May or June?
Walmart and Zellers will probably beat them to the post again;)
Taking bets now...............................$

What's with the prices?:eek:
US/Canadian Parity and all... Dlxs should be $9.99 Voyagers are $22.9x @ Walmart:) now

[Pascal]

I hope they will adjust the pricing otherwise it'll be cheaper to import everything from the US.

[thomas maximus]

what deluxes and voyager prices went down in wal-mart!!! WOW sweet news:D:D

No, just movie voyagers are now $22.9x everyday priced. But, one would assume...

You'd think the Can./US TRU merger would have stopped the 50% price premium they are charging Canadians. We don't put up with that at the book stores!

[GMfan]

TRU has always been alittle more expensive then Zellers, and Zellers on some things more expensive or at par with Wal-mart. Here's hoping Wal-mart will sell them at the US prices, I sure as hell don't want to blow more money on the same figure you can get cheaper an hour south.

[Team Jetfire]

***sigh***

Stupid price difference...

[General Tekno]

Wow. C'est ridicule indeed, that they haven't adjusted their prices at all.

And TRU's the most convenient place for me to shop.

Looks like I'll have to get something at Wal-Mart just to have a receipt I can use to barter a price comparison. I assume TRU does that.

[Icetron]

Prices are lame, I wish they would just adjust the prices a bit (especially the voyagers).

[Robimus]

If TRU doesn't jump on the price adjustment on the deluxes a cross border trip will be in order. That is if I decide to get a bunch of these. I don't even care if TRU matches the USA price but lets atleast go $12.99 for a deluxe.

For me the $30 bucks I'll spend for gas will be saved pretty quick, it always is. And hey, no passport needed by ground now till 2009.:)

Anyone have any idea which Target exclusives we'll be getting screwed by yet?

[Retread]

Hey, if it's anything like the movie, they'll put something on sale every other week for the first couple months. They really should do a drop on the regular price tho.

Cool...but what the heck is on that DVD that comes with Earth Mode Prime and Cybertronian cockroach, er, I mean "jet fighter" Megatron???

Anyone know? Is it just a bunch of stills like the DVD I got with RM-10 Convoy...hopefully not in Japanese!

What was on the DVD in this two-pack ?

Was it worth buying...crappy toys aside?

[Pascal]

Probably a random episode, maybe the first 3 if we're lucky.

This DVD contained a description of the basic elements of Transformers, such as who are the Decepticons and Autobots, Megatron and Prime, Cybertron etc. I only bought it because it was part of the classics line, so if you're not into "full" collections, you are not missing anything.

[jjwankenobi]

Yeah...I was thinking "Animated" Episodes or 1 episode actually. I missed the "Transform And Roll Out" series premiere on YTV so it'd be cool if it's just that one.

But knowing Hasbro it'll probably be another re-hash of clips and a 15 minute toy commercial.

I wonder if tru.ca will sell these on-line in advance...

[jourdo]

Can't wait to see these in stores. I do hope there is an adjustment of the price by one of the retailers. And here's hoping Zellers doesn't understand what a street date is again!

[jjwankenobi]

In case anyone's interested, there's a picture of the Animated Earth Mode Megatron in the upcoming issue of Toyfare.

Here's a link (http://newsreader.visualmedia.com.hk/vm.php?art_group=talk.transformers&article_id=85500)to the pic

G1-inspired head and fusion cannon + swords + attack helicopter mode = One Mean Megs!!!

Wish they were offering this version in the "Battle Begins" two-pack instead of Flying Cockroach-mode Megatron.

[GMfan]
