Bear in mind, in the US the Black Lion had a different street date than the other limbs. Could be the same deal here, hence why nobody's seeing them yet.

Also it'll be $45. Not that that's a huge difference, but I've seen the SKU, and like I said the Walmart lady was nice enough to scan it with her information gun and said they are for sure coming.
I hope it does make it to Canada, but when I had the walmart skew scanned at 2 locations, they said not in transit. So...I dunno. Tru doesn't have a black lion skew as of yet.

Because I don't care about the electronics, but I don't want to pay for something I'm not getting.

I feel the same way. I might listen to the phrases once, then pop the batteries out. Still, it's insulting enough the price increase versus the actual dollar difference; don't need the product to be butchered too.

TRU in Barrie has a few Ultimate Vs on a walk around display in the front of the store with Fast n Furious stuff and Gaurduans if the Galaxy, if you decide to grab one. I'll let you know if I find the others. I'm still looking for Blue and Black.

Re: Voltron toys

Yes! Excellent news. Have you tested to see what the sounds are like?

Re: Voltron toys

Any sightings of the Black Lion in the Hamilton areas?

Could save me trouble of spending $70 to order from the U.S.

Just wait, it'll be out anywhere Voltron's sold. Even if there's no sightings yet, there will be.

A lot of people are being hasty when the figures have only just started trickling out.

Re: Voltron toys

This is what they had besides the Black Lion. Sorry no limbs. Also the Black Lion is the same as the American release. All the same sounds

Re: Voltron toys

:lol So some stores have nothing but limbs, and one has nothing but the torso.

FFS, how do retailers not see the issue with that?

Re: Voltron toys

If anybody in the Brantford area is looking for a black lion, the TRU in that area has 1 left as of this posting.
