Re: Transformers RoTF 2010 Deluxe Wave 2 Released at Canadian Retail

Could be...it's about time these popped up anyways, been about a month since the last wave popped up...I'm sure a few other reports will trickle in before the flood.

Do you have Animated Lockdown? Do you like it?

Cause this version is 100x better, in every way!
The only con this figure has IMO is his claw needs to be a bit more posable.

YAY!

3 out of 4 will be mine.

The forth will be mine, if there is a sale.

Think that's the first time I ever saw a buy in US - return in Canada happen. Unless there is some other bizarre explanation to the English-only.
It gave me pause for a second too, but the 2010 Wave 1 deluxes (Dirge, etc) were English only too from what I could tell.

I did once read about someone on these boards returning a Wreckgar to a Canadian TRU that they'd bought in the US, so it does happen, but less likely up here this far from the border...

I hope it's the real deal - I really want 3/4 of this wave!

Ah well, at least they are out! Unless it was some kind of bizarre bought-in-US-returned-in-Canada thing. Doubt it though, we're 2 hours from the border here.

Check the stock again today if you can - its probably someone didn't finish stalking the pegs last night for whatever reason. They might be there right now.

Re: Transformers RoTF 2010 Deluxe Wave 2 Released at Canadian Retail

There was a single stripey NEST Bumblebee floating around the TRU here for about a week and a half before I saw Dirge or anyone else from his wave. But they did come. So that's cool.

What we need now is Walmart to get them and have another 9 bucks or less rollback. That'd be the sweetest plum.

True. Sq1 & Heartland walmarts usually have a good supply of US carded figures warming shelves. Even wave 7's like Dirge were on US card.

Plus, Goaliebot is a trusted member and loyal poster here. I for one have no reason not to belive him.

Before you guys get too excited about this, I'm pretty sure that this figure was a weird US return thing. I checked out the Kitchener Toys R Us after work where the Sideswipe is.

The packaging was only in English (US packaging) and was pretty badly beat up, it looked like the card had been bent in two at one point.

Someone may have ordered the whole set from BBTS or somewhere and exchanged that figure for one they wanted.

I could be wrong, but it seems really fishy to me that

A) There was only one new figure of the wave and no multiples, usually when we get new waves stores tend to get several cases.
B) It was in a damaged US package.

Cheers!
