Well it's official now, the Storm Shadow Unmasked will NOT be shipped to Canadians like the Agent Faces exclusive figure was.
I got my rejection notice today in the mail, along with all my returned battle points and Money Order. I guess we as Canucks do not rate a big buyer market for the Hasbro execs, point being the recent change over to online ordering for the new figures available to the US only as well.
It sucks considering one of the longtime ordering plants happened to be in Quebec as far back as I can remember!!

I was tempted to try it myself after hearing that Faces was infact available to Canadians. It does suck to know that SS is not. However, unlike Faces, I don't think there will be a huge amount of people armybuilding these, so I'm sure they can be found pretty cheap if you look around. When Faces was available, everyone was going nuts for CGs since we didn't get one since 85 and people were paying crazy prices. The fact that the CG 3 pack got cancelled too didn't help. No one knew if Hasbro was going to release CGs. I just can't see the same thing happening with SS. Plus, there wasn't a limit on this mailway as with Faces, so I'm sure many people have them in abundance.

Not to mention the brain surgeons who sent everyone who ordered a single figure at least 5 of them! And then tried to have them fix the mistake by either sending the figures back, or paying for the figures without sending in Battle Points!

And here we are on top of the world, with no SS....
makes you wonder who's in charge at Hasbro....
