The wave consists of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Have you found these in your area? Let us know in the Canadian Transformers Sightings Forum.

B.C. has a earlier sighting.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

I still need POTP wave 3 and 4 :/

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

This is the first Canadian sighting I've seen but I have to ask, where was it seem at in BC?

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Saying “The Eaton Centre” is pretty vague. I haven’t been there recently, but that’s a huge mall.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Same type of store. Specialty store beast Vancouver i think. I just checked the sightings page yesterday and it was like a week ago.

That being said, to my knowledge, it hasn't this line has not hit big retail yet.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Toy Traders is located in Langley, BC.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Ah, so specialty store, cool, cool. Nice to know they are at least beginning to appear somewhere.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Anyone know the $$ on these??

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Long story short, basically, Siege has the price hikes we see with Studio Series and saw with Last Knight. Deluxes are 29, voyager is 39 and leader is 69

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

I saw voyager Megatron in the Toys Toys Toys at the Scarborough Town Centre for $49.99. Didn't buy it.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

$30 deluxe figures are insane.
remember we used to have $30 Human alliance 1/24 scale figures?

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Aww, those were the days. How times change.....and usually not for the better.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

That price was almost 10 years ago and the MSRP was $40, not $30 IRRC.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

No, because that never happened.
Human Alliance started at $50 at TRU in Canada, you can find this info in the same board you are complaining on:https://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=27329

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

How much were Alternators?

EDIT: Looks like they were 20 USD, so likely 30 CAD?

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Memory, but I KNOW I bought several for $20 canadian at Walmart. Cos I only ever bought three at retail, those being Hound, Tracks, and Dead End.

But I think that was also a case of Alternators not being a super successful line.

I dunno. I fully understand that shit costs more, a lot more, than when Classics first dropped over ten years ago. And it's certainly going to cost a lot more than Beast Wars in 96.

WWE toys are 20 bucks for a basic hung of plastic, the articulated ones are thirty. Marvel Legends are toys that once cost like, 12 bucks and THAT seemed expensive. The high end, 6" figures with piles of articulation are expensive.

But thirty dollars for a deluxe Transformer is simply too much for me to stomach. I'm not generally interested in the Siege stuff beyond the Micromasters and Brunt, and I'm not the collector I once was. But the entire "see it the in the store, what the fuck, impulse buy" factor is GONE at those prices.

For the love of pete....

I keep coming back to this thread when a new post comes in, hoping we get some news of Siege being released in big box retail and Amazon.....

Anyone else getting really disappointed when it's not? lol

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

I just think/hope that Cybertron will just make a new front page post when these toys have been found at actual big box retail.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

It's going to take a lot of discipline to avoid buying the figures I wanted to buy thinking they were at the $19.99 price point... At the $29 deluxe I might have to pass on them. I'll pickup Shockwave and see how Omega is but how much better is the figure with a $10 jump in price???

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

I'm sad to hear that these will get hit with a price hike that the terrible Last Knight toys got. Studio series are better toys and I like the "to scale with each other" concept but have you seen the size of Jazz?!? $30 for a pretty much a legends toy. In any case I was ready to go all in on this line as I really like what I have seen - but these costs are INSANE @ $30 for a deluxe. Even when they go "on-sale" it still not a good price.... Look Hasbro sell them @ $20 a pop and maybe I can score them for $15ish on sale I'd buy it all. Keep increasing costs then I'll just get a figure here an there of my favorites. It's a shame because I WANT these but they have put me in a position that I can't afford them.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

You summed up the situation for MANY fans. Sad really.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

I think we're seeing it with recent MP, as well. Used to be 3P was super expensive but now some of the 3p MP style stuff is cheaper than legit MP, so it's like...

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Agreed. Rumors of new MP Prime are floating around that he will be $$$$$$$

At least with MP they only release a few per year so as much as it hurts the wallet you can save up and get a top end toy instead of overpaying for mass retail stuff.

Everyone has what they like and what they are willing to spend their money on. Toys in general have gotten out of hand with Legends, Black Series, & now TF's all hitting a $30 CDN minimum price point. I'm sure Hasbro upcoming Power Rangers Lightning stuff will fall into that category as well.

It's a huge investment now to be a complete collector.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

That price is no longer a rumor. He's up for preorder on Big Bad Toy Store for $450 USD. It's absolutely ridiculous. If people actually support a price like that, then that will be the beginning of the end of collecting.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

trouble is.. everything is a collectable now, and every one is a collector...

Manufacturers have learned this, and prices for everything has increased like crazy.

Heck, just for one of many example I could give, some small items as a Grandizer mini-replica that I bought for under 20$ ended up going up to over 100$ within a 2 year period.

I love the Macross/Robotech stuff, but when I see prices that are over 300$ for a very cheap and breakable figure that takes 3/4 of an hour to transform, and even if it's very detailed, I just believe that toys should be toys... sturdy, fun to play with, and cheap in price and not quality and not just to be placed in a crystal throne to never be touched again.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

That's what Macross is missing, a line of sturdy chunky toys meant for kids.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

Oh yeah, you are absolutely right. So is everyone who has chimed in on this. Forget Alternators, remember 5 bucks for deluxe beast hunters lol? I think, hope, we can all stop and take stock before we all rush out willy nilly and support these price hikes. I harped a lot on it in the last knight line, can see where at least a few bucks has gone with Studio Series. Who knows, maybe Siege will be so astonishing we will be able to say Okay, a price hike is somewhat justified.

Re: Transformers: Siege Voyager Class wave 1 released in Canada
 

So, in what "might" be good news last night I saw the Seige deluxes were up for pre order on TFTOYS.ca for 30$ and I was like "wait... Isn't that retail price?", Upon closer inspection they seem to sell their Hasbro deluxes at 5$ over retail, so they're might be a possibility that they might be 25$ at retail.

So, um...

Yay?
