If you have access to a US mailing address, the preorder is supposedly still available on Target.com. Having a Canadian billing address didn't seem to be an issue; it did let me place an order.

Keep in mind they will keep authorizing the transaction repeatedly until the order is fulfilled, so you need to make sure your card doesn't get declined at any point or they will cancel the order. Wasn't worth the hassle for me so I just let it get canceled.

Hasbro Pulse has them. There's also a store in Australia selling them that comes up in a Google search but they have a lot of bad reviews. (Although most of the bad reviews are Funko collectors complaining about the box having a dent in it.)

Drat. I don't have such an address in the US. Wonder if anyone is willing to help out there?

Hasbro Pulse is an option if there's little other choice, I suppose, though the shipping to Canada will sting. Is that store in Australia Popcultcha? I've heard of them but never did business with them before. Worth a shot if all other avenues fail.

You can sign up for a package forwarding service like this:

https://planetexpress.com/

But it won't save you any money, if that's a concern.

Saving money is less the concern than actually getting the figure. Though obviously, that doesn't mean spending money like it's free.

Along with Cybertron Jazz looks like the ROTB Jungle Mission 3 pack is available to order on the Target.com site for $54.99 US. It includes deluxe versions of Cheetor, Wheeljack and Nightbird. I wonder when TRU will get it and how much it will be...

Unfortunately the shipping from package forwarding services has been pretty expensive, in my experience. If you ever do cross-border shopping or anything like that, looking into a package receiving service in Point Roberts or Blaine might be a better alternative.

I have two ordered from Target, with the intention of selling the second one at cost. It looks like you are also in Vancouver, so that would save me the effort of posting it for sale.

That all said, there is no indication of when this order will ship, it could be days, weeks, or months; and if I happen to find an Origins Jazz at a TRU, I'll probably just pick that up and cancel the Target order.

I found Origins Jazz at my local Toysrus, where he finally showed up. Already picked up a few for friends who were also on the lookout. If any of you are looking for him, write to me and I will get it and ship it to you, all at cost. It will for sure be cheaper than using a forwarding service and buying from Target.

Looks like G1 Cybertron Mode Jazz is NOW available online to order at TRU.ca for anyone still looking for him for $35.99.
