Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

My VAMP shipped friday as well, and tracking didn't work until late yesterday afternoon. It's in Illinois right now.

Re: Star Wars Vintage/Retro Collection

I am doing my best to stick to an OT only mandate at this point. It's cool and all, but it's not OT and it would likely not find its way into any display at this point. The droid is cool, but not...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

I just hope amazon doesn't price match TRU! I don't understand how amazon's pricing algorithms work, but I have seen several times in recent years when they have ships from and sold by amazon well...

Re: Star Wars Vintage/Retro Collection

Haha "only"!



It's amazing. I get it if they want to raise prices a nominal amount to offset costs for whatever, be it renovations, or other things, but this is at a comically absurd level....

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Only time I've had them honor it was when a whole section of an item was clearly marked wrong on the shelf and it was clear a customer didn't just move stuff. Otherwise anyone could just walk in and...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

That sounds like a brokerage fee. Definitely not "duties" as toys do not get charged with "duties". Canada Post charges a 9.95 handling (or brokerage) fee plus tax. Couriers charge varying brokerage...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

I would rather they do modern 3.75 over o-ring. But if they do comic centric figures, ones not covered by the comic packs from years ago, I'd be in. And they are apparently doing sunbow and Marvel...

Re: Star Wars Vintage/Retro Collection

Crap, sold out already. And it seems amazon.ca was price matching, though not the bogo, but I even missed that too. Back to 99.99 on .ca

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

I think they charge the shipping proportionally as the items ship. So you may have paid for part of the shipping. Might be worthwhile contacting to see if at least the balance of the shipping can be...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

I have to admit, I am stunned. Koodos to hasbro for offering free shipping to Canadians. And nice timing with the sale. Many items are a bit stale, but there are some reasonable deals now that...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

This may not be a popular opinion but I think they put out too much each year, period. It's not just timing. I'm fairly selective with Classified, and will be more and more as my wants get filled...

Re: Hasbro Pulse Canada when?

Again, there are no duties on toys. Ever. There are brokerage fees that shipping companies charge to cover the cost of them filling out a customs declaration form. It takes them two minutes. And...

Re: Hasbro Pulse Canada when?

This is a good point about overall pricing. That's not just Canadian thing, that affects all customers. It is just amplified when you get stuck paying high shipping and tax when things are already...

Re: Hasbro Pulse Canada when?

It is very frustrating. Two factors particularly make it difficult for Canadians.

One is the general lack of long term (and concurrent) supply of items. If items consistently stayed in stock long...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

The r club coupon was emailed on the 13th and was only good until the 15th. They usually seem to be like that.

The Joe sale is weird. The flyer says all joe figures except clearance. Yet grunt is...

Kwinn and Dr. Venom are two of my most wanted in classified. Debating on whether to get the grey hulk bruce banner 2 pack to stick a Tarkin head on the Banner figure for a Dr. Venom. But $85 is steep...

Re: Indiana Jones: Adventure Series Discussion

Saw them both at TRU Vaughan Mills today along with retro TOD Indy and Shorty. So I think all the retro have been released in Canada now.

You never pay duties on any toys ordered from the US. If you get caught by customs there is a brokerage fee to process the package (Canada post is maybe 10 bucks, couriers, especially UPS, are...

Thanks for that. It's amazing how haphazard preorders are in canada. They just go up when they go up.

Have Thrawn and friends gone up for preorder in Canada yet? Haven't seen them on gamestop or Amazon.ca yet.

Not much OT love for vintage at SDCC. Not a single OT item in the pipeline reveals. And...

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

Lots of skips for me. Chuckles isn't essential for me, so the fact he's SDCC and bloated with extra accessories I don't need makes him a pass. I'd like a shooter, but not liking her look too much....
