Canada's currency is weak to the dollar which is why the figures are also more expensive I believe. 40 CAD is still 30 USD though Still cheaper than the £24.99 ($35 USD) we were charged for Network Spotlight Elites in the UK... $30 seems pretty reasonable.

Are the Canada stores not closing? Somebody has agreed to buy all the Canadian TRU's I believe Toys R Us Canada is being shopped and there is some interest but no sale agreement has been reached yet. They are in danger of shutting down if they cant find a buyer.

I'm glad The Shark surfaced. Don't see it moving very much at all, so hopefully those who want it can get it presuming TRU goes under up north, too.

How can they justify 40 bucks for an elite with barely any accessories Thats insane. Poor sharks gonna be the next tito We didn't even get Tito Santana since the only HOF line that came to our TRU stores was HOF Series 3. It's probably $40 because our minimum wage just went up. People get $14 an hour now, so when that goes up, so do the prices of everything else. Our retro Hasbro line of Seth, Dean, Goldberg and Styles is $17.99 a piece! So in Canada, we like to live a life of luxury apparently. Wait you guys get $14 an hour minimum wage? You deserve to pay $40 then lol.

I would gladly buy this, if only I knew there was the rest of the Dungeon of Doom in the works. Give me the Taskmaster, Zodiac, and the infamous YETAY!

And then in January of 2019 it goes up to $15 an hour for minimum wage. The only problem is that with it being $40 a figure for something like Shark - which kids will have no clue as to who it is - that is gonna make it sit on the shelves. That and a lot of people are cheap and will wait till it goes on sale, thus hurting the TRU company, and I am sure in no time our stores will be closed down soon, and then everyone can say, "I don't understand... why did they close down?!?!"

Lmao so it’ll be double the U.S. minimum. Either way I agree that $40 is way to much for a toy that appeals to a pretty small market.

Im glad this happened in Canada so maybe some of these yahoos here will open their eyes and realize that minimum wage going up just raises prices (or cuts jobs completely) across the board.

Wait I remember the prototype pic it showed a belt. What happened to the belt? This figure is way overpriced just to get Shark and headband.

Look at the state of that left foot - that's why those ankle joints are useless, and should be deleted, ASAP.

The WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt was mistakenly displayed with Shark at first. It will be released with Ron Simmons in Target's Hall of Champions Elite Series 2. Edit: Bill on Twitter: " Shark distribution in the US has been delayed due to TRU situation. We are presently looking for a new distribution channel for it. We know collectors want it and are determined to get it to them."

Fan Central may be tougher since some or all of the cases seem to have been shipped to TRU. Once they leave Mattel's warehouse, it's out of their control. Fan Central is likely to be sold off to a secondary buyer through the bankruptcy process if they don't make it to stores.
