Its actually not bad though. ROTB Arcee is a good example. 21.95 on sale for 19.95 at Toynado. So 22.99 and not having to ship if you can grab it locally is pretty good.

Blokees own website charges $20CAD plus shipping.

From that angle, I guess so. However, people in the US have found them at Walmart for around USD $5.00. I would much prefer something along the lines of CAD $10-$13. I imagine maybe there's the TRU tax, so that may artificially inflate the retail price.

I'm not too familiar with Blokees and their naming, but I wonder if what TRU is selling is the Classic Class. ROTB Arcee that GT mentioned is from that series.

I bought only 1 so far and it was from Amazon at 22 ish dollar for ROTB Nemesis Prime. It was the one that is like a model kit with light, stand and a bunch of accessories.

I was just in Kingston on Friday, their TRU had like a whole shelf portion (top to bottom) and additionally, an endcap, absolutely full of Blokees, in the "collectors" section
They had the normal 4-inch "Galaxy" size, the Classic Class, and the Action Editions

Found TFone B127, and Starscream. At TRU in Alberta.

Thanks for sharing. This gave me a reason to go check my local TRU soon.

Oh hey, a failed search (to see if Blokees had any online listings) accidentally revealed for me that that con-exclusive ML Death'sHead is available to purchase on TRU site, for HomeDelivery

It's a bit more than I paid for it @ GS, but could be an option for anyone who missed it and was thinkin about it

Poor Death's Head. I got him right away from GS as well. I love him, but it is sad to see him sitting around pretty much everywhere. That means he is going to be going on sale sooner or later and maybe even "clearanced."

Well at least then I could pick up another one for much cheaper.

I'm glad people will be able to get him, yes?
I had to bust my ass F5ing that Hasbro store page to even get a chance of getting him during that convention. I hope people will be able to enjoy him, and without the shenanigans we had to do to get him, right!
