This sighting was made at an Ontario Toys R' Us.

Keep in mind Canadians that the mail away Ravage figure will not be available to Canadians.

Meh' I dislike both figures equally. But then again, that's never stopped me from buying figures before. If and when they go on sale I might pick one up.

So which one of you nice fellows in the U.S. are gonna set up a little distribution to your fellow collectors up in Canada?
It could go a little something like this:
-we send you the booklet with stickers
-you mail it away, and then receive toy
-we send you $10 or whatever you decide (to pay for shipping, and you keep the rest for your effort) [with an on-line bank transfer, or paypal, or something]
-you mail the toys to the Canadian addresses.

I'm sure that if anyone is up to the effort they could help a lot of collectors out, and make a nice little profit for themselves at the same time.

Does the Canadian release of this set even come with the mail-away form? Because the Canadian NEST figures don't come with the stickers, so it wouldn't make much sense to include the form.

No, there will be none of that in our two packs. You want a sexy Ravage you gotta hand blast someone in the states. Have fun with that. ;)

They must really want the canadian release figs become shelfwarmers if they're not gonna make the mail away available to us.

Keep in mind Canadians that the mail away Ravage figure will not be available to Canadians.

And they should keep in mind that my money will not be available to Hasbro.

Pass! The only reason I might buy this figure is the nostalgia of a mail away figure. Shelf warmers ahoy! Stupid Hasbro!

Guess I'm the only one pumped for this so far? I want the Ravage too, but am very happy to add another Soundwave to my collection! Been lookin' online for this one, so nice to know I can pick it up around home now!

For the mailaway, I ordered this, dirge and recon ironhide (at like 75% the canadian cost anyways) to my US postal drop. That should do me for the stickers. Then I will just mail the booklet from here to hasbro with my maildrops address instead of my own.

Here is the drop I use:

Just outside of Tswassen, about 15 minutes from Richmond

PS anyone want a battlefield bumblebee or green soundwave? Too many sonic booms dude?

Didn't Hasbro have mail aways for StarWars and GIJoes but why not TFs?

That's a really nice paint scheme on Soundwave. Bumblebee well...looks just like every other bayformer bumblebee toy in this scale.

So did anyeone ever confirm the contents of the Canadian release. Did it have the patch? Did it have the form? Did it have stickers? I need info people =P

Saw this at TRU Kitchener yesterday - passed on it.

No idea about stickers or symbols or whatever the heck your talking about there...I could not get past how ugly Soundwave's colour scheme was.

If it helps any, I did see the package in-store and nowhere did it mention anything about forms or stickers. So maybe they actually spent time and removed them from the packaging.

Sorry bro, the only thing it comes with is two crummy figures. Well, to be honest, BB isn't that bad.

Wow........ looks like I am going hunting for the USA release then. The whole mail order thing ain't a big issue, it's the real cloth patch of NEST that is what I am gunning for that it comes with. Thanks for the info.
