Flag Bearers in Canada!!

[Eirikr]

I got all 5 at TRU on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa back in early July. There were still 2 or 3 on the shelf last week when I was there but check the seal on the box one looked tampered with. They've got a few Lava and Tundra sets left too.

This is good news. Looks like I will be able to get my hands on them finally.

I posted about two weeks ago that the flagbearers had appeared in TRUs here in Calgary, AB.

I too found 2 sets of 4/5 Flag Bearers (No Vydar ) at a TRU while on vacation last weekend. Unfortunatly I was only able to get Jandar's cause I wasn't a fan of the 15$ price

I paid a little more than they are now a while back to get the online...shortly after Christmas or early spring I think? I honestly can't remember. The problem with the TRU exclusives is that they're always a gamble. Oftentimes they do eventually show up in Canada, so it can make sense to wait. Once in a while however, we get skipped completely. I was willing to pay the little extra to get them, rather than missing them. I recommend picking them up if you can afford them. They're pretty nice, even if I doubt I'll ever use the special dice.

I was just at a TRU in Pickering and the had about 10 Sir Gilberts & Ornaks as well as a couple Laglors and Hatamotos (no Acolahrs). Unfortunately, I had no cash otherwise I would have bought them.

I've probably already mentioned that they're out in force in Regina, SK, but if I haven't...well, they are.

Hey does anyone live in Alberta,Edmonton? Being a scaper in Canada isn't so great. Master sets are 50.00$. Booster are 15.00$. Large hero packs are 30.00$. It's a cruel world.

As far as I know there have only been 2 TRU exclusives, The Flag Bearers and The Lava set, both of which are available in Canada. Am I missing something?

Plus GST & PST (oh wait, you don't have PST -- the world's not so cruel to you ).

@Eirikr:

No, those are the only two. It's just that Canadian TRU's doesn't always stock the exclusives that are released in the States in general. ie: Various transformer exclusives and other toys are US only. Sometimes they make it north of the border, sometimes they don't.

Mugsy has the right of it. While we have received both of the HS exclusive items at Canadian TRUs, I never count on them arriving, simply because of the track record of other stuff (like TFs). Besides, with the good exchange rate now, it's almost cheaper to order stuff online. I know I wish I had bought my Marvel set that way. $50 is outrageous for what you get.

[Eirikr]

Where do you order stuff online. I have found the prices to be as high or higher than the Canadian stores and the shipping to Canada really high, HouseMouseGames charges a minimum of $30 shipping and that's for one figure pack!
