Canadian Toy Sightings

[DVD]

Go for em.
I really like them. The vehicles are reissued several times each with minor paint changes.
The sets a little weak to be honest but still worth having. I've yet to see the multistory car park shown above.

The AutoTuner is worth getting alone if you don't want to go after the basic cars, and there's the 'talking' sub set that are pretty neat.
Mine, I keep in my office where I most definitely do not play with them or roll them down the Shredder trap road

cool cool. well i might stick to the two-packs rather than the individual cars

[nellyp]

As of today apparently target.com now ships to Canada. The ninja turtles Dimension x 5 pack is just over $61 before shipping for anyone interested.

Edit: I tried to go through the checkout and it said the item can not be shipped to the Selected country. I knew it was too good to be true. I assume there will only be a small amount of items they will ship.

I tried another item which was the Goodsmile Mikey statue and the shipping, duties and taxes combined were an extra $80 making 1 statue $258...ouch. Needless to say I backed out

Does anyone know if we're going to get the 5 pack in Canada? I'm tempted to order off of ebay.

Playmates has been pretty strict with this line. BBTS usually ships outside the US but they have all the Playmates TMNT items marked a being for the USA only.

Seems to depend on the figure and the store. Amazon.com will not ship new stuff to Canada at first and then open it up after it has been out for a bit, while toys r us will ship most things except the retro krang and foot soldier I wanted . Not sure what the deal is but if we had a proper distribution this wouldn't be an issue as we would just buy them here.

Where it is a target exclusive it is hard to say. If playmates cares that we don't have target here they may have it through another store but spin master may not even import it.

I refuse to ask either company cause last time I emailed Playmates about stuff coming out here they, without telling me, opened a customer service inquiry with spin master. Two weeks later I get an automated email from spin master saying they will look into my inquiry and I am scratching my head wondering what inquiry and then they get back to me and two days later saying my question is best answered by Playmates toys and included the link back to the playmates contact page. I just shook my head.

Fracking target! I hate those failing god forsaken good for nothing b@stards! Why did they even try to open up in Canada if they knew it wasn't going to work?

Any way it seems eBay is always our friend

[nellyp]

Tried intl.target.com again and now it seems they have the 5 pack available to be shipped to Canada but the shipping and import fees are about $27 US. Probably see if I can get an order over $100 cause they have a deal to get $20 off orders of $100 before shipping

lol order two then sell me one haha

any ways, i finally found Mikey Turflytle and Stockman-Fly yesterday

[nellyp]

Nice!! I haven't been to our good Walmart this week but still have yet to see stockman fly or turflytle.

[nellyp]

Finally saw the newest figures at both our good Walmart and our good Atlantic Superstore. The Walmart had karai and the rest of the turtle variants (mystic and head droppin') and the Superstore had all of them (it is just lately that they started getting recent stock so it is an untapped resource). At the time on Tuesday we weren't shopping for toys so had to hold off till today. My vintage TMNT toy buying on eBay kinda blew the toy budget till payday.

This morning I got up at 4:30 am (after my paycheque was direct deposited) and I hit up the superstore (which is open 24 hours) and got Baxter stockman-fly, karai, and turflytle for my oldest for Christmas. The prices weren't listed and When I was going through the self checkout was surprised to learn they were $15 each...damn! I may see if I can get another karai at Walmart since figures are $8 there right now and return the overpriced one cause you can almost get 2 figures at that price. Guess that is why it is an untapped resource.

I was surprise to see Karai tonight at Wal Mart. She was mixed with the mystic turtles, Baxter Stockman and Spiderbyte.

Mikey's Turflytle is also in that assortment but Baxter and turflytle seem to be only 1 per case while Karai seems to be 2.

[TheCanadiandrome]

All we seem to be missing is the frogs and the dream beaver

[nellyp]

The bad Walmart here just became the awesome Walmart! Dimension x turtles, fugitoid, monkey brains, Napoleon, and mondo gecko all spotted!

[silvertone]

That's awesome. Nothing at my Walmart yet but good to see things are arriving faster.

[nellyp]

Yeah it is. Where we were getting the Dimension X turtles I was hoping we would have also gotten Dregg and Mozar since they are Walmart exclusive but no spotting yet.

Feeling lucky that i was able to find them at my local Wal Mart so soon.
Was planning to go for a Seattle trip for the new TMNT

[TheCanadiandrome]

That's awesome nellyp! Makes me excited
