Just to let everyone know, Toys Toys Toys in Square One mall in Mississauga still has Spy troop 2 packs for 5.99 I was there on friday afternoon. Picked up 2 more beach head and Cobra sand viper packs to complete my cobra sand viper army to 8. Now all I have to do is sell off 8 of my beach heads.....anyone want custom fodder. If you take beach heads head off and put it on cross hairs, you get a wicked looking sniper. even put crosshairs booney hat on top to make him look even more awesome!

Any chance of you getting any other spy troops stuff Mike. There's a lot of wave 6-7-8 that i'd love to get my hands on.

I've given up on Hasbro Canada.

Star Wars, Joe.... both.
The U.S. supplier I was going to use for Joe has been crap lately - even my Star Wars stuff is getting late.

However, Wrestling..... now I can get anything I want all day long!

WHY can't I get two toy lines to do the right thing at once?

Because we dont live in a bubble where everything is perfect and toy company's actually want to distribute there goods to consumers in a timely fashion.

But I dont think it's all the fault of Hasbro, I think it has to do more with distribution from third partys. That's always been a problem in Canada with toys and everything else.

It's Hasbro...... trust me.
I CAN get Hasbro products from distributors..... just not Hasbro direct.
Something about HAVING To take all waves and such.... at about 1200 units a year. (100 cases a month).

That's totally rediculous.  They'd probably sell MORE toys if they lowered their buying quotas.

I've tried explaining that to them...... I've even tried telling them that if I start off smaller, who knows - perhaps I'd be able to order 100 cases a month.

What I need to do is what some other shops around here do - 'go in on it' with another store or stores.

Sadly, no other stores are willing to do it for Joe items.
