouts around.

Voyager Prime isn't out yet (minus the Target exclusive Robo-Vision one), as far as I can tell.
