Hmmm, I wonder if they will give rainchecks at this price, to be used on Sky Lynx

The flyer displays Jetfire's SKU Description as "Generations War For Cybertron Commander" so it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility

But would the raincheck last until July 31st-ish?

Re: ToyRUs.ca Transformers Sightings

Rain checks are good for 6 months I think.

Lets hope amazon's price matching AI picks up on this. Better chances scoring at Jetfire from Amazon then TRU.

No. There would be no way to pull that off. TRU wil either ship it right away or hold it for pick up in store for 3 days.



You also wont be able to pull off any sort of price match trickery where you can transfer a sale price of one item from the siege line onto another item from the earthrise line simply because they are both commander class. More so considering Skylinx is 4-5 months away from now which takes you out of any sort of purchase protection, RClub or otherwise.

Good point. amazon shipping is much more reliable.

I haven't used one since early POTP, hope you're right - also thought I heard raincheck "valid ranges" may vary on a per manager basis? We'll see I guess

If every location is closed as per the announcement, then yes you are correct

Believe me, I wouldn't have surmised it except for the extremely "non-Siege-specific" wording used in the flyer's SKU description
The instant we discover SkyLynx has a different SKU than Jetfire, yes this will be blown out of the water

Last time I used one was I think a 2-3 month gap? (EDIT just double-checked, was only 90 days) so yes, you are probably right

Just did that too! Has anybody been to an EB lately? I went to my local EB the other week and asked what TF’s the had coming out and the manager I was dealing with mentioned a pre order for a Skywarp 4 pack at $69.99 coming out on March 20th so I put in a pre order hoping and thinking it’s the phantom squadron. We’ll see this weekend hopefully.

Re: ToysRUs.ca Transformers Sightings

TRU is advertising curbside pick up. Just call ahead to say your picking up your online order and it will be brought out to you.

The name on the website is Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Commander WFC-S28 Jetfire.

My guess it's just cut off on the flyer.

Amazon.ca is currently selling the Phantomstrike pack for $61.
