Question 1:
Is there any way to let collectors know what upcoming waves have been ordered with trilingual packaging sooner so we don't have to run across the border, ask American friends for favours, or order these toys from online stores as soon as a wave of figures is released in the US?
We asked for this at snowtroopers.ca regarding star wars toys and they thought it was a good idea (see below for a truncated version of the Q&A). So asking them to do similar for Joe fans would be a great thing, and what better conduit than joecanuck.com!
Q) Is it possible to set up some kind of information feed that would
inform Canadian collectors of exactly what is coming to Canadian
retail? As things get finalized you could let us know. For example, if
a retailer steps up for the Scramble at yavin battle pack assortment,
you could let us know when this happens. Or once retailers place an
order for a certain wave, you could automatically confirm this for us.
This would save us from asking every Q&A "Is x vehicle or wave coming
to Canada"? It would also benefit retailers because we would then not
resort to ordering things from the US for fear of them never arriving
at retail here. It would basically act as product announcements like
Hasbro USA does when revealing new products, but be Canada specific.
A) That is a good idea for a list to advise Canadian collectors. We will
work that up and use it for periodic updates as different toys ship.
