Canada is getting very far behind in releases...is this a bad sign?
Normally I wouldn't be too concerned, but with the economy the way it is and lots of stock on the shelves, I'm becoming concerned we won't see all the releases on "status list".
Is this a valid concern? In previous lines (Energon, Alternators, etc.) it has not been uncommon for Canada to miss out on specific releases...especially towards the end of the line. Are we seeing a repeat here?
I want to know when I need to get this stuff from US. I do not want to miss out on all these great toys that should have been in hand months ago...

....it's not Hasbro's fault, they can't force retailers to restock their shelves and order certain product more then others.

I think it's more toys stores fault: big restock before Christmas --> lot of that stock after Christmas (sales are slower and also, lot of people allready own those TFs)--> not enough place on shelves for new stock -->lower chances for new orders to be placed for it --> new Head line of the year will take the space.The problem is less common in stores where stock rotation is better. I'm not an expert on the subject, but my observation seems to fit with that supposition.

Re: Canada is getting very far behind in releases...is this a bad sign?
I was in the 'States last week for my winter break, and Animated Swindle and Blazing Lockdown were out over there. Hopefully, they'll come up here soon enough, if they haven't already. I'm waiting for Waspinator, Arcee and Electrostatic Soundwave myself, and I really hope I don't get stiffed.
Even if they don't release them up here, hopefully I'll be able to find them at TF Con.
