Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

[Ozrein]

Amazon.ca hasn’t been reliable for preorder for quite a while now. That’s why I gave up on them last year and preorder through Canadian online toy stores now. If I’m preordering, it’s for a figure I want so securing a reliable preorder is priority 1. I’m not taking chances and missing out on the few figures I really want.
If it’s not something that I “need” (ie: really want), I’ll happily wait for a discount or sale and pick up figures that it’d be cool to have but I can just as easily pass on.

Damn, both GameStop AND Amazon cancelling Perceptor? That's not good...

Agreed.


Though I am also a bit gun shy on Amazon.ca due to getting burned a couple times. I mean that I would preorder something, it would come in stock, I would get my order and a week later it was on sale.


So now I don't bother with Amazon.ca for my toy "needs." If I really want something I will secure it elsewhere. If it is an Amazon exclusive I will wait, and if it sells out, oh well. Otherwise it is bargain hunting for me on Amazon.ca

I guess not, but it isn't like Perceptor isn't coming. This has happened before and the item eventually shows up for order again. Something has happened for the near term, but long term he will show up.


He isn't exclusive, like the Ramjet/DIrge 2 pack, so he won't suffer the same fate as the 2 pack. He'll show up again sooner or later.

My ca order for terrorsaur disappeared from my order so I guess they got cancelled across the board. Maybe it will get released in legacy down the road

[Wheelwave]

Yep, My Terrorsaur was cancelled. Now I am worried my .com one will not show up.

My .com one arrived, no problem. Hang in there

[NightshadeX]

.ca terrorsaur. Cancelled. Thank goodness I ordered from .com too and already got it. It’s earthrise Amazon exclusives all over again when they are high demand characters

[imfallenangel]

I'm still waiting for confirmation for my Terrorsaur from .com but I'm hoping that it's just that I'm part of a second batch as I did my pre-order later than I should have (before it sold out but barely).

I hate this wait...

I know that it's been stated that he'll be re-released with different colours, but still, this one looks great and until I see what this other version looks like, I'd worry that it won't look as good.

I got an email weeks ago saying it was shipped. A week later it said Delayed. Haven't heard from it since.
