Word from Hasbro was that these would not be seeing a release at Walmart Canada. Cancelled alongside the Dark Trooper build a droid set.

this makes me sad..they originally stated that they will be released in canada at the sametime as US release date... ah well..
Thanks for the info Robimus and Dinga! I will have to call toy traders tomorrow.

you suck hasbro, why does this happen to the canadian collectors? something that should be addressed come q&a time i think

Good thing I got the Dark Trooper off Ebay. Pricy but I don't have a bucket load of useless figures. Just the Dark Trooper. I hadn't seen him anywhere in Canada.

Hasbro did tackle the question in a recent Q & A IIRC. The response from Hasbro was that it was Walmarts decision not to carry them based on the poor sales of last years Evolution and Droid Factory packs at Walmart Canada...so Hasbro passed the buck so to speak.

But your right of course, the collectors get screwed. I was looking forward to both of these releases being a Star Wars EU'phile.

I'll certainly pick up I-Five, Corran and Whisler and Fi Skirata on the secondary market anyway, so it will be costing me extra $$$$.........

Hopefully I can find this at a local convention or something. Dammit, I was really looking forward to this.
