I wouldn't hold your breath either. When HTS first started, I asked one of the marketing managers (Greg Lombardi?) at Botcon about Canada and got the same response. "We are working on it"
It seems like a nice idea, but I really don't think it will happen. I don't know if it is just the same weird attitude about shipping to Canada that other US corporations and Ebay sellers have, or if it is just a lack of caring.
Either way, it has become a joke. If companies like L.L. Bean can ship to Canada, it shouldn't be a stretch to believe a much bigger company like Hasbro could as well. Then again, hearing the horror stories of how items are shipped, I don't know if it is a blessing or not that we don't have the option to order.
