Was TFA Roadbuster Magnus ever released in Canada?

I just got my hands on the TF Animated Roadbuster Ultra Magnus (hell, NIB - thanks M at the Calgary Con!).

I'm struggling to recall if he ever actually hit retail shelves in Canada. I have a fever dream that, once, I saw him at a Zellers. One, single, time. But I can't say with 100% certainty I did.

IIRC not even the normal deco of Ultra Magnus had dense distribution. Not compared to the endcaps of leader Bulkheads and Shadow Blade Megatrons TRU was clearing out for $20 by the line's end (and the latter of whom I just paid $60 for =P ).

Help me out, fans. I don't think any other Animated figures were terribly hard to find outside of a couple of the voyagers, but as I picked each of those up at retail (Skywarp, Wreck-Gar, Atomic Lugnut) I know they at least hit. Thanks!

I kind of vaguely remember seeing him at a far out of the way walmart around my area. But I wouldn't bet the farm on my memory.

I saw him only once at a Walmart in Sydney and passed on him. Usually leaders tend to stick around on the shelves, but I never saw him again. Kicked myself for passing on him

I vaguely recall a similar thought. "Oh, neat, I don't need him." I certainly said that about shadow blade Megatron, who was easy to find.

I rarely saw the regular release in my area, but Giant Tiger had tons of Roadbuster versions at one point. Him and Bulkhead. I miss the days when Giant Tiger had good stuff. Sigh.

Re: Was TFA Roadbuster Magnus ever released in Canada?

Thanks for the input, all. Maybe I'm not wildly misremembering seeing one at Zellers. Clearly though it was a one and done situation for most.
