Gahhhhhh! Can one of our US members PM me and hook me up? I still need the ROCC, Ice saber and Hiss Tank. Probably some other things as well but that's all I can think of right now.

Used our local card with a relative through marriage's address in states and payment was processed.  This was a year and a half ago.

Almost started a family feud in overstepping the favour boundary.

I always use my card and someone else's address - whatever kindly American I can beg into assisting me. I've not had any trouble yet.

HTS cancelled my order because my credit card billing address is not in the US. Nowhere on anything does it say that they won't bill canada, only that they won't ship to Canada.

My American friends were willing to help me out by providing a shipping address, but Hasbro is unwilling to accept money from anywhere but the US, even if the goods are being shipped to the US.

They've pissed me off. If they further snub Canada by making the 25th stuff unavailable up here, I'm done. Fuck them.  I like the toys, but if the company doesn't want to deal with my country, I don't want to deal with them.

What? That is stupid. I'm still going to give it a try and see what happens. I just can't believe Hasbro would rather take a loss on this old stock and sell it for dirt cheap instead of shipping it to some Canadian stores. There isn't that much difference in the Canadian/ US dollar right now and how hard is it to print up some stickers with french on it and slap them on the box?

As for the 25th stuff not coming up here, where did you read that? I was wondering if we were getting screwed yet again or not.

No news on the 25th from Hasbro, but the dude who stocks toys at the local Zellers says that he's getting a lot of big shipments from Hasbro over the next month or so.

I assume these are transformers movie stuff, but they are getting a lot of new stock in.... I bet that there WM and TRU are going to be the only non-hobby stores to look at.

We'll know soon enough.

The patriot in me applauds your stance.  I've "man-cotted" businesses before but the Hasbro snub is huge.
We'll see what happens.  ???
(and I assumed we wouldn't get the 25th stuff - but it was pure assumption)

:chicken: Maybe I'll call my credit card co and see if they took my money.  Once they take my cash I'm golden.  :)

I hope so.  I called today as my order says "NOT SHIPPED" in red - which can't be a good thing.  But the very rude American phone lady (unless their call centre is overseas) assured me that the order was sent to their warehouse.  I'll have faith when the order is sent FROM their warehouse.  ??? Maybe I'll call my credit card co and see if they took my money.  Once they take my cash I'm golden.  :)

My last order from Hasbro took a while, and I live in the states.  Most of the wait was my order sitting in the warehouse, waiting to go through their shipping order system.
