Thanks everyone for your ongoing support to a true Canadian E-Store: Automaton! All our prices are in Canadian dollars! Remember that importing your toys from the US is now taking forever, unless you're willing to shell big bucks on shipping, thanks to the recent changes in USPS' services and rates.

Have a nice weekend! (yes, we're almost there folks!)

Best Regards,

Mario and the Automaton Toys Team

Got my Mobine sets earlier on monday, thanks for the great service!

That Smart Robin is highly tempting...

[Grayfox]

Hurray for Springer and Blitzwing!

Japanese Metroplex...To pre-order or not. Hmm. Tough one.

[Oreobuilder]

Hi Mario,

Will you be stocking the US Hasbro (english soundchip) version of Metroplex?

Thanks,

OB

Considering all of the trouble they've had getting Hasbro Springer and Blitzwing in stock, I wouldn't bet money on that, though I could be wrong.

Hefty price for MP G2 Sideswipe, but well worth the satisfaction of nabbing it. Honestly it's either pay a guaranteed price online or risk having to deal with others later on for a much higher price.

Ironic, this is two orders so far in the past two years I've placed with Automaton, what fun. Time to start saving up.

Still hard to tell: what's strange is the fact that we haven't seen (or received) any official sollicitation for the Hasbro version of Metroplex. Other north american online retailers (Canada/US) seem to have the same problem ( I don't think any of us has the preorder up so far, unless I'm mistaking?)

Recently, it looks like Hasbro is giving priority to the mass market large stores (TRU, Target, etc) over online retailers. The delay we have experienced recently with Generations Springer and Blitzwing is a prime example of this tendency.

But rest assure that if we CAN offer Hasbro Metroplex, we will. :-)

Hi Mario,

Any chance you tried to contact Hasbro about Blitzwing and Springer? Its has been a while now.

Thanks

I am not complaining, and I am sure you get this a lot, but can you please explain the price difference between Big Bad Toy Store ($109) and Automaton for Metroplex? Is BBTS for the Hasbro version? Or is the shipping to Canada that much more? This question comes from a loyal Automaton patron. I'm just struggling with the Metroplex price.
