Oh those crazy Quebecois...

[pandaprime]

so we all accept that Canada usually receives toy stock later than the USA but does it seem like the time period is becoming longer?

[kirbenvost]

It does kinda seem that way... I wonder if TRU is also hesitant to order new stock because of all the Bumblebees.

[Badgertron]

It's the Reset Period, which happens every year at this time. We'll start to see stuff appear en masse within about a month, and probably some backlogged Prime stuff will show up in some locations along with the BH figures. No need to panic

Well I'm pretty much caught up on Prime except for AM Unicron, so I'm more concerned about FOC toys than anything else. I'm skipping most of BH so I only need to worry about MPs unless Generations continues beyond Wave 3 this year.

FOC wave 3 is being released in Japan this Sat. I am tempted to order Takara Starscream and Kickback instead of waiting for TRU or WM. If they do eventually come out at secondary discount stores than I can get them at cheap price for custom.

$40 for a deluxe is too rich for my blood... but I'm sorely tempted to pick up Takara Onslaught to be able to make FoC Bruticus actually appear decent when I finally get him.

Guys, I'm considering unloading all my Bot Shots. I have most of the G1-inspired ones released so far. If I can find someone willing to buy all or most of them, I'll bring them to Metrocon.

$40 is what importers charge you, plus HST. I order direct from Japan. Takara Delxue is about $25 (with nice paint app). With combined shipping with other stuff using SAL. It's no more that $30 after all and there should be no tax or duty on top of that.

[kirbenvost]

Where are you ordering from, Amiami?

[Darth Cylon]

HLJ.

Stock with Amiami had been a problem lately. Everything is sold out or back-ordered.
