Are you sure you're not confusing that with the later subline? Cliffjumper has two molds -- the one that will be 1.5 in the First Edition and wide release, and the Robots in Disguise(? that the right title) subline later on. I got into a panic about Cliffy, but then I thought it was the case that both molds will be available in general release eventually.

Not sure about Bumblebee. And yeah -- you can add total confusion as to what's coming out where and when to the mix. Thanks Hasbro! When even your most informed customers don't know what's going on, that's pretty sad.

Yet still we buy.

Re: Transformers Prime First Edition Hitting Canadian Retail

Whats the point of a preview line when the first season of TFP has already ended? We should be well into a regular launch of wave 1 or 2. Especially with Xmas weeks away.

The cliffjumper that's wide release is a new mold pretty sure the first mold will be used for his zombie redeco though

How do you limit the quantities that are shipped out, and lock out a massive retailer like Walmart for example. I shouldn't have to rely on a website for "sightings" of the figures. I shouldn't have to trek across the downtown to blindly check out a far way TRU and come away disappointed. Im not paying inflated prices to scalpers for these figures. And now, Ive missed wave one, and wave two isnt until April 2012. *barf*
(END RANT)
Oh I think they've created lots of interest for the show already. You have people ranting over how they can't get the toys *ahem*

Being patient can't hurt either.

The Canada TF distribution is a snail's pace compared to the States, we're all used to getting things much later than the states from Hasbro. It also depends on how fast current TF stuff gets sold at retailers. And with the movie crap, it's going -extra- slow before any of the CHUG/non-movie TFs are sold here.

I dont know man. We do tend and have been getting some things before the states lately. The Prime stuff for example we had first for a few weeks.

And I think Unicron is a toyrus exclusive in canada only. Dont think it was release in retail for them.

Unicron was an amazon.com exclusive in the States.

Sometimes we get things before the States, sometimes after. Sometimes we get an abundance of toys that the States gets little/none, and vice versa.

Can you point to a source for this? I've been looking for confirmation one way or the other and I can't find it.
