Yup I meant buzzworthy jazz. Seeing how ss44 was regular price gives me hope that the new jazz will also be roughly 35 and not 45

I honestly don't remember how much TRU listed origins Bumblebee for. Was it $37 or $45?

Buzzworthy Cliffjumper and Kup were $45, and they were the same class size deluxe

No use in hoping, he'll be $45 minimum if we get him.

The Buzzworthy line seems to be TRU only, in terms of the bug chains. But as for timing, it'll usually come out either a few weeks or a few months (or many months) after it's released by Target in the States.

You're not going to see a sighting here unless Jazz comes out in the States first.

Buzzworthy Cliffjumper came out quite a few months later on TRU last year, if I recall correctly.

Yes, BWBB is Target in the USA and TRU has it in Canada. Unfortunately.

They quite often show up at the independent websites like a year after their initial release. I'd still not count on it if there's a figure you really want though.

Also ordering from Asia sometimes comes to around the same price as buying from TRU.

Yeah, for exclusives it's worth it to order from Asia, sometimes it costs more but you get a lot more peace of mind. That's how I managed to snag Netflix Bee & Elita, instead of hoping to miraculously come across them at retail.

What stores from Asia do you guys use to get exclusives ?

It really depends on who's carrying it, because sometimes they're exclusive there as well, sometimes they're not. If they're not, my go-tos are Amazon Japan and HobbyLink Japan.

As well, keep an eye out on Hasbro Pulse, they will usually offer a limited supply of exclusives on their site. Shipping costs way more from the US to Canada than it does from Japan, though... Still, it's worth making an account in case there's an item you really don't want to miss out on.

I think every BWBB has been on Pulse. Problem is a. shipping to Canada is exorbitant and b. often they sell out superfast.

I'm fortunate enough to have a friend in Seattle... I'm just gonna start ordering through the Target website direct to them. Although... I think somebody on the boards here recently said that Target dot com doesn't accept Canadian credit cards!
