Vic park hasn't gotten any TCers yet at all so no they didn't have 4 yesterday but Cedebrae did.

And wow you really have land on the moon? Because it is true they are 2 to a pack and with 500 ish for all of Ontario and over 100 stores he isn't far off on the numbers sadly

So you saw the order number? Simply asking. That is a fact that each store coming up to Christmas is going to get one case with 2 items. TRU ordered less for Ontario, the largest population centre in Canada than what the collector's club would make in a run for some exclusive?

You see where I'm going with this? It may be true, but all of their previous ordering history, including GDO Dragon Prime would point to that being a wrong number. (Not the 2 per case thing, just the total order number

2 per case is true enough. The rest, horse shit.

And all those distributed to over 100 stores = ..... Ya not many per store so I would not be hopeful of getting one at Christmas unless you buy it when you see it and put it away.

Sounds fair enough for the first order, there will be or already are more probably. They did the same with Grimlock and Rodimus.

If your in Ontario Don't buy from this guy!
I HATE SCALPERS!

I hope the figure is all over Canada and US before Christmas! This is what I am asking my wife for Christmas.

I just checked that ad as well. He is also selling TC at $120.

If this is true. This means the the guy I mentioned before who is putting them up on Kijiji grabbed both of them from the store. He included a photo of the shipping box from Hasbro in his sales post. This is also why I have suspicions that it was an employee that is posting the sale. These boxes are not seen on the floor of the store. they would be despised of once unpacked and placed on the shelf.

My post befor:

^^ Maybe he is someone who works night shift there. When I went this morning to pick up TC their system said they were supposed to have 12 off of last nights order but the lady could only find one case of four at TRU Woddbridge. Anything's possible I guess

To be fair, I was told they had four yesterday by a CSR rep for the store. I didn't watch them sell them. The CSR may have been wrong.

Just wanted to give you my source.
