Sorry bout that. I figure it's best to keep expectations low when it comes to seeing consitency with MU releases in Canada. Personally, I've given up on retail altogether. Everything is online for me lately.

Yeah, sure. If I see 'em, I'll grab 'em. I usually make a trip to the states every few months. Probably about due for one soon. Girlfriend likes them outlet malls. I sit in the car when she's in the malls, she sits in the car when I'm at Target/Walmart/Tru. It's perfect. These trips down south have made me incredibly jealous of our US counterparts. They don't know how lucky they have it.

Hmm. The most recent news seems to indicate Galactus will show up on HTS after the convention, so I don't know about regular retail. Looks like all of Hasbro's offerings, like previous years, will be available to HTS after the con. Usually the following Monday. The box for Galactus looks awesome.

Yes they always show up at HTS.com but i just have a problem with paying their shipping rates.. I dont think shipping should be more than the figure itself.

Yep. You gotta buy lots to make the shipping worth it. The alternative though is through other online sites or ebay, and normally the prices are jacked up so much you probably were better off paying the stupid shipping in the first place. Stupid Hasbro. How the heck does it cost $30 to ship a $10 toy?

The nice thing is the price doesn't change much after the 30 when you add several figures. Its a good thing this year I'll be buying several figures this year along with the SDCC exclusives.

Funny thing though, I called into Hasbro last year to cancel an order. And the guy I was talking to was in Winnipeg!

Galactus isn't the exclusive but rather the packaging is. i think it's a cool idea that the company can satisfy convention goers with something unique but not shutting the doors to everyone else that can't attend.

The MU figures for SDCC looks good. I'm not too sure if they should be exclusive. Like someone else said they are good enough to be in a normal wave but then again if it's some new character that's being an exclusive then not a lot of people will be pleased.
Sometimes it's just cool to have a cool looking exclusive figure but not an important C or B list character that everyone will be pissed if they can't get it.

Looks like you're right. BBTS has him up for preorder for $54.99

EDIT: To add, if these things do hit retail, like Walmart, in the states, my guess is if parents balked at paying for the gigantic battles sets, they're not going to pay for a 19" $50 Galactus. I bet these things hit clearance in the states quickly if they go on retail, and if that's the case, I think I'll just wait until then...
