    Wow Sorry about that! I assumed that you guys were getting lots of them. In passed months I was seeing many Ebay posts from the UK for Wave 2 and 3 figures. I guess the UK Ebay Scalpers are buying up what stock they can. :scalper 

    I HATE Scalpers! Even Canadians.

    Pretty sure there's no French. Like for pretty much all previous TRU exclusives, Quebec will get the shaft once again.

    ~sigh

    I'm sure it will take about another month or 2 before they make it this far down in the south.

    What about the French? XD These are (formerly) Asian exclusives, after all.

    I already have Swerve and Cliffjumper. Past that, my MUST HAVES are the 3 Voyagers, though I'll probably grab Springer and Wheelie just because. Can't wait for them to show up in the US. Hopefully it's a better case ratio than Asia..

    Must must must have Powerdive.

    Springer actually looks pretty amazing, but I don't think I'm getting any of the Deluxes. Or Voyagers, other than Powerdive, whom I need like oxygen.

    Does this mean the US is not getting these any longer?

    I just can't believe a thing that Hasbro has to say any longer and when things will be released.

    I'd feel a lot more excited about this if there was much chance of finding these in Quebec. Damn language laws! :(

    Hopefully not, no one is stupid enough to make the same mistake twice.

    Let us hope now that Hasbro doesn't give us the old "oops, sorry those were only meant to be released in Canada" excuse again. I don't think I could take that again.

    Hopefully this means the FE re-release will come early.

    There's a surprise.

    I highly doubt that the other Canadian stores will get these. Maybe it was just that one store that got it by accident.

    Besides, there's nothing I want in this wave, unless we will be seeing the Asia exclusive Movie trilogy.

    packaged in robot mode

    Talking with a hasbro rep at tfcon about packaged in robot mode v.s. vehicle mode he said that these days (compared to the 80's) in initial runs they do both and mix and match the items and do test market sales to see which one sells better on the shelf (which one has the 8 year old begging mom to buy) after which they switch most of the production to that.

    Granted this was two years ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw both packaging in the US somewhere.
