Doubt this will happen in time for Christmas now, but her birthday's not far off lol

I use Reship sometimes to get Neca convention exclusives that don't ship to Canada.
Reship however is very expensive.

Ah, I'll keep that in mind as an option at least.

I saw on a3u's web site mention a new store location, "regent street". Anyone know where that is? Or what city? I did an internet search and got London England.

My guess is in Richmond but the street is mostly residential and the one in Burnaby is mostly industrial.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat
Man, I just opened Legacy Armada Starscream, and I can say as someone who owns the Thrilling 30 deluxe, it is not worth it. Sure, the articulation is maybe a little better, but the plastic just feels so cheap.
I usually feel like it's hyperbole when people complain about dollar-store quality but this really does feel like that or a model kit or something, not a figure meant to be transformed repeatedly, and especially for children. Feels brittle and flimsy, like it would shatter if it fell off the shelf. Hasbro's usual soft plastic in crucial spots seems entirely absent here.
Ironically there's nothing wrong with it out of the package other than being a little loose in some of the joints which are all pins, but it doesn't have the usual QC flaws or instantly broken bits...YET.
Anyways, I don't normally complain about figures, but I figure if someone's on the fence about it, I'd steer clear unless you're a completionist or don't have any other representation of the character in your collection. Or maybe if it's deeply-discounted.
Looks cool, pretty good details and some decent updates to the design, but yikes. Even the cheapest of the old scout and legends class figures feel better than this.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat
Does anyone else keep losing the foot fillers for their (Red) Cog? I drop the thing a few times because the torso peg is loose and that foot filler darts off more often than not. I don't even realize it's missing most of the time until well after.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat
Thanks for the info, i was a little on the fence. I like that he is voyager size, but other than that I'll stick with my T30.

Anyone else wondering who is going to take up TF comics in the new year? I haven't seen any news about it yet.
