Good news for fellow Canadian fans! Friend site Cybertron.ca report that the Transformers Earthrise Thrust and Runabout have been released in Canada.
Earthrise Thrust and Runabout (origjnally released as Target exclusives in the US) were found at Toys “R” Us in Ontario by Cybertron.ca member leobreaker1977.
Happy hunting!

Thank you kindly.
So far their website doesn't list him being available anywhere near me but I'll keep checking.

Stock seems to be catching up a bit. Couple stores had/have Thrust in stock. I picked one up this afternoon along with Runabout from a freshly opened case. Only one other Thrust was there though he's still selling fast!

My online order for Runabout at Toysrus.ca is already on it's way.

Just about every Walmart you enter around here has a mostly bare tf aisle with about 30,000+ He Men right across from them.
There’s still mountains of Battle Cats.
Dont get me wrong though, it’s a beautiful sight.

I heard that there's a glut of wave 1 MotU. Wave 2 never appeared (allegedly) then now all wave 3.

I fig’d us boomers were after him the most but that would be assuming I guess. lol
Have no idea about the contracts.
Those distributing the new Halo & He Man stuff are doing it right though.

Geewunners?
What about just TF fans?
I wonder when the exclusivity contract expires?

I don't understand why they don't release these highly sought-after groups in three-packs on Pulse or something. At least then it's all or nothing, and you won't have an incomplete team.
Chaos Muffin
Seen Thrust here only once and that was lucky.
Really hope they can re-distrubute all 3 coneheads somehow. Prowl & Ironhide as well.
Too many missed out on them and those are highly important characters for geewunners.
Subdurmal
So have they actually been put in stores?
Nothing but sold out or not at this location on the website

Anyone wanna help out a collector from the other side of the world get their hands on those two?

Currently sitting on 6 new Thrust. Who has a Runabout to trade?

I like Runabout. I will be checking around for him.

Yes they failed when they moved in to Canada by buying all the failing Zellars stores. They painted then red and called them Target. But Canadian consumers didn't go to Red Zellars either since it was the exact same as Zellars only red now and they somehow went out of business.

Well, I got an order in for this online while it was in stock. And then TRU cancelled my order today. This is becoming… less fun than it should be.
all are dead
Canada doesn't have Target anymore. They pulled out of Canada. They were the same entity though

I am never going to put my Thrust\'s wings in that position.
