Where are Canadians buying WFC-ER USA Store Exclusives?

Where are Canadians buying USA Store Exclusives?

Target:
- WFC-E26 Thrust
- WFC-E41 Runabout

Walgreens:
- WFC-E32 Bluestreak

My Target account has been F'd for years and they won't fix it, no matter who I talk to every time I called back when I used to collect Funko Pop figures. I have since gave up on Target entirely. Even if it meant shipping to the border.

I saw Rodimus Primal's gripe about Walgreens Bluestreak when you must buy in person and not able to order online, but once you go in store, they don't have stock at all despite calling them ahead and asking to check and their system says "in stock" - I assume it is a general SKU and not specific to ER Bluestreak.

So how are the rest of you Canadians getting these 3 USA store retail exclusives?

Will local TRU and EB Games save the day? But is there any proof or guarantee of this... or just a hunch based on WFC Siege history with Red Wing and Micomaster 10-pack eventually showin up on TRU?

Bluestreak had a surprise release at EB stores this last week. Most stores got a very small amount though so it's hard to say if you can still find one.


Thrust and Runabout will likely be found at TRU.

Bluestreak shouldn't be hard to find right now. My local EB still had two, and employees can check the stock of other local stores for you. I wouldn't wait, though.

Re: Where are Canadians buying WFC-ER USA Store Exclusives?

I called the eb games for blue streak and gave him the SKU number. They had two at Yorkdale. I had him put it on hold for me and rushed down. By the time I got there someone was literally walking away with one and a smokescreen. They still had mine on hold behind the counter thank God or it would have been gone. Box is a bit frayed but at least I got him. Then I watched the Todimus primal review......crap.

Eb games clerk did say they had lots bluestreaks in their warehouse and that it would be online soon..so hopefully there is a flood of them for the holiday season. Fingers crossed.

Really want Thrust. Hoping for it to show up at Toys RUs like the Thunder cracker and Skywarp pack.

Also I'm 90% positive the first listings for Thrust were through Toy's R Us here in Canada. So there's that.
