Re: Chances of Metroplex in Canadian Costcos?

Glad I'm a member for my business.

Costco has been pretty good at getting in toys, especially larger ones (remember the Star Wars AT-TE for $50), so if the US is getting it, then hopefully so will Canada.

Either way I'm not too worried. The simple fact is that Metroplex isn't a store exclusive and we know multiple chains will be carrying him for Christmas. That leads me to believe that there will be more than enough floating around for less than original retail to be bought.

Are u sure about Walmart having the regular bee? I remember buying the gold chrome version from Walmart for $20.

What did I say back in August?

They had those giant The Dark Knight Batman figure last year, and a giant panda not long ago. How crazy it would look if you walk into Costco and there's a pallet full of Metroplex at some major discount price?

Anyone here work at Costco and care to check?

Re: Chances of Metroplex in Canadian Costcos?

So, who in the GTA is a Costco member and wants to organize a group buy when the time comes?
