Canada and TMNT toys

[skinny_puppy123]

ok i think we need a thread for Canadian collectors. These ninja turtles figs are coming soon enough to the big box store. Crappy stores like TOYS TOYS TOYS are ripping us off and charging $17 for one figure!!!

so where have people in Canada found the figs so far and what do u have?

I've seen the figs at ...

Silver Snail - They sold out in a week...they were $14-15 i believe.
TOYS TOYS TOYS in the eaton's Centre - All they have left are like 5 mikeys, 1 Raph, 1 shredder and 3 foot Soldier. $17


So far i have...
Don
Splinter
Foot Soldier

i couldnt bring myself to buying any from Toys Toys Toys

Yeah I bought 3 at SilverSnail. I called every single comic store in the GTA and out of all of them, the only ones who had them was Silver Snail and some other store in like Newmarket or something. SilverSnail sells out right away but they told me to come back every other thursday when they get new shipments, I just havent been in the area lately.

i did not know about Toys Toys Toys. Where is that? DO you think they still have them?
I am willing ot pay $17 for raph!!!!!!

TOYS TOYS TOYS is located in the 1st bottom level of the eaton's centre. rigth around a video game store and across from some juice place or something :)

Guys I bet you could find users on this forum that are willing to send you the new figs for much better prices than $17 a pop...

And I believe I saw a lot on eBay going for about $70 BIN.

Sorry for the repost...I wasn't clear in the one before...

It's a 7-piece lot of the new first wave of figures...$70 at Buy It Now which isn't that bad compared to $17 at Toys Toys Toys or whatever.

Hope that helped.

thanx for the info avervisal...im not that interested. the most i would pay for the figs is $14. but im sure it will interest other canadians as the figs just arent available anywhere except stupid rip off stores :evilgrin:

I was able to get the four turtles from ebay for $30! And the best thing was that it was from a Canadian seller! :D

But I need Splinter, Shredd and I'd like at least 5 Foot Soldiers (one for each of the turtles and one for Casey).

I live in calgary and I can't get them anywhere. :sick:

[skinny_puppy123]

i hope we start getting the figures soon!! because i need some figs to play with during the show :D

Hmm... There is a TOYS TOYS TOYS not far from my place...

can't let us canadian thread die :cry:

[Brodie]

I find this hilarious: There's actually a store in existance named SilverSnail? Who would name a store that?

[CoolWhip]

:P ya, it is pretty lame.

[Keno]

whats funny is when it showed up on my credit card billas "Silver snail cos" and my mom demanded to know why i had spent $40 at a cosmetic store
i was like "COMICS!!!!!!"

[CoolWhip]

:D Jubb's Toy's is a bad name too.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to go anywhere near Jubb's toys.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Wow, They're really ripping you Canadians off.

[Kaejae]

It's the currency exchange, $40 Canadian is equal to $26.66 American ^^

:o :o
Wow, I had no idea it was that big of a difference... I knew it was big but that's ALMOST 20 dollars

It's more like a 1 dollar US = $1.50 Canadian deal when you think of it. But when you start comparing 40 bucks to $26, then it becomes too big a difference. :wink:

[CoolWhip]

Ya, it's total BS.
So unfair :cry: :cry:

[Stone Ill]

It just SOUNDS unfair..But in all reality, it is fair..but why can't they just make it worth the same..everything is so damn confusing..I thought that now that it's almost May and about 10-11 episodes have aired, that we'd get the toys or atleast the cards..But noooo...This sucks. I've been saving $20 for about 4 months..I just want atleast 1 figure, and that's Mike. I might get giant Leo because it looks cool.

i was in WAL MART today and i saw the toys! i was in the one near Sherway
I got Raphael :) i tihnk he was the last one. but yah, i was very happy!! :D
