I don't know if this has been asked, but I'd like to know if the resolute wave of single figures and comic packs will be appearing at retail here in Canada. If they don't appear in the next few weeks, perhaps someone can ask that.

I know for me one of the hilites of last years con was chatting with the hasbro rep for probably 15 minutes or so. He was extremely informative and very friendly. Was able to talk to him about star wars stuff as well, which was great.

Oh and rather than asking when/if hasbro toy shop will ship to canada, maybe ask them why they don't. Not that it really matters at this point. I'm sure I asked last year, but don't remember what the rep said.

Quote from: "THE Mike?"
G.I. Joe has very little to do with why they haven't shipped here.

You can't get ANYTHING from the HTS site up here. Period.

I would LOVE to order things from there. But I don't because I refuse to pay double shipping - one to a U.S. friend, the other to me from him. It's pathetic. I'm done asking Hasbro about this as they obviously don't care enough to want our money.

You would think with the recession being what it is in the U.S. right now they would welcome outside money from another country.

THANK YOU!!!!  I highlighted my exact sentiments. 

I've been very vocal about not wasting our time with HTS questions anymore. 

As for what to ask....let me think about it.

Quote from: "morgardee"
Why does Hasbro choose to sell off stock for pennies when they could easily move the older stock to Canadian stores like Zellers or Winners and make more profit?

I don't think we should presume to know what can be done easily and what would make a profit. Out of respect for these people, let's not take the work they do for granted.

Thanks Scramble, you reminded me of a question:

Can you give us some information on the process, or reasoning behind the wave 1 (vehicle) release in Canada?

Can you also elaborate on what, if any, accountability there has been for the decision and if anything has been done to try and prevent similar decisions for the future?

-Are we getting the PITT playset and Night Raven in Canada? When are the movie items going on sale in Canada? Why are the movie figures shorter than the 25th line?
-Why is Duke played by a guy who's really young and jock-looking? Shouldn't he be older and wiser?
-When will the new 7 packs be available?
-Will there be a sequel to Resolute, or is it just one show?
-Are we ever going to get vehicle waves 2 and up or the new 12" figures?
-What are the exclusive(s) for the SDCC this year going to be?
-Are there any plans for celebrity Joes like the Fridge or Sgt Slaughter in 25th style? Why not ask Stallone again?
-Will there be a non fuggle-head version of Cover Girl?
-Will I ever be able to use up the rest of my Flagg points? I still have lots.
-If Destro is a pimp sometimes, when can we expect "Gangsta Bitch Baroness"?

How about the Wal-Mart ROC 2 packs as well - are they coming to Canada?
