Introduction and Current Wanted Figures - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

Aras · 02-21-2013, 02:51 PM

Hello, my name is Aras, I am a University student from Toronto and I casually collect Transformers. I was born in '93 with my first exposure to Transformers being Beast Wars. I collect what I find cool, so I'm not really looking to complete any particular lines. Right now, I'm just looking for 2012-13 stuff. I prefer to get stuff from stores since I have my concerns over buying online. If any of you in the Toronto area can point me in the direction of stores that have these currently, that would be great.

Wanted
FoC Deluxe Air Raid (Hasbro)
FoC Deluxe Kickback
PRiD Thundertron
FoC Grimlock
MP Optimus Prime (Hasbro 2012)

I would check out Silver Snail. They seem to be pretty current with Transformers releases and even though they're a little pricier at least you get what you want and don't have to wait for them to hit regular retail. I would e-mail or call them with your wants. They may even hold them, depends on whom you talk to. Good luck.

Talk to Cameron or Ryan at Silver Snail - they'll do holds for you.

You'll pay a 3-5$ premium over retail.

Snail. Cam and George are great guys. Go way back to when Ron was still running the store and we were going on drunken Kayak trips in Killarney. Ahhh, good times.

I believe he means brick and morter retail stores. Snail and the like don't count as sightings because they are specialty shops.

But, for the sake of someone looking for it in Toronto, you're absolutely right.
