Thanks to our sister site Cybertron.CA, we now have news that the Toys R Us exclusive Masterpiece Acid Storm has been released at Canadian retail, thanks to Cybertron.CA boards member Tech Spec, who sighted the toy at a Toys R Us in British Columbia.

Ontario has 15% sales tax. Soundwave has a huge box so the shipping box has to be even larger or TF fans freak their box isn't mint.

Honestly I wish the US TRU would put a limit on the MP releases because I have not seen a single one.
I know you guys are buying multiple Soundwaves to "help out the board members" but I don't want to pay an extra 40 dollars to cover your expenses when I SHOULD be able to go into a store and buy it myself. You're helping board members, I get it, but you're screwing over every other local collector. Just because you see two Soundwaves, doesn't mean you need to buy two.
I know shipping rates have gotten expensive, but asking 40 or 50 dollars in mark up for shipping and taxes seems like you're getting a nice little chunk for yourself.
I'm just really sick and tired of the collectors in my area buying all the Soundwaves and listing them for sale here to help out people in other states. If people would buy what they wanted the guys in the other states wouldn't be needing them, and if they didn't need them you wouldn't be buying every bloody one you saw.
I'm not blaming it all on the fans, there are scalpers who get them too, but after seeing how many people are selling Soundwaves on the boards right now, it's really starting to irritate me that I'm going to have to pay an extra 40 or 50 to have one of you guys send me one you picked up at a store instead of leaving it there for your other local collectors.

I picked up 2 of these about 3-4 weeks ago when I got masterpiece soundwave. They didnt have a limit on purchase then. I guess they think its gonna fly of shelves but @ $80+ usd each I think people are going to second guess getting him.

Limit one per customer? I think they have him confused with Soundwave. It'll be warming shelves soon enough.
