Hey guys,
Hasbrotoyshop had said they'd start shipping up north to us in Spring 2008....it is now Fall 2008. I haven't been following joe news too closely lately and was wondering if anyone had any info on this.
thanks

I wouldn't hold your breath either. When HTS first started, I asked one of the marketing managers (Greg Lombardi?) at Botcon about Canada and got the same response. "We are working on it"
It seems like a nice idea, but I really don't think it will happen. I don't know if it is just the same weird attitude about shipping to Canada that other US corporations and Ebay sellers have, or if it is just a lack of caring.
Either way, it has become a joke. If companies like L.L. Bean can ship to Canada, it shouldn't be a stretch to believe a much bigger company like Hasbro could as well. Then again, hearing the horror stories of how items are shipped, I don't know if it is a blessing or not that we don't have the option to order.

Let me guess. Some date in the future, but nothing specific that can be put on a calendar?

You know, there's a Hasbro Warehouse in Montreal... if, at the very least, they could keep a stock of product there and any orders to Canada simply ship out of that centre. When they're out, they post a message on each item's checkout saying "not available for Canadian Addresses". Doubly, Montreal is a entry point for Canadian Customs... it wouldn't be hard for them to re-stock, sitting so close to Customs.
I think it's very possible, they're just dragging their heels.

10 years ago, ( and it might have been 13+) I tried to order some 12" Action Man sets from Hasbro--and was frustrated because they would not ship to Canada.
The response from them was they would be offering shipment north either "soon" or "next year"--and every time the question was made the answer was the above, and coupled with a "we are working on it".
That was , as I said, 10 years ago.
I've given up on them. They are not working on it and they are not interested in doing so.
If it happens...........if...........I'd be VERY surprised.
