    Called 3 stores and asked every employee in each store and they were all the same, had no idea what I was talking about.

    so i just got back from a quick toy hunt in ottawa. i went to the toys r us in orleans and no sight of studio series but an employee told me they had it in their system but had none in stock yet. ended up leaving with a beserker and nitro zeus. then i went to EB games and they had studio series optimus and starscream, just one of each. i asked one of the employees if they had or if they ever had the deluxe classes and he told me that they never had them. ended up getting starscream since i already have a bunch of primes and also have mpm prime so i\'m not planning on picking any up unless there\'s a really good figure or a nemesis remold later down the line.

    Lucky me, it's not from a retail store, But I obtained a Voyager Starscream at a local swap meet.

    Did you at least get a SKU from Toysrus?

    I talked to the manager at the Aurora EB, and he said he didn't see the deluxes on the delivery schedule, but that that just meant they weren't coming on Friday. He said check back Monday or Tuesday.

    I've called one Toysrus and even though they don't have any yet, one employee told me they had more people asking for Studio Series than they did when people ask for the first wave of Power of the Primes.

    I'd call that a good sign for the line's longevity!

    And I guess I don't need to start checking toysrus.ca obsessively yet, haha. Ha.

    ...

    ...I'll be right back.

    I know the TRU in my city is gearing up for studio series. There are multiple sale bins filled up with TLK figures.

    Edit: anyone else having auto correct problems when using the mobile site? Mine is making up new words left and right.

    Can we keep this thread going. If anyone in the Mississauga or GTA area finds a surplus let us know before the scalpers get them. That is unless you are a scalper yourself... in which case fuck you.

    No particular reason. It just feels lonely to be the only one in my group of friends who like and collect Transformers. Kinda devolves to a guilty pleasure now.

    Plus I happen to live quite close to Ages Three and Up xD so if anyone wants me to do recon I can totes do that hahaha

    //sad college kid lololol what is life :')

    What I've seen at 5-6 Meijer stores, consistently, is one set of voyager Starscream/Optimus, and that's it.

    Was able to grab Stinger, Prime and Crowbar from the not so local EB Games. No Starscream or Bumblebee, might want to preorder SS after all.
