ToysRUs.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

I'm not sure if they're actively trying to put themselves out of business, but I know I'm done shopping there. Especially when I can support a small Canadian retailer for less.

SS Deluxes $42.99. Kingdom Voyagers $49.99.

Pricing themselves out of the game.

I'm surprised that it took this long for TRU to raise the prices on the kingdom voyagers as they had them listed at $39.99 while WM raised them to $44.99. I would have thought TRU will match WM pricing and not go higher but that is not the case.

TSM posted a video on prices today straight from hasbro CEO.

Commanders going up $5. So are Voyagers. Deluxes up $1 leaders up $3

Marvel Legends, light in collection and classified series all going up $1

Expect to see this on tags end of March

I can't stress enough how much freight has gone crazy in 2021 and looking like it's going to continue in 2022.

Literally 2K USD in 2019/2020 to 16-18K USD to get a shipping container in from China.

I completely understand where these increases are coming from.

Agreed but pretty much decided I'm out with these increases. Saw a post with Marvel Legends now at $40 so done with them too

I do not blame Toys R Us at the price increase. However , I am close to the point that I am pretty much out of the game. Its getting ridiculously expensive. Give me the rest of the leader dinobots and I am done. Unless they have some G1 inspire combiners that looks good, then I may consider only buying those.
