Alright...just got back from town. Man, great day of hunting...unexpected surprises. Last night, after a long night at work, I went home to get ready for bed, and happened to find this information that the latest Hall of Fame was hitting...and it had been found in Canada. Pardon??!! Upon further investigation, I realized the ebay seller was in my neck of the woods (Vancouver Island) and so headed out to my local figure haunts. Walmart had nothing new since last week, Toy Traders is still sitting on a pile of older Elites, many of them great figs, but none of which I need. Then I swing by TRU...and it gets good.   I will say this...the amount of warning labels on these things...particularly that Dibiase is getting absurd!! Jimmy Hart was the only figure I was after (now that Cactus has been removed from the series). They had the least of him, but I was able to pick him up. Also, I had a rain-check from the last WWE Sale, which I didn't have high hopes they would honor since this wasn't technically a regular Elite figure, however...they did!! Saved me $10!!   Very happy to add another Legendary Manager to my collection...even if I am now realizing that the actual amount of guys we have that The Mouth of the South managed is pretty slim (getting IRS will add Money Inc in a few months I spose...REALLY hoping for Nasty Boys to be announced soon).  Savage and DiBiase are decent figs, but I already have all the Money and the Macho I need. Felt like a good figure hunting day indeed!! |

Hang on...
You found these at TRU? I thought they were Target exclusives?
Having said that though, am I correct in thinking Target no longer has stores in Canada?

^ The Macho King at the bottom looks like a sticker and it looks like another blue one above Jimmy Hart covering up someone. I bet Cactus is hidden under there and Mach was originally above Jimmy Hart. |

They are found at TRU in Canada because Target stores do not exist there. They all closed. There was probably a deal reached to supply them to Canada via TRU

Target no longer exists in Canada as they failed Business 101. They announced expansion to Canada in 2011 and took over a year to launch (the first stores opened in 2013). The whole thing was a train wreck from the beginning, they couldn't even keep their shelves stocked and slowly everything went to hell- they ended up shutting down all their stores earlier this year. For some reason they thought Canada and the USA were exactly the same- different people, different market. They should have opened a few stores then worked out all the kinks then slowly start to open more, instead they decide to enter a new market by opening over 100 stores all at once.  |

It took forever to open, and when it did the selfs had barely anything on them, and months later it was closed. Sucks because it's hard to find figures in that area. |

See I would rush out to the TRU here in Edmonton except for the part where I still haven't seen DM Sting -_-
That's pretty neat to hear though. I just was resigned to the fact that we weren't going to get the HOF series in Canada due to Target dying.
