Re: GameStop.ca (formerly EB Games) Transformers Sightings and discussion

Yep. Why would I spend money at Gamestop if there's no discount when I can now order from Hasbro Pulse with free shipping?

Or, instead, go with the smaller local TF retailer that has competitive prices if Gamestop isn't gonna be doing discounts?

I've been expecting them to collapse in the next 5 years mind so I'm very much of the "I'll milk this while I still have it" mindset.

Pulse finally offers free shipping to Canada?

For about two weeks now. Permanently too. There's a Hasbro thread about it

Wow, finally! I suppose it's always harder to get a preorder with them because there are a lot of people trying, but that should be a huge game changer if it does indeed stay in the long term. Nice!

It already made a huge difference just on regular orders alone. People have been cancelling preorders and reordering to get the free shipping. BAM $30US saved right off the top.


Then they had the recent sale as well. I managed to snag a Nerf Halo Needler for $75US plus taxes. WIth exchange and CC fees it came out to just under $120Cdn. That is about the lowest I ever saw it up here (before tax) so I was happy to be able to get one. Especially since it was sold out pretty much everywhere.


Going forward it will be a big difference maker for Pulse exclusives and smaller orders where we don't have to worry about shipping as much, if at all, anymore. I mean even the $6.99US for orders under $75US is a pretty good deal considering how much shipping costs, even up here, for small items. I remember I looked into the cost of shipping a deluxe figure (in box) from Ottawa to Toronto and the cheapest rate came out to just over $22Cdn!!

Wow, I just renewed my right before this announcement. Guess I'll milk it while I can. Good timing for the Hasbro Pulse free shipping to Canada

My Onyx card renewed in September so I'm good for awhile.

Expiry for me says Dec 09. So this means I'm without the discount until the new program kicks in at some point next year?

If so, this sucks
