You were lucky to get the trooper. I'm sort of kicking myself for not ordering the wave 1 figures when they first came out in the US. I'm starting to think they will be skipped in Canada and now it's going to be hard to find them.

Hopefully Hasbro will get their act together and produce these in much greater quantities (including wave 1). I bought wave one on ebay (minus Flint) for just under $40 Canadian, shipped which is still cheaper than the Toys R Us price. Still, it was cool to find the one lonely peg there at TRU with the bunch of 25th figures it had.

It figures they would show up after I bought them online. The crazy thing is that they're basically the same price when shipped from the states. It's hard to believe that Hasbro would price them so high in Canada. I wonder if they will ever ship to the point where they will be widely available. At this point it doesn't look that way.

Hmm...though their prices are fair, with the dollar where it is it's probably worth it just to buy them on ebay or those online American toy stores. For a few dollars more you can have them shipped to your house without worrying about missing one or two of them. Of course it takes all the fun out of the hunt, but when you can only hunt at one or two stores it's not all that fun anyway. With my luck, I will buy them all online only to see tons of them on the pegs at Toys R Us later in the year...

For those of you interested in shopping from Toys R Us, the five packs have finally been listed online. Though it says they are "temporarily unavailable" it may be worth checking back. As far as  I know the Toys R Us near my place never even received the 5 packs (unless they were sniped by employees out of the case) so it has been a pain trying to find them.
