Is TFA Wreck-Gar EVER going to hit Canadian shelves?

I know there were sightings for Skywarp and Longarm Prime on the west cost but they never hit here in Ontario. I remember GMfan101 mention something like there's going to be a cut off date to these figures were going to be close to this weekend (May 31) and that we should panic then.

Well I'm panicking now! I have yet to se Skywarp, Longarm Prime and WRECK-GAR HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED!!! Who really cares about Atomic Lugnut. I'm scared we won't even see them...

Is anyone else scared this is going to happen as well?

Dude i know exactly how you feel!! Not so much of a Wreckgar fan but i felt like that for Premium SS. and i hate having to resort to ebay and stuff.
I'll keep you in mind if/when i do see Wreckgar in stores.

I've seen Atomic Lugnut here and there, and Purple Shockwave and Sunstorm sets, but never Wreck-Gar or Skywarp. And Skywarp is what I'd very much like, thank you very much. [There was never a Voyager-sized Thundercracker, was there?]

Re: Is TFA Wreck-Gar EVER going to hit Canadian shelves?

I have a feeling we will not be seeing a wide release of warp,longarm/graywave, Automic Lugnut, and Wreck-gar in Canada. With the ROTF figures coming out and Animated being done (at least as far as the show is concerned), I bet that Hasbro Canada is not going to bother with them. Canada usally gets jacked when a line comes to an end.

Re: Is TFA Wreck-Gar EVER going to hit Canadian shelves?

It kinda makes me feel better about paying more than retail for him back in December...

Grimlock09 here had one for sale last time I checked. Might be your only chance outside of Ebay.

That said, maybe the remaining Animated figures will get repackaged under the Universe label later.

Yeah, I am very skeptical that we'll see these figures at retailers during the movie blitz. I personally feel we've missed the boat on these

Re: Is TFA Wreck-Gar EVER going to hit Canadian shelves?

I feel like I've said this a thousand times, but I emailed Hasbro and actually asked them about their product, and they said that they were scheduled for release although they could not say when.

According to the customer service agent I talked to, the next TFA Voyagers are supposed to be available at WalMart, Zellers, and Toys R Us.

I strongly urge you to contact Hasbro directly and request (politely!) that they release them in Canada. I know the ROTF blitz is coming, but TFA and other lines already share shelf space... I don't see why a couple more Voyager TFAs can't share space with ROTF. Companies like Hasbro have customer service for a reason. Tell them you want Wreck-Gar!

I don't think it's a matter of Hasbro of not wanting to release them but the stores not wanting to order them now that the ROTF flood is about to start.
