Boom! That's what they need to do! I've been saying to people. It might be ok in Toronto where there are multiple stores to check out. But here in Halifax there is only one store.

They have limits on my daughter's shopkins at 2 or 3 at max. Why can't they do this for Transformers. I might be tempted to write to corporate about this.

Like I mentioned in another post we need to do false sightings reports to divert the scalpers. Time to play dirty!

Re: CW Sky Lynx at TRU.Ca

Then someone like me and others that do group buys for other members will just buy our limit walk out put items in car then walk right back i n and buy the limit again. I used to see people do this all the time at the Grocery store that has a limit. Or they go with a partner and then have one go through at a time

Re: CW Sky Lynx at TRU.Ca

TRU does limit Transformers - just not the ones you want this week. (Onslaught did have limit 2) Most recently G2 Superion, Goatwave and MP Starscream had limits of 1-2.

Normally this stuff would all shelfwarm at normal prices for a few weeks due to the time of the year - but WE created this by freaking out with FEAR that we would be missed with Wave 5 and 6 (with some justification for some areas of the country) - mix that what honestly is a kick ass sale on this week and everything goes, or will go as soon as it arrives (C'mon Leader Skywarp and Deluxe Wave 6 this week)

And now a rebuttal from Einstein as to why I am wrong...

Re: CW Sky Lynx at TRU.Ca

Darn it! I didn't get online till it was too late.

I'd like to have SkyLynx just on his own. I don't think I've ever seen wave 6 deluxes at TRU in St.Catharines.

I was online at 4:30 am and that was already too late -- so don't feel too bad about it. :P

Don't worry folks, like the Terminator, he'll be back.
