    Glad I preordered mine. So I don't need to pay high price. And who knows if Ratchet will be high priced.

    The Smokescreen listing isn't new. I remember seeing it a while ago (Also it's already listed as sold out). Ratchet is though.

    I'm hoping that someone in Canada picks up the Target exclusives for distribution. Toys R Us would seem the logical choice, but their ongoing seeming indifference to keeping up with product lines makes me have doubts.

    Odd, since Ratchet has an earlier release date. Odder still is that when I preordered, one of the figures required a deposit, and one didn't.

    TRU is apparently getting the multipacks. The Micromasters have already arrived, and the Rainmakers are supposed to be showing up this fall. I haven't heard anything about Red Wing.

    It's been my understanding that EB doesn't require minimum deposit amounts on anything anymore. I chose to put down $15 on Ratchet just because I had it in my wallet, but I've also pre-ordered games from them and paid nothing until I picked it up on release day. Granted I don't know if this changes online. I've only ever pre-ordered in-store.


    You have a source on this? Not that I disbelieve your or anything, I just like seeing official word so that I can stop plotting a 3 hour trip down across the border to the nearest Target. Hopefully it means they're going to cycle their inventory better though. They still have Siege Wave 1 on the shelves last time I checked and last year even by September/October they were still selling PotP Wave 1 and even some Titans Return stuff well into the point that Walmart was stocking PotP Wave 3. And I'm not even talking about clearance figures.

    I accept that Canadian distribution is laggy and janky to begin with (I still have yet to find Wave 2 Starscream/Soundwave outside of a collectors' store selling at a markup, or the wave 2 micro/battle masters in any capacity), but TRU has always been the most sluggish retailer over the last few years.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

    So it's safe to say that October is more than likely to be when i will have a chance then. I was thinking
    it wouldn't be online and store would be tough to find it. So if October is around that time then i guess i have a wait then around 2 more months.

    A friend pre-ordered it in-store a day or two before they appeared on the website.

    Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to a physical store, so I'm out of luck. :(

    .... oh. So THAT'S why I didn't just preorder Ectotron off the GameStop Canada website, because it probably sold out before I could, just like this. I'm screwed if I have to go in person. They just don't make enough of these for Canadian stores.
    I actually ended up ordering it off the US store to send to my US middleman. and the price of the Canadian release would have actually been cheaper.

    Are you kidding me?? How am I supposed to know how to get exclusives like this?? Do I have to camp out in a tent every day for weeks and call them on the phone a dozen times a day and prostitute myself to a manager?? I'm so sick of this crap!

    It was reported on Seibertron.com. Hopefully they get to TRU soon and prove this story true. I'd like to save myself some trips stateside as well.

    Looks great, but being here in Ireland means I aint got any chance of getting him outside of scalpers.
