No WWE Mattel figures here in Winnipeg, not even Jakks figures! Just kids belts and the usual Punjabi Prison and SAR Money in the Bank sets.
I'll be out in Southern Ontario over the holidays, hopefully I can find something at Walmarts or TRU's around there.

Which area?
TRU in Sarnia had Punjab Prison and the WM25 (I think) stage. That's it.

Marvel figures were 30% off today at TRU, I picked up an X-Men Legends Wolverine figure on impulse. After opening it up, I discovered the leg joints are really loose. I think I'll return it for another one in a couple days before the sale ends on Thursday.
Also, why is the US receiving all the Mattel stuff already? I was under the impression that there was a street date confirmed for all of North America, that being January 1st, 2010.
What gives?

Some people in the Jakks board are claiming TRU managers all got e-mail messages instructing them to ignore the release date and stock the shelves with the WWE product. But really, who knows?

Found the Punjabi Prison match set on clearance at TRU for $19.98. I just finished assembling this thing and boy, it is massive! After 45 minutes of putting it all together and carefully applying all the stickers, I'm really impressed.
It measures 15'' high, and about 25'' across, or basically 5 CD cases across. The Batista and Khali figures that came packaged in it are pretty nice too, all of The Animals tattoos are accurately depicted on his torso and arms.
Not sure if this is a nationwide thing, but I highly suggest people look into picking it up if their local TRU has it!

Cool about Zellers, but way too expensive. I'm sure Wal-Mart will have them within a week for $9.99 so I'll wait.
I picked up a black metal shot glass with The Misfits logo on it today. I don't drink, but that was too cool to pass up.

yesterday (Dec. 22), i bought the Punjabi Prison Match playset for $19.98+tax @ Toys R Us Cedarbrae (Scarb., Ont.). came with a pretty impressive Batista and average old Great Khali.
today (Dec. 23), i was just randomly cruisin' thru the Ajax branch of Zellers and what do i see?... MATTEL WWE BASIC SERIES 1!!! so i went nuts and bought 1 of each. i think it was JUST unloaded from the back today! at $12.99 per Basic figure though, maybe i should've only bought a couple of them.
mattel vs. jakks... hit and miss for both companies (in terms of how the figures look in comparison). for instance, i like the Jakks RA Batista more than Mattel Basic Batista, but would rather have the Mattel Basic Big Show more than the Jakks DA5 Big Show. i guess it's all up to personal preference.
even still, i can't wait to see the Elite Collection pop up in stores.
i think Mattel's distribution may just be better than Jakks' has been in Canada for the past few years!

Still no sightings of WWE Mattel figures here in BC, I hope we get them by 1/1/10.
I bought a Best of 2009 DA Rey Mysterio today from a local WM. On the back of the box, Rey's costume and mask are painted half purple and half yellow, but the figure I bought is painted all black and has a "Best of 2009" logo stamped on his thigh. I didn't notice this until after I bought the figure, but he still looks pretty cool.

Chatham, ON Zellers didn't have a single WWE figure in stock. No Mattel, nor Jakks.

I got a gift card and a bit of cash for Christmas so I'll probably be hitting up some Boxing Day shopping to look for some Mattel's.
