MUST GET NOW!

[Code of Honor]

MUST HAVE!!!

[Team Jetfire]

Oh hells yeah. Please make haste to Canada.

[FreedomGundam]

Oh great. TRU exclusive. Which means we'll never see her here in Quebec.

[Icetron]

Wonder when they'll show up in Canada...

[Prowl_2009]

So, now I shall add Arcee to my Want list for 2010! :D

[pulsedragon20]

I though Kmart was supposed to have them too?

[UltraPrimal]

Anyone making a trip down to the US soon? Pick me up an Arcee. ;) Thanks!

[Robimus]

Hurry here! :D

[Malwave]

Wonder when they'll show up in Canada...

xD I'm sure Hasbro isn't stupid enough to limit it to a US release man


after all, they did make Target exclusives available at Zellers just to get Canadian buyers


...those crafty salesmen >_<

[Richter]

WOOHOO!!

They'll come here
Animated pegs everywhere are super empty

[jacobot]

I look at her picture on the card back at Walmart almost every day:o Bet it's gonna be a wide release in Canada... Or TRU is getting free advertising at Walmart :confused:

Less than $5 on sale... What happen to the dollar being on or near par?

[SimonMK]

Oh great. TRU exclusive. Which means we'll never see her here in Quebec.

But the TRU Exclusives (G1 colored Soundwave pack, G1 colored Mixmaster pack and Bludgeon vs. Whirl pack) of ROTF came here... why not the TFA Exclusives?

I am happy to not wait until Spring/Summer after all to get them.

All exclusives are available to every respective retailer. If an exclusive doesn't make it to Canada it's the retailers that pass on the exclusive, it's not Hasbro's fault.

[jacobot]

Unless they don't have any "plan" to on release it here ;)

she is tattooed on on Freeway Jazz's backside :)

^^;;;;;;; good counterpoint

[Ultra Maverick]

want!...please hurry to Canada

[max99d]

I was under the impression, Arcee was not coming to Canada and was only a US Toys R Us Exclusive.

Working with my US contacts to get her and Ratchet.

wish me luck

[GMfan]

I don't know what would give you that impression considering it was stated....nowhere.

The reason for that is because these were all packaged and ready to go even before Botcon in May. They didn't get broken up and split into exclusives till after that, hence why Arcee is on the package of a general release figure.

[Pascal]

Surprising, I thought we would have seen leaked samples almost a year ago yet the first few only surfaced in like November.

[Evan]

I've seen Freeway Jazz and Electrostatic Soundwave on the shelf, but haven't spotted Arcee anywhere.

[JaySmith]

I was under the impression, Arcee was not coming to Canada and was only a US Toys R Us Exclusive.

I thought I remembered reading that somewhere as well. Infact I could have sworn it was in one of Hasbro's statements.

That's because she's a Toys 'R' Us Exclusive.... and here I thought the title would be a dead give-away.

[skinsquad]

I've already pre-ordered the Takara one so not really in the hunt for this one.

[Prowl_2009]

Hopefully Animated Rodimus will follow suit soon! :D

[Alexander Quinn]

I think someone should shake down a TRU Canada rep to find out if they're coming up here or not, cause if they aren't I gotta get on my American friends. I just don't want to spend months waiting for them to appear up here just to find out they aren't coming to our stores and then have them be sold out in the USA.

I'm pretty sure the most recent round of questions from Hasbro mentioned that they do plan to release all the remaining TFA stuff here.

I'm pretty sure the most recent round of questions from Hasbro mentioned that they do plan to release all the remaining TFA stuff here.

First off, we are definitely humbled by the continued outpouring of appreciation for the Animated line. Similar to the U.S. market, we will continue to do our best to deliver those ‘unreleased’ characters to the market, but still need to work through the plan to achieve this goal. We certainly do not want to promise anything at this point in time, but we will try our best to make this happen.

They're going to try to, but aren't guaranteeing that they'll see Canadian soil.

[Prowl_2009]

Well, good thing I have family in the US! :D

[Malwave]

xD worst case...eBay! XD

But yeah, fingers crossed they do finally bring out Rodimus Minor. We all know at least ONE member who'd be all over that figure...along with mostly everyone else on the forum actually |D

[Prowl_2009]

LOL, this is true. :p

[Cheers Ian]

Well TRU Canada has always been pretty good at getting the Transformers exclusives. I really hope they don't screw this one up.

Or I might just drive down to Buffalo one day after work.

Cheers!

Is it bad form to pick up all 3 of the Arcees that I want at the same time when I see them on the shelf? I just have to have her, 1 MOC and 1 in bot mode and 1 in alt mode.

You and me both!

xD as long as there are others left for everyone else XP

[down_shift]

I really won't be surprised if they don't show up here. I mean HC already said no to other exclusives showing up like the Walmart Exclusives, and that was them saying they have no plans to bring them out here, not Walmart has no plans of bringing them out here.

I'm in he clear though because the old man is going to the States tomorrow and in another 10 days after he gets back. I've already told him that if he doesn't come back with a swath of Arcee's, Cybertron Ratchets, and the 3 Ultra repaints then he can stay in Florida! heh. (like I can really complain if he's going to try and do a solid like that.)

[Prowl_2009]

LOL, agreed! :D

[justprime]

Hope there's some left to show up here in Canada (in about three months"LOL") Funny how Hasbro Pawtucket can ship ALL the way to California but it cant make a same time debut here.....I am sick and tired of chasing it out of the states I will pick it up overseas ,... by the way any one know if the Japanese release will be in the metalic colors as it seems to be the way they are going to be in Japan....

[Mighty_Galvatron]

If you wait...she WILL come.
