In relation to that, here is the first question!
"How much did you spend on USA store exclusives in that last 12 months?"
Once again this data will be sent back to Hasbro, and then on to the Canadian retailers to show them the sales they are missing out on!.
Please don't forget to vote in the other question as well!

For example, I placed my vote for "$100 to $200"
I purchased:
Toys R Us Night Watch 5 Pack
Toys R Us Red Ninja 5 Pack
Toys R Us Senior Ranking Officer 3 packs (3 of them)
Target AWE Striker
Target HISS
Target Night Specter
-
Easily more than $100.
I pick up all of the Target and TRU items from the past 6 months, as well I am planning on physically crossing the boarder to add on some more Army Building figures and hopefully 1 or 2 more HISS from Target.

I've changed the "more than $100" option to "$100 to $200" and added a "more than $200" option.
Thanks, and please vote!

I spent $0. But I think you need a follow up question asking what you would have spent if they were available here. I would have bought the Grand Slam/Sharc thing for GS and the AWE Striker if I could have gotten them for retail here in Canada. And maybe the Joe officers pack, but it's hard to justify buying 3 figures just to get Grunt. I hate multi-packs with one new figure.

Well over 200$ and that doesn't even include the shipping costs! I'd happily spend that shipping money on more product if I could find it locally.

I spend over 200$ and i would like to army build HISS tank but the shipping kill me.
-
$100-$200, all picked up at JoeMeet.

$200+ in 12 months, easy.
-
Easily spent over $100 less than $200 in the last year on Hasbro products that I can not find here in Canada.
-
I picked nothing as I wasn't able to get down to the states yet, however I also agree that there should be a follow up question asking how much you would have spent if availible in Canada. If in Canada I would have picked up multiples of each so probably $100-200 as most of the people I know want these too.

I go once a year south into North Dakota to basically pick up around $100 worth of stuff which is anything I can't find in Canada. I'd probably spend more if I wasn't also partying hard that weekend.
-
More than $200 as I purchased multiples of all of the TRU and Target exclusives. It takes a considerable amount of time to comparison shop online and the shipping fees are high. If I could find the products in stores locally I would spend at least the shipping fees on additional product, if not more.
-
I usually like to add more to the order to save on shipping.
I also don't like the Canadian packaging. I like the the US packaging, so I order those instead.
If the Canadian packaging was exactly like the US,( ie with the English only file card on the back with the proper card art on the front) and it included the the french version of text on a piece of paper inside the packaging, then I would buy from Canada if it was avail.

I think another good question is: How much have you spent on US Joes because of supply? In the past 2-3 weeks alone I have bought 45 Vipers, 20 Crimson Guards, 15 Python Officers. That's just army builders. That doesn't include named figures of which I have bought 2 waves (7/8).
If they were readily available in Canada, I would have bought them here.
