Online stores for Canadians

[supafly]

When I started collecting a few months ago, my biggest time sink was finding online stores that had my figure in stock at a decent price. Through my research, I saw people asking the same question alllll the time. Where oh where can I find such or such figure! Welp, here's my personal list that I hope will save someone somewhere time, and will get people a chance to find that elusive piece.

I'm not promoting any of these, it's just a list I have for my own reference that I would have loved to get when I started out. If mods feel that it's inappropriate to list a bunch of stores, by all means, remove the post!

**By the way, cybertron.ca is by far the best place to get good deals!

My list is on the right.
Notably, Toy Trove, MadHaus, Automaton, and Ages3+Up.
I have no real need for others.

If these are out of stock, you will just not get a figure you want? If so, that's loyalty to the hilt!

Loyalty... And I figure it's a sign that I'm not supposed to spend the money :p

Been dealing with Automatontoys and HLJ for a long time. Occasionally BBTS for things my comic shop nor TRU bring in like certain Neca figures.
Not of fan of Automatontoys USD thing that seems to be the tread with Canadian online retailers, but it hasn't swayed me from them either. Still happier to deal with them to avoid customs and have cheaper shipping rates.

To shyme in with an opinion. what I like is that you can call The Toy Trove on the phone. Super helpful and friendly staff. And the owner Todd replied to my emails promptly too.
