So, after about a week, it seems as though Mattel has arrived in Ontario, Canada. I honestly haven't been looking extremely hard for them, but when I had a second, I checked out a TRU or a Wal-Mart. Today, at the local TRU, the staff had stocked up the section huge! They had Basic Series 1, 2-Packs Series 1, Flex-Force, and to confirm for all of us Canadians, the prices are outrageous. $16.99 for a Basic and a Flex-Force, $24.99 for the 2-Packs, and $22.99 for an Elite. And here is where it gets interesting. I decided that I would pick up the Elites, because they all look pretty spectacular, however they only had the Undertaker and Rey Mysterio. It seems as though, for whatever reason, that the release at that TRU only have the Undertaker and Mysterio as a set... no Edge, no Punk, no MVP. Not even part of the series.   Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or if I'm the lucky guy who found only 2? |

thats the first ive seen of that. and those are packaging varients as it only shows those 2 as the set. It could be preproduction ones much like the jericho, hbk, batista, & cena set are possibly preproduction here in the us.

The Punk Elite is a really nice figure. Shame that an elite is 20+ dollars; let alone the fact that the 2 packs are cheaper.

Damn! Thats a real shame, hopefully they are production ones and the real elite set is coming. But anyway at least you did get rey and taker which is better than none. Enjoy.

Could it be the rest were already picked up? From the cases I've seen those two figures were 2 per case and the rest were 1 per case. Although looking at the back of the cards in your pics I don't remember if they were the only two pictured on the cards. Plus the front of your cards are different as well -  |

I was able to open a fresh case of Elite figures today at my local TRU, and I'm sad to say that only Undertaker and Rey were inside. I sure hope we get the rest of Series 1 Elite figures soon cause I'd love to pick up Punk as well.
Also, just to mention I've picked up a couple WM Heritage figures and I noticed that unlike the US versions where a superstar bio is on the back of the box, all we get here in Canada is a picture of the superstar, the WM that the figures attire is based off of, and their signature. I'll try and post pics of the Stone Cold I picked up but I have to find a camera first.

That sucks. Hopefully you will get all of the Elite figures. And as for the prices in Cananda, in Australia they are the same price, simply because they make us PAY for shipping  |

FYI - I also found some Mattel product at a Walmart in west end Toronto. But I obviously wasn't the first one to get their as nearly 90% of the product was sold.
I saw some flex force Undertaker, an Edge figure and one WWE belt.

Still no sign of the Entrance Greats. I sure hope they will be available to Canada as well as the other Elite figures not yet available to us.

I've gotten confirmation from a TRU employee that Entrance Greats will be $29.99 each here in Canada. Although there were none at this particular TRU, the prices were checked in the same computer I got the official pricing for Basics, Elites and the rest of the current line-up.
Not sure if that was already mentioned, but there you go. $29.99 each.
