Wow, they actually are offering FM at a small mark up compared to retail!!!

Someone is going to be in trouble for that, we can't have an exclusive selling for less than 10% mark up. (Compared to regular TRU pricing that is). ;)

I'm probably gonna get flak for this, but you're better off just ordering the Takara version, even with shipping (just choose the cheapest option).

30 bucks extra for the Master Sword version huh? Could be a lot worse! Is this decision a moot point if you can't afford either version? :P

Are these prices usd?

The Joe/TF set is $99.99 CAD and it was the same price @ SDCC in USD. Saves you ~25%...

The master sword from the Japanese tru special exclusive is going for over $70 usd on ebay already so this is a good deal better.

Pretty much especially with the Yen/Can conversion rate.

You bet, Hasbro is going to give Hasbro a stern talking to ...

dammit......so for $8 cad more I could've had the sword....:banghead:

(I bought fm when he first came out before the sale,so all in it was $241.49 cad from toys r us)

I have the takara fort max from anime export coming hopefully next month (Damn potential strike) and I paid $163 usd before shipping for it and he comes with better paint apps and the sword too. It's about 210 Canadian plus shipping and I'm splitting that with a buddy who also ordered one too.

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
I'll be at FanExpo on the Friday and Saturday. First time since moving away from Toronto 5 years ago. I really want a Fort Max but $250 is kind of a bitter pill to swallow. I'm still thinking I'll go for it. I would get a Takara one but even if I was lucky enough to get a decent preorder, I'd probably get dinged on duty fees once it arrived, and that just feels like getting robbed.

Sayonara.

I'm more interested in Tabletwave. Sort of. Maybe.

Dark Rage 08-25-2016 05:34 PM

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
TRU sale price: $172.47 + ONT HST = $194.89
Fanexpo Price: $249.99 + ONT HST = $282.49

Difference: $87.60 for the sword.

You also have to factor in FanExpo admission cost, and that the Takara Legends version will have more paint apps on it.

And I heard that sword is pretty crappy. Sale hasbro version and perfect effect sword for me. Cheaper overall and much better sword.

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
I paid $50 for the PE Sword at TFCon and it is great. I can't wait to get my Fort Max and put it in his hand. So lame he doesn't come with a gun like Metroplex did.

You have to be at the show to get these, correct? No way to order?

I actually want to get there for the Micronauts set and may be the Brainstorm/Windblade/Sentinel set.

Yes, it is lame. If you want guns get the Japanese version where you can use the cannons on the legs as a gun and a shoulder cannon. Yes, it is still not right but at least TakaraTomy is trying.

I'll be in the Hasbrostore line Thursday@4 to get my stuff.

Saturday I bought a ticket to go see Stan Lee and Mark Hamill photo ops. Latest I'm out of there is 2pm. I'm willing to let someone else take over my pass for say $40 at that point.

So they're only selling convention exclusives there?
No Titans Return Wave 2 toys?

Anyone go today to the show, did Hasbro sell out of anything yet? I just want Kenobi and maybe the TF/GIJoe set.

Marcotron 09-01-2016 04:25 PM

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
I'll be there on Saturday. Pm me for special favours of getting stuff if possible.

Went in at 4pm.
Deadpool is gone. Could not bring myself to pull the trigger on SDCC FortMax. Tablet Soundwaves are selling. Didn't see the TF/GIJoe set at all but wasn't really looking for it. Plenty of TR Transformers.

Exclusives are 1 per person.

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
I would totally have bought a Tablet Soundwave if I were going. That's my biggest sad face.

I'll be going tomorrow, I was just curious on how well/poorly things are selling. I didn't get the skip the line thingy so was just wondering what my chances are of getting some goods :)

Does the Fort Max come in a display box the way SDCC Metroplex did or is it just the retail version with extra sword?

It's the SDCC Fort Max. Not a retail Fort Max with an extra sword. There was the option to buy it in the brown hasbro box unboxed.

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
I went today it was pretty well organized, from what I experienced, I only had to wait about 10 minutes to get in even though I didn`t have advanced entry. For checkout I only waited another 5 min. Mind you I was there first thing in the morning. I checked the booth at the end of today's show and they pretty much have everything in good qty`s (guessing 40+ pieces each, possibly a lot more in the back) minus sold out Deadpool, MCU Scarlet Witch and Soundwave Tablets.

From what I saw the box looks like last years SDCC CW Devestator, it has FM face on the box, then you slide it open and there is FortMax holding his sword in a window display.

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
^^ Glad you found it organized. I found it quite the opposite but I didn't go for the Hasbro stuff/store. Had to go there though as they told a friend of mine the GI Joe/Transformers figures actually transformed and when I told him they didn't we had to go back and explain the situation so he could get his money back. Told him next time ask me not them lol

Marcotron 09-03-2016 02:32 PM

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
There's a guy here at fan expo in the north building who has 5 takara Arcee figures.
$60.
Pm me if anyone wants me to get one.

Ninjatron 09-04-2016 05:48 PM

Re: Fan Expo Canada 2016 Convention Exclusive Transformers Prices
 
I bought a Fortress Maximus on Friday morning. Had to carry it around all day. Not exactly a shining moment, but I just wanted to get things taken care of as soon as possible. Besides that, we grew close during our time together.

There was a photographer there who wanted to take a picture of me holding the box. I was directed to walk by him in a certain spot a couple of times. It was unique. Be prepared to see pictures of a ridiculously cool dude holding a gigantic Transformers box being used as promotional material.

Sayonara.
