Chap Mei?
« on: June 08, 2006, 12:02:43 PM »

I'm just curious... has anyone ever been able to find some Chap Mei vehicles in the Montreal area? I can never find any, all I find are a small handful of figures.
I'm getting kind of tired of having to shop online whenever I want my Chap Mei vehicle fix.

In Quebec? Sorry, I have no idea. InOntario, Chap Mei stuff can easily be found at Zellers.

Last time I made a round to Toys R Us was like a year or so ago and I remember them having a TON of those gun boats otherwise there was nothing. I don't even bother checking Toys R us anymore because of their lack of Joe/Chapmei selection and rediculous prices. Talk about price skimming. I think they were selling the green Kamakura bikes for $12 each. Enough said.

yeah "gun boats" I don't remember the exact name of the thing but it was a greenish military boat and the Toys R us had a virtual wall of them in their action figure section at one point.

Lachine Mall?
There are three TRUs I've checked recently: The one at Carrefour Angrignon, the one in Brossard and the one in Anjou, and none had any Chap Mei vehicles... Only Joe-scale vehicles I saw were incredibly low-quality hovercrafts and out-of-scale troop transport trucks.

By the way, any chance you can make your avatar smaller so it doesn't stretch out the column so much?

Well looks like somoene fixed my avatar problem. Thks. Sorry I think it was Angrignon. If you didnt see any boats then their all gone I guess. The last time I was there was last year so I guess their whole stock changed since then. Makes me wander what happened to all those boats.

the only thing remotely close to a Chap Mei gunboat I've seen there recently is one of those ?ber-cheap hovercrafts.

Is that what you were talking about?
