First off, yes, I spell favourite with a U. Get over it.

Now onto the point I actually want to make.

Have you noticed that, for the past few years it seems, Hasbro has been showing favouritism towards Canada (except when it comes to Target exclusives and MP SS).

Classics was released here a few months before the US release. YTV is ahead by an episode of TF:A, and now there's reports of Toys R Us carrying Wave 1 of the animated figures. There's some rumours of Wal-Mart carrying too, but I live out in the middle of Primus-forsaken nowhere, so I haven't seen any.

I think it's a mask for a deep ploy :3nods:

But I live in Canada so I have no complaints mrgreen

As I do not live in Canada, and have neither the resources, nor time to visit the northern neighbors, I cannot say for their supplies.

If they are favoured, then they are in the good. I am willing to wait a bit, as Primus has forsaken much of my area as well.

Y'know, now's probably a bad time to say, but I checked my wal-marts just for curiosity's sake... and walked out with Cybertron Mode Prime and Lockdown.

Lockdown's just a hair shorter than G1 combiners.

Therre were also 2 Prowl, 4 Bulkheads and a Starscream. If you live on Cape Breton island, check out the Mayflower Wal-Mart.

And they let a Canadian draw the art in so many of their comics despite a major lack of talent
