Canadian sightings of wave six?

[Tony_Clifton]

I am dying to get my hands on these....anyone in canada see em anywhere?

thx

[countblah]

no. But I'm glad we have this thread, because honestly, I think it'll take quite a bit longer to get here than to the states.

Wal-Mart's open 24 hours a day now, although the Heroscape stuff is still pathetically thin on the ground.

[Ketch]

Kitchener-Waterloo does not have them yet.
I've checked two hobby stores (J&Js and Nexus who still carries no HS).
Toys-R-Us has none (it is better to ask JAZZ about this, he used to work at the Fairview road Toys-R-Us and has connections), both Wallmarts, and both Zellers do not carry them yet either.

So they *could* be at some other store, but I have't seen anyone else carrying them yet.

I just got home and I think my Wave Six from HouseMouse is here. At least I got a notice to go get a parcel at teh Post Office. :D

[Madd_Mugsy]

My 14 packs (2 uniques, 4 of each common) from HouseMouse should be arriving by the end of the week, if Canada Post runs as slowly as last time...

Not sure where you're located, but I don't expect to see wave six in stores for another few months here in BC, if at all... We saw barely any wave 2 and 4 in my area, but lots of 3 and 5. Looks like we're only getting the odd waves :(

Anyway, if you buy a whole bunch at once from HouseMouse, it's only like $30 more (including shipping) than buying from a local TRU, and you don't need to wait or go hunting for copies.

[countblah]

Bixby's are in town.

Do they carry HS in Zellers at all? I didn't know that.

I haven't been to TRU or WM near here though I could have ('bout a 5 min walk to TRU, 3 to WM). I've been busy..

Anyways, my best bet would be that they don't have any. They're usually slow with everything.

The best place to buy Heroscape merchandise in Canada:

www.housemousegames.com

I have yet to see a Canadian store that carried all the expansions. In addition, Sandra Lock's (the owner) customer service is second to none. Finally, from my limited contact with her, she seems sexy as heck! Anyway, fellow Canucks, buy everything you need at housemousegames.com.

Hrmph...was that really necessary?

I second that. You'll only need to wait about a week, and the prices are very close to what you'd pay in Canadian stores (plus shipping, of course). Service is excellent, and the selection is unrivaled. All we have at our local Wal-Mart is Master Sets and Wave5, upon Wave5, upon Wave5... You get the idea. PLUS, she's one of the only people who'll actually ship into the great-white north. :wink:

[Faartknocker]

Sev_, being sexy is never necessary, just cool. If you're neither, don't begrudge compliments to others who are deemed to be so by their admirers. If you don't like my complimenting style, that's another issue. I really don't care in that case. Cheers!

I've purchased a wave from HouseMouse before and found that the shipping combined with duty charges make it too expensive. Then I asked my sister, who lives in california, to start hunting for expansions for me and shipping them, specifying only $5 value... avoids the duty charge. Also, she could select cheaper shipping. But now for wave 6 I think I will wait until it appears locally.

[HS ~ KNT]

Minnor update for South Ontario peoples, the TRU in Kingston, (Midland Ave., beside Loblaws) doesn't have any Wave six, but one Raknar's Vision Hero Pack, one 1st eddt. MS (I took one of the two) a Robo-rat/WoA pack, and 3 2nd eddt. MS. As of yesterday.

[Ketch]

Wave 6 not in Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge

If you're looking for first edition, the two Walmarts in KW Ontario have 20 Master Sets each as of Boxing day.

Note, this thread is longer and has more info here:

[Tony_Clifton]

where?

[Niner]

Zellers is supposed to carry HS but they never recieved them at my location. I almost flipped when I saw the flyer where they were advertising HS and we called every day to see if they got it in! Basically I like in a hick city and we have a Zellers and a Wal Mart... Wal Mart just started selling it, but they only seem to be getting Wave 5 in. They did have RV and they have a few MS there but besides that nothing yet! I wanna get some skus and a few "proxy players" in friends so they may think there is a demand for it here besides me and the one person who bought a MS and there are 2 RV's missing!

[HS ~ KNT]

Well, another small update. But not the good kind.

No wave six round here. Not in Wal-mart (only MS's) or TRU.

[Bixby]

Hello fellow Canucks...

Here is my plug for you to update your profile to add your location. It would be good to geta sense of where scapers are in Canada for possible event planning or bulk purchasing....

Remember format is as follows:

Last time I was in J&J they had several castle sets and at least one tundra.

Talked to people at TRU who said that HS stuff always goes out within a day. (Frown at JAZZ)

Walmart has a few master sets and seems to put out one wave 5 set at a time.

[Giark]

At one point, J&J used to offer discount cards for clubs. Any chance we have enough people in the area to start a HS club and avail ourselves of said discount (if he still does it)?

I have myself and two others interested already.

[Giark]

J&J in Waterloo has wave 6 in! All four figure packs and quite a few castle sets still as well.

So, Tyr has the full wave 6; I just grabbed the shades and zombies.

[countblah]

It would appear as though Zellers and Wal Mart have really slacked off in their carrying of Heroscape. THey got some stuff in for Christmas, and then never bothered ever again. Sad, really.

[Hillman]

I live in Kanata (or Ottawa, I suppose) and the local Wal-Mart at Centrum has a pile of Master Sets and a handful of Wave 5. The 2 local TRUs are sucking wind as of late; they have nothing.

Who's to blame? Why is it so difficult to find this product? Is it Hasbro's fault? Is it the retailers?

There is a comic book shop on Merivale that carries some odds and ends, but prices are high. However, they were the only place to have Wave 6 and now Wave 6 is gone.

I will not buy online.

I have not seen HS at Zellers, yet. I wish, though I am quickly losing patience and interest.

Hillman, I feel you. It's been much the same for a long time here in Regina, too. I have still never seen a gladiatron booster pack in the flesh, much less anything from wave six. Every store just has tons of the Nakita agents.

Boo.

[Hillman]

Hate Games Workshop as much as you like ( and I DO), at least they insist on retailers stocking a minimum amount.

Why make a product if you can't supply the d@#n thing?

[Ketch]

I am goin there today.. you guys better not have bought them all!
haha

I'll say this much. Hasbro's distribution has improved over the course of Heroscape Existing, but not too much. Now we're just one wave behind, instead of, like, three.

[Hillman]

And that depends where you live, of course. But hey, I'm the nation's capital and doesn't Hasbro have a major facility down the road in Quebec? So where the *&*^#@! is all the product? :P

You are confused. Tyr is the buying maniac. I only picked up one set of shades. :shock:

Went back and grabbed a castle yesterday. Now if my volcarren set would get here, I would be one away from having all the terrain sets.

[Ketch]

J&J Cards and Collectibles
Its on Weber Street in Waterloo by the universities

It would be a far drive for you haha
definately my favourite store.

I've been going there since I was 12 in 1996

[Hillman]

The expansion I really crave, is RTTFF. I have one, but there are too many scenarios I want to build calling for two or more.

How many do you have and where did you get them?

[Ketch]

Toys R Us in Kitchener had a lot,
J&Js gets them every once in a while.

I have 1, but I have 2 castles which gives me a TONNE of roads.
Only thing I don't have a lot of is trees

[Giark]

That's the one I'm missing. I may have to order it online and I hate that.

So, if the Forgotten Forest shows up in KW, somebody please let me know.

It's the last terrain pack that I need and I NEEEEEEED it! :)

[Giark]

Custom figures currently in transit.

[Ketch]

Was just at J&Js,
It looks like they have 3 full sets of Wave 2, 2 sets of Wave 4 and 5 and a bunch of wave 6!
I had to leave right away, so I couldn't grab anything.

[Giark]

Hobby and Game Central, out near Sportsworld, has some stuff in. A lot of the large figure packs, a bit of wave 5 and a master set. A castle or two as well.

[Tony_Clifton]

its driving me nuts that i haven't seen the new wave yet

[Ketch]

J&Js can't sell all their wave 6 currently.

Come to Ontario, March 17th... or so.. :P
Then since you're in the area stop by at the tournament!

[countblah]

Okay, so has anyone seen wave 6 at anything but a hobby shoppe? At a chain? I'm dyin' ovah heah.

[MrBishop]

Atmospro mentioned that he saw some some Wave 6 in a Toys R Us just outside of Toronto. Anyone else see anything in Canada yet? It is getting annoying going back and forth to Toys R Us with no results. Good news is they now have lava north of the border.

Maybe it is time to hit HouseMouse again!

[Obsidian3d]

I got all of wave six here in Calgary almost a month ago. I found a full set of four in both the Sunridge and Southland Toys R Us stores. I only picked up a second set of the zombies, although I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have grabbed the second set of ghouls too...but I left them for someone else. :)
