Ah, my mistake. I was thinking of Siege Astrotrain.

I remember the Brockville WM had all four G1 Astrotrains on that old Siege wave 5 standie for a good long time, nobody wanted to dunk $70 on a tiny little thing I guess

Though ofc they all gone now
I remember the last one or two still around, they were relocated to the back shelves like "yeah we still got this but ain't gonna put it in the regular area"
I don't think the price on them ever went down, but I also never scanned it when it was backshelved

I guess thankfully I bit the bullet on one at full price. Same as others have said I saw them stick around at the odd Walmart location for a long time at full price. What sucks is that on TFW2005 people were talking about finding him on sale for as low as $9(US) when they were clearanced because they weren't selling.

As for an actual sighting, nothing to report of interest on .CA. However it is interesting to note that the amount of items in stock has really shrunk. Don't know if that means a big upload is coming soon for the holiday season.

I had ordered Snapdragon, Smokescreen and Airwave at the same time way back when, with an arrival of Sept 2. When the time came they only shipped Snapdragon. Today I see Walmart pre-charged my card today for about 30$. I have no other pending orders, so maybe they're shipping either Smokescreen or Airwave soon. So that might mean they've got the stock or it's arriving soon.

Probably Smokescreen, someone in Montreal has been listing one (in hand) for a while on Marketplace or one of the TF groups, can't remember where.

Yep. A pre-order had opened up back in April I think. I have an email about a release date change on May 1. I preordered all three at the same time.
