Walmart US Exclusives. Are they exclusives in Canada too?

Hasbro distribution logic, especially in Canada, confuse the heck out of me. So the big question now sits is this, how does this translate to Canada? Do they still become exclusives when they come up here, or does it just end up at whatever retailer gets a hold of them?



The whole exclusives fiasco on Walmart's US site has me a bit... Concerned

Re: Walmart US Exclusives. Are they exclusives in Canada too?

It is hit or miss for the Walmart exclusives. Sometimes we get them sometimes we don't. Some individual Walmart stores don't order if they have too much old stock on shelf. None of the stores in my area got the 35th anniversary figures last year. Walmart's US site won't ship to Canada and there is no guarantee the toys will show up in stores. I ended up ordering a Netflix Bumblebee off of Robotkingdom today because of this. I hate exclusives in general and will not collect other toy lines because of them. I am concerned too as this is frustrating when you try to collect them all.

Yeah, chances of we get the Walmart exclusives are good but I don’t want to take a chance. Ordered the new Earthrise Soundwave and Bee at RK too.

Target Exclusives are even more elusive. We got everything from last year but we still haven’t seen the ER Thundercracker + Skywarp.

All Exclusives worry me. Means I have to pay a mortgage on ebay.

Really? You wouldn't by any chance have the link (it's not showing up when searching)?
