I think that falls squarely on the shoulders of the corporate buyer. Just because an item is a Walgreen's exclusive, you're right, it doesn't automatically mean EB Games will bring them in, and EB has only been making the investment in Marvel Legends, but they also carry more Marvel Legends than just the exclusives. I suspect EB can't single out Transformers exclusives only, so in other words, in order for them to be bring in TF exclusives, EB would probably also need to invest wholly into the series and be committed to the full Titans Return line, which they probably won't want to do.

Who knows, the Titans Brainstorm has been announced recently as getting a wider non Walgreen's release, so it might show up at a WM or TRU, or even a Superstore at some point this year in Can. Its all just what us Canadians have to deal with being here...eh!

Just to be clear. This is what's on the box when you buy it from Toys R Us. Take it as you will.

That's weird for a BBTS exclusive to be sold by TRU here in Canada. Maybe they're an exclusive only in the US ?

Nevermind realized now that it is a shared exclusive.

Its not a shared exclusive, that would mean its shared by TRU adn BBTS IN the US. But it isnt. Its just a BBTS exclusive in the US and an exclusive at another retailer in other countries. Like every other exclusive ever.

It just happens to be exclusive to TRU in Canada.
An thesticker is just there because most quantities are going to the US and they couldnt be bothered to make sure only the ones that went to BBTS had the stickers. Same thing happens with Target exclusives, like he RID 6 pack we got at TRU which had the Target exclusive stickers.

All I mean to say is that there is nothing special or new here. Its just business as usual
