General Joe Talk / Re: Tomahawk listed on Toys R Us.com; out in Canadian Target stores as well

A friend told me the eaglehawk is now in the TRU system. Hopefully they will show up before x-mas.
Red and white once again! We've restored the classic look of JoeCanuck.
Has there been any word confirming whether or not this is coming to Canadian retail? I don't remember hearing anything beyond speculation. Anyone know?My source working at TRU tells me there's nothing in the computer for GIJOE. No open/pending orders AT ALL.
That extends for the next couple of months ahead, and it's anyone's guess if the Christmas inventory will have any Joe product at all.
The best bet for Canada: Target stores.
Canada Customs allows a personal exemption of about approx. $40-$50 for imported item via mail. There is NO duty on action figures/toys.Actually, in addition to the HST (or appropriate tax in your province), there is a handling fee (not duty). It used to be around $5 only a few years ago, and it was $8.50 until last August, and it is now $9.95!
If you have to pay a fee, its for GST/PST on the total value of the shipment including the shipping costs. The total amount shouldn't be more than about 15%, or $15 of $100 value.
Customs does not always assign this fee, and they are less likely to if the import is, say, just 2 or 3 carded figures. You are more likely to see the added fee if the items are very expensive or if its a case of figures because the oft-assumption is that the items may be for re-sale.
If you use a courier, you'll very likely get assigned brokerage fees, for the intermediary at the border who "handles" and "guarantees" the package for Customs, to allow it into the country. Usually the brokers fee doesn't even appear itself until later, when you receive the separate bill for it, but it can be reflected on the parcel when it arrives and , I believe, is calculated into the value for declaration which can bump up the amount that much more.
Wrong set He was referring to this one with FIREfly, not the DRAGONfly. And it's even more affordable at $13.Oh and the law and order firefly set is cool and affordable. Its priced around 18$ I think
Not $18, it's $25 + tx... http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=17478486
