Re: Best Canadian Online stores?
Honestly there are some good ones, especially dealing with Transformers.
However we lost Superpower Collectibles and Legends this year and others, who I won't name, seem to have all but closed up shop, except they still have a site.
It seems to me that 2014 could end up being a bloodbath for a lot of stores, especially ones that deal with imported products. The dollar is dropping, with more and more analysts believing it will drop below 90 cents on the dollar next year.
It isn't that there is no market, but collectors have been spoiled with pricing for the past 5-7 years because the dollar has basically been on par. If it keeps dropping, are collectors going to be willing to shell out $25-$30 for a ML/DCU figure that is still under $20 in the US? I don't think a lot of online stores are going to be able to compete.
That said, look around, but lately I have been using Ebay because I find the prices are actually better there for figures, even with shipping.
