If I find another, I will let you know. Pribkem is shipoing will be like 40 USD
40USD?! Damn, I thought Small Packet from Canada to Australia was cheaper. Canada Post shipping estimates lying to me again... @ ~ @
This wont be small packet, its a big box. What did canada post say?

Then for DOUBLE the previous price, you get tracking and insurance, but it's still snail mail.
Double again, and it's finally air mail.
Now add the covid restrictions on top and the fact that the GESTAPO may prevent your package for ever reaching your local post office and it's a recipe for disaster.
Individuals get really screwed over with postage fees compared to stores.

For years before that announcement, I was seeing shelves that were nearly empty, and the products that they did have, were usually piled on shelves with little to no organisation. The U.S. stores were poorly run, and the employees' wages were laughableo.supreme wrote:I don't recall TRU having inventory issues until it was made public that stores were closing
I agree with you about online shopping, but I like the brick & mortar stores, due to the hunt and reward of finding new characters in the store.. buying them online is generally more reliable, but not as rewardingcloudballoon wrote:I given up toy hunting in brick & mortar stores about 4 years ago.

While it is nice that my local Walmarts are starting to get some toys finally, The pics of that one TRU easily equate to more than any 10 Walmarts or Targets in my area. Also, I know we've discussed quality vs quantity before, but that seems to be a good mix of product from all lines. I'd be blown away to see anything close to that in my area ever again.

I live in the biggest suburb (Markham) of the biggest city (Toronto) in Canada. And the Walmarts & TRU around my area is not that much different from this photo for TFs. The WM & TRU in the biggest Mall in the area both dedicate about 1 pane (3-4 feet?) wide for TF only. They scaled back the TF section since around AoE and has been ever sadder since. I given up toy hunting in brick & mortar stores about 4 years ago. It's much more assured to get what I want online.
TRU Canada's website absolutely sucks at listing new items. Walmart.ca's prices are mostly ridiculous and scalpers' paradise. I'm now mostly forced to order sing Amazon.ca & GameStop if I want to get anything that's new.

You should go to Brampton. They have a lovely toysrus there with a nice solid Transformers section. I like going there since there's also a value village near by that always seems to have fun stuff. Found a Cybertron Scourge last time.
Also, don't know what you mean about Walmart prices. If it's a thrd party, then sure it's the same as Amazon's third party BS. But you can just filter it out and get the good stuff at the right prices. Walmart.ca is where I bought all the Kingdom deluxes I never found in stores.
a real smorgasbord for anyone who grew up in the 80s or 90s.

Writer forgot that these toys are intended for people that grow up NOW.
