1 Attachment(s)
transbot90210 has made the sighting many Canadians have been eagerly waiting for. The Toys R Us exclusive Transformers Animated Arcee and Cybertron mode Ratchet have been sighted at a Canadian Toys R Us.

Post these, or other sighted Transformers, in our Canadian Transformers Sightings forum.

I knew Arcee would show up eventually. I'll have to ask my sister if she can keep a look out for her. :)

Wow.... I thought I saw a pig flying by today. Better check the temperature in Hell just to be sure.

There is hope for Rodimus then?

Yep, 1 week after I bought them online...surprise!

Oh finally,but,rather go to the US to buy them cheaper.

Transbot90210 06-10-2010 04:03 PM

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
I bought mine when they first came out through a fellow board member at a minimal increase to price.(very fair in my eyes)

It was still nice to see these on the pegs because I know we have younger fans that can only aquire these figures via a toy store.

Cyb. Ratchet may not be a must have but Arcee is and now the younglings get a chance to share our joy.

Thanx

Ummmm just going to Buffalo and back will add a minimum of $60 to your purchase in the form of gas.

Sorry I don't see your logic unless you end up in the States and happen to buy them then.

Seriously?

Really.

Seriously?

Was NOT expecting these. Got some already, myself. Ah, well. At least now everyone can get them.

I'm going to the States sometime in the Summer to visit family for a few days,while I buy some the toys cheaper there...the gas will be paid by my parents since they technically are driving the car.:rolleyes:

Wow, this is great news. I, like others, already bought Arcee from someone in the US. However this could be a good sign that Rodimus and Ironhide will eventually be released here as well. Maybe, if we're lucky, they'll come out around the same time as they are supposed to come out in the US (September, I believe)... of course I think that is just wishful thinking.

Was there any French on the packaging, or is it English-only?

Yes! :)

I didn't read the packaging so I can not answer that.

No problemo.
Thanks for the good news anyway! :)

Wow. Good news for those who still need them.

Way to go TRU Canada!

Which Toys R' Us was this photo taken?:confused:

Just curious if they got lots 'cause there's only one TRU in my area and the other ones are too far for me to go.:(

BTW, It's about time they showed up! Saved me from ordering the Arcee figure online:D

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
Crazy, was NOT expecting this! Man, that lead time is crazy.
And here I went and spent $20 on one. I should have had faith!

I wonder if ordering a Japanese blackout was a mistake then?
He's got a better deco I suppose anyway, but this bodes well for the future of animated in Canada

Toronto Steeles W between Yonge and Bathurst. How do I know? I took it :D Don't know how many have left now but when I got my set there were 3 each still on the shelf.

Now I have 1 extra Japanese Arcee waiting to be shipped...

I'm freaking out a little here right now.

I won't be able to check out my local TRU until tomorrow night. Hope there are still some left. Hopefully this won't be the only shipment!

....................... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS finally it comes out. After months or years of waiting they come out. Now i hunt for them.

I love how this is stickied. I'M GMFAN AND I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT THIS

Robimus 06-10-2010 07:20 PM

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
I suspected these would come here eventually. Now we'll see if there's enough inventory to go around.

crimbot 06-10-2010 07:27 PM

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
Did NOT see this coming! I waited and waited... and bought them from eBay. Same place Optimus learned about the glasses.

Scrapper6 06-10-2010 07:32 PM

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
YES! With Cybertron Mode Autobot Ratchet in my possession I was wondering how I would get Arcee. OK Now seriously, anybody want to buy me one locally and trade for something on my sales list??? :( Needs cash for Arcee before she gets Scalped.

Bountyan 06-10-2010 07:32 PM

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
Gonna hunt for Arcee, but pass for Ratchet. I've already seen the Ratchet at a hobby store last month.

Yep, he took the photo. I just "stole" it.:p

But I just checked my local TRU in Barrie and they have quite a few of them. Didn't pick any up though as, like most other people, I already imported Arcee. And Ratchet doesn't look like he's worth $16! Sheesh! Rip off.:rolleyes:

Oh man this is so awesome! I was so hoping for this release since I am not going to be at TFcon this year. Now I can get one! Hurrah!

"Yeeeeaah boyyyyyy!!!" /Flava Flav

So glad I was patient and waited it out. Dang it, I'm having the work-week-from-hell and didn't have time to check this til I got home, as the Yonge + Steeles TRU is near my work. Instead on my way home I stopped by the mall to buy jeans and boxers...I need to do laundry. (TMI)

Hope there's some left when I have some time to swing by. TFs/Arcee should always be #1 priority!

Damn, I got mine for $14 USD and it arrived just yesterday. :p I guess I will pick up another Arcee to paint when I see them on shelves.

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
Went to both TRU on Lawrence and the one on Steeles but no Arcees to be found :(. A few Cybertron Ratchets were spotted...

Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Animated Arcee and Ratchet Sighted in Canadian Retail
 
Since the packaging is only in English, I now have to haul my ass all the way to Toronto...well at least I can hit 2 birds with one stone :D!!!
