Question Best/worst places to buy Transformers

Have you found a hotspot to buy transformers? A particular store that sells them for a good price and doesn't try to rip you off? Walmarts and Zellers are an easy bet, but maybe there is a store in your area that shines. Also, where is the worst places to go in terms or price and selection?

Worst place is definitely Hart. Voyager are 40$, Crossovers something like $27-28 and Deluxes close to $20.

Re: Best/worst places to buy Transformers

In Moncton New Brunswick I find my best spot is the Wal-Mart and sometimes (when looking for older transformers) a small place called "spin it records".

The worst spot for me is Toys R Us Moncton because they are almost always the last to get things, the last to put new things out on the sales floor, and most of the time the highest price in retail.

Re: Best/worst places to buy Transformers

"The Comic Book Shoppe" in Ottawa is both the best and the worst place to buy figures.
They will get things way before Walmart or ToysRus but thier prices can be steep.

I still thank God I picked up Universe Inferno when I saw him there, have yet to see him anywhere else since.

Re: Best/worst places to buy Transformers

One of the worst places, in terms of price is Metropolis Comics in Vancouver. $30 for a ROTF Sideswipe and the same for the Universe Ratchet and Hotshot. YIKES. But it's not all bad. They do have some older stock items that are decent in price and loose figures. Unfortunately, I think they're the only store in town that carries loose figures and older stock items. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please.
