While there are several figures found recently in Canada that have yet to hit the US, there are others that are really late.
We'll start with those. The Studio series deluxe wave that includes Offroad Bumblebee, Shatter and Roadbuster has been found at brick and mortar retail. They were found at Walmarts across the country with the specific sighting below coming from Montreal, Canada.
The voyager wave with Sentinel Prime has yet to be seen and the previous voyager wave with Mixmaster was never spotted at big box retail (just Amazon and briefly EB Games). So if any of you Canadians spot those voyagers at Walmart or Toysrus, let us know.
There have been many new sightings for Earthrise. All the following come from boards posts on Cybertron.ca.
Skylynx was found in an Ontario EB Games by AgeofTransformers. They also found leader class Doubledealer at Walmart.
Rung and Slitherfang were found in an Ontario Walmart by Transbot90210.
A collectable store found in Ottawa and Montreal called CMD got their shipments for Earthrise Scorponok and Skylynx as well. That was reported by Huasotron 75.

I can confirm some of this. I received today my Skylynx from CMD store in Ottawa. He is amazing but I should have waited to find him at EB Games. I also saw and bought Shatter and Roadbuster from EB games in Montreal sunday.

I don't have faith in my local Walmart. It's a store that is very shy in stocking anything.

I often read on this site that so and such was found at stores in Australia or Canada. That is great for persons that live there. BUT I rarely ever see any Transformers at my local Walmart (or anywhere else) here in Florida. If I really want to get a certain figure I have to order from an online seller. The so called, "Brick and Mortar stores", here have very few TF figures. I wonder if other U.S. States have this issue or if it is just Florida.

Being Canadian, a Canadian sighting doesn't mean much when the damn things never appear in my town. So you're not alone in this.

Thank you for your reply. It's kinda nice to know its not just happening in Florida. I mean it is depressing but "misery loves company" as the old saying goes.

Of all those sightings, the only one I saw at my Canadian Walmart were the studio series figures which were already released in the US months ago. So we are all in the same boat.

I understand your pain of finding Transformers at retail. I can have access to two Walmart and 2 Toys R us and even then, sometime I can't find what I want to buy. I had to order online Siege Voyager Springer (at high price at that) because he never showed up anywhere near me. I never was able to get my hands on Bumblebee's Optimus for same reason and he is going online for insane price right now. So yes, distribution might be an issue.

I had to import my SS Bee Optimus from Japan via Mandarake. It was the cheapest way.

Still haven't bought from Mandarake even though some people suggested it at a Transformers panel last years at Montreal Commicon. I might give it a try because SS Bumblebee Optimus is crazy expensive on secondary market. And I really want him.

Maybe it was ME, who suggested it to you.
So far, Mandarake is custom free as long that you don't use DHL. But due to the COVID bullcrap, packages are delivered extremely slowly.
Just in case, the SAHRA store is the only one that give you the shipping cost up front. Use it to estimate the cost of shipment for the other stores. And of course, combined shipping work only in single stores.
Finally, EVERYTHING is "packaged damaged" to avoid the OCD mint-collectors. If there's a real issue with the condition, it will be stated. If the thing you want is out of stock, you can always put it in your alert list and hope for the best! I got a few things this way.
I think I spent THOUSANDS at Mandarake on so many things!
Anyway, if you get shafted in finding things in Canada, you can import them from them at very low risk:

I found SS38 Optimus Prime online at a great price a while ago. I believe I paid $30 and so I bought two. I have to find them online and I do look for deals and sales. I managed to find the reissue of G1 Convoy (Optimus) minus his trailer for $25 and again I bought two at that price. Now I see it selling for over $50 each. BBTS and Walmart online are the best bets for flash sales online.

Anyone who want a "dirty" Netflix Ultra Magnus can get one at Age 3 and Up.
Preoeders at only 55$CAN. It's a pretty damn good price for a leader, especially for an online store.

Very few remain so if you have any interests, hurry up!

After a drought of new toys, Canada is on a roll with new sightings. Thanks to posts from Cybertron.ca we now have sightings for Cyberverse Iaconus and the Earthrise Decepticon Clones 2 pack.
Transformers Ultra Class Cyberverse Iaconus was found at a Walmart in Ontario by KRSkull. He is $44.97.
Transformers Earthrise Cybertronian Villains Wingspan and Pounce 2-Pack was found at an Ontario ToysRus by wervenom. If calling to check if it is in store, use the SKU 477877. They are $34.99.

Well, this is random. At Toys R Us Laval, the RID 1Step boxset is back. 90$ for it though.
Also, to he ER seeker 2 pack is available. Not much else unfortunately.

MPM Starscream at Toys R Us Laval, QUEBEC!!!!
For 230$CAN plus taxes.
Plus, full restock if Siege voyagers at full price.
EDIT:
MPM Starscream is now available online for 230$CAN plus taxes. Of course, Quebec is treated as a second class province. At least as you can see above, it's possible to find it randomly live in store anyway.

Nobody will care but if by any chance someone does, my local Toys R Us at Laval want to get rid of their Siege Apeface (20$) Siege Shockwave (28$) and Siege Micromasters (5$).
I'm not rich enough to squirrel some though.

You really think any of that is worth our time. I saw it too and said nope. But, Cyberverse Ultimate Class Optimus Prime for 10$ at Walmart was definitely worth the bet.

My Walmart is crap in holding any inventory.
Oh, and my local TrU have an army or "fast action battlers" "deluxe" Splitstream at 10$ for some reasons.
Same TrU now have at least 10 of that 100$ RiD 1-steps boxset. Where they are all coming from?

Great news for Canadians like me who just can't ever find those damn Walmart G1 reissues in store.
Blaster is available online and even ship to Quebec! Hear that, Toys R Us?
For the very reasonable price of 40$CAN, meaning the same price as your standard voyager.

Remember the old days of getting that Toysrus Holliday catalogue? Well, while that is over for Americans, it is still a thing in Canada. This year's catalogue has Baby Yoda on the front cover and features lots of discounts on toys, including Transformers. The discounts are on the Cyberverse Battle Call figures (now $25 CAD) and the Earthrise deluxes (now $24 CAD), which are represented by Cliffjumper (a fine pick if you ask me). That makes both assortments around $18 USD.
Canada has caught up on most sightings found in the US, such as the second wave of Earthrise deluxes now at Walmart. And speaking of Walmart, we even have some firsts such as the ultimate sized Cyberverse Battle Call figures, which feature Bumblebee in a Gypsy Danger mask.

Looks like I'm the only one caring about this thread.
Anyway, that "legend/scout/core" sized "MP-01" Optimus Prime, the 2017 Platinum Year of the Rooster one, is on rollback at 80$CAN.
https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transforme ... 0196611276
Having money to burn, I'd be kinda tempted but even at 80$, it's still too much for this primitive collector item.
Maybe on Black Friday the deal will be sweeten?

We have some more sightings for you. Firstly, MPM Ratchet has been found in Canada at Toysrus, where he is exclusive. He was found at Toysrus stores all over the country including Quebec, which is a province the toy won't ship to if you buy it online (still currently available). The toy is $169.99 CAD.
Another exclusive found recently is Gigawatt from the Transformers Collaborative Back to the Future Mash-Up. It was found at EB Games for $59.99 CAD. That specific sighting was first posted on Cybertron.ca.

The back to the Future crossover Transformers toy, Gigawatt, was never said to be exclusive to any retailer, but still, many Canadians were surprised to run into him at Toysrus after being offered through EB Games. And not just seeing him, but seeing how much with more than a dozen being shipped to stores, as you can see from the photos below. Great Scott! The price is rather steep though, at $60 CAD, so we'll see how well they sell. The images below come from Dspayre and Gunsligner over at Cybertron.ca.
In other Toysrus news, a new sales starts tomorrow where Siege Micromasters and the "Target Exclusive" RID One Step multi pack are %50 off. While that particular set is from years ago, Toysrus has been getting large quantities of it the past month. Makes you wonder what else is being forgotten in warehouses.

With any luck, there will be a Black Friday sale and a Gigawatt with my name on it.
Also, 45$ on that RiD 1step box set is a fair price. And the price that should have been from the very start for old overstock "nobody wanted".

well that figures, i got all excited a few weeks ago when i nabbed a pre order on EB Canada's site since it took over a year before i was able to get Ectotron!!
so all i had to do was visit toys r us? damn.
as for pricing, its the same price as EB and thats also what Ectotron cost so its not surprising. i mean neither are "worth" that much and shoulda been 40 or less but i'm sure the licensing was one issue and canada just sucks for pricing with this sorta stuff.
that said, the figure is really cool and i dont regret it, he's way smaller than i expected and he looks so tiny next to Ectotron in robot form but yeah....i love both!!
i have no interest in the x-men crossover figure but it looks cool too.
here's hoping they do Knight Rider eventually...i mean they can do KITT and KARR to represent each faction!! the possibilities are endless!!

Every year, I like to go to Toysrus at the beginning of the Holliday shopping season to see how (hopefully) plentiful it is, and it rarely disappoints. And I want to share that with you all, especially those who no longer have Toysrus and can get a sense of nostalgia and at least know that what they felt when they were young can still be experienced by kids (and parents) out there. Toysrus is all stocked up for the holiday season as far as Transformers are concerned. Granted, it's not all the latest items since there are still plenty of Siege toys (the Micromasters are half off right now) but what matters is that there is stock for parents and relatives to buy. There are also lots of key exclusives like the Seeker two pack, Studio Series Leadfoot, the Decepticon Clones and an overflowing amount of Gigawatts. They even had more Transformers in other areas of the store, like the stocking stuffer display in the shape of a gift box.

No more limited than any other figures. Even the "exclusively" is relative. And for the regular price they go for, these are basically unscalpable.
That is, unless a store pull a Target and clearance the thing at 75% off 3 weeks after it's release.

I thought I had read somewhere a while back that they were limited to 5000 units. I mean perhaps I’m wrong but I remember being really disappointed by it.

I call fake news.
Heck, you can stiff find Ectotron in stores today and they'll even re-release him with some differences in paint for the upcoming movie.
So, no need to buy from a scalper.

People don't read carefully enough. They said the initial stock would only be 5000 units followed by a wider release later. What you are looking at is most probably the wider release.

2020's Black Friday is turning out to be rather lame for Transformers toys, at least when it comes to the main retailers.
Both Toysrus and Walmart have massive sales... on last year's items. Most of these are Siege toys that were just recently restocked, meaning there was a ton left over accumulating dust in a warehouse. In Toysrus, the Siege voyagers (anyone want another Siege Megatron?) are shy of $20 while Siege deluxes (how about another Chromia?) are shy of $15 at Walmart. The Cyberverse armoured figures are also $15 at Walmart while Toysrus is selling their newly restocked Siege leaders for $35.
These deals are only available in store at the moment since the limited online stock sold out instantly.

The most interesting ones like a 20$ Springer or a less than 7$ cassettes pack were sold out instantly.
Regardless, Canadian Black Friday suck major ass.
The American online retailers are no better. TF Source and BBTS have the same old, same old on sale. Often just at 10% off. Big woop.
Meh. More money saved by not buying anything.

This is my local Walmart. Just look at this Transformers selection! Appart some Gigawatt at the bottom, you can see the cancer growths all over...
Sigh.

It seems some big box stores were not going to put their Transformers orders on the shelves and sold them off to Winners (what TJMaxx goes by in Canada). Wave 4 of the Cyberverse deluxes has been found there in a few provinces, meaning that Canada's first sighting of deluxe Thunderhowl is at Winners (or Marshalls, which is the exact same store). They also stocked up on other Transformers toys at discounted prices. Here is a rundown of what you may find at a Winners or Marshalls under the Cyberverse line:
Deluxe for $19.99
Scouts for $9.99
1 Steps for $7.99
Battlecall Officer Class for $49.99
Also, the Netflix deluxe wave 2 toys were found in British Columbia and Alberta.

Even the newest Arcee, whom I only saw listed at Amazon.ca while I awaited my BBTS order. 
Oh well... That's also why I finally decided to get Deluxe Bee, Optimus, and Megs. Bee being passable, the other two being marvelous.
