The Montreal/Quebec Local Fans Banter Thread

[Buhawi]

Anyone for a meetup? Sell/ trade. Good nerdy time. Throw kitbash ideas? anything TF related?

I'm off three day per week. Hehehe tues. Weds and thurs. I can also meet up before 6:00 pm any day.

There might be a local get-together in the works. I'll keep you posted if it happens, bud. Tuesdays tend to be open. Wednesday I can only do after 6pm. Thursday is mostly out.

Dabra, me too. Je sais pas quoi faire... dans le passe, c'etait possible d'attendre quelques mois pour avoir les nouvelles waves, mais ces jours la... je n'ai pas grand espoir. You just never know if they'll ever show up. STILL no Prime wave 2 Deluxes?? SERIOUSLY??

ugh.

Two things I can see hapening with the later PRID Waves. Either everything shows up at once for the Christmas season (they SERIOUSLY can't have the same Transformers Deluxes as last year still on the shelves, that would be suicide for the christmas season!), wave after wave and rapes our wallets... or we only get wave 2 and everything else gets dumped to Winners (which, at the very least, would mean cheaper price even if we have to wait some more) when movie 4 toys suddenly show up to ruin the day.

At least we don't have to worry about movie 4 toys ruining our day anytime soon...

I WANT DEAD END DAMNIT!!!

Hahaha! I'm not sure what kind of club you think this is!

Anyone can post here. This is just another thread like any other. I just happened start it for Quebec fans... post in which ever language you want, and I'm sure we'll get along.

Well, I like your Christmas theory, because I figure toy departments will have to start beefing up sometime late in October. And waiting a month or two is better than... well... never.

Well if my experience in a toy store last year is any indication, shipment preparing for Christmas are trickling in as we speak. By the middle to end of November the bulk of everything the store need is normally already there, and shipment start slowing down.

So I'm not going to go online for my TF fix until january or february. THEN we can give up hope.

Yup.

That's how I feel as well. Get ready cause those rebates are going to flood us soon enough as well. As for MP 10 I still think it's coming to Quebec.

I suspect TRU will be getting a huge shipment in a few weeks. maybe days.

By xmas time I'll be begging local scalpers to get rid of the stuff out of MY aisles! Lol

Seriously? Have you got any reasons for this, or are you just trying to think positively. Have you just read The Secret or something?

Buying online isn't always a bad idea. In the past I've managed to score things for less than retail. It's usually just about luck. And we do have people in our sale threads here who sometimes sell off new stuff for decent prices.

From what ive noticed, express ones have less particular items and more just overstock items. Also, they are much smaller and carry less items such as bikes and outdoor stuff. Not much of a difference, but i do notice more TFs in these kinds of TRUs.

What baffles me even more is the hasbro shrinkage! Most of the new prime "deluxes" are scout size at best! I can literly put RID Kup next to RTS Windcharger and there is like 1 inch difference.... Not trying to troll hasbro, but i am very critical about the things im passionate about

Awesome thread ideas everyone!

Do the PRID deluxe shrink with the waves? Wheeljack isn't that small. He's still bigger and bulkier than most of my scout, HA basics and PCC Commander (though Smolder looks bigger because of his hollow shoulder-towers). He's not as bulky as Generation Wheeljack but just as tall.

Now vehicle mode might be a bit tricker but I find that what the new deluxes mostly lack is bulk and mass rather than height. I got FOC Shockwave between Generation Scourge and PRID Makeshift on my shelf with Darksteel behind Scourge... it's clear there's a difference in the ammount of plastic but the 'prescence' is not that drastic (well Scourge has that grandiose cape but still).
