Hey guys, I visited my local TRU here in Vancouver, and ended up finding NO Mattel figures whatsoever. After complaining to a manager about how the figures should be available today, she went to the back and brought out one box on Basic 2-Packs. I picked up HBK & Jericho and Legacy! ;D
Just a couple small pieces of info for Canadians:
Boxes of 2-Packs contain 6 pieces, and the box the manager brought out contained 3 HBK & Jericho, 2 Legacy and 1 Santino & Beth Phoenix. I don't know if this means Santino and Beth are more rare, but that's just how this particular box was broken down.
Also, here are some prices that I got a TRU employee to check in their computers for me:
Basic Series 1 - $16.99 Basic Series 1 2-Packs - $24.99 Flexforce Series 1 - $16.99
I didn't get prices for Elite, WM Heritage or any other Mattel items because he was too busy, but I'll call again tomorrow and post any info if I get any. I hope this helps people somehow.

I just found out that Elite figures are $22.99 here in Canada, I'm absolutely shocked. That's $2 shy of the price that Jakks 2-Packs cost!!

Wow. Here in Ontario, I have yet to see anything. Heck, the local Walmarts and TRU's barely have any Jakks inventory left on the shelves. It's very disappointing, but then again, not a huge deal. I'm sure if I get desperate, I'll be able to find them on eBay or something.

fautbox, it's the same here in Vancouver man. All three of my local TRU's have no Mattel figures on the shelves at all and no Walmart employee that I've asked knows anything about these figures.

It'd be good to hear from anyone in Canada as to if and when they have found anything. I'm starting to grow impatient! lol

fautbox, check out my post "My Mattel Adventure in Montreal."
In short, I had no luck in Walmart and Zellers. and it seems like they wont be getting any anytime soon.
Toys r Us had them here in Montreal, I checked 2 places, BUT you have to ask for them. They still might be in the stock room.

I hope this helps people somehow. Same thing happened here in Hamilton, ON TRU. Only they told me to come back the next day (today) and they would have the display out. Sadly it seems the series 1 basics were picked through (this TRU is notorious for the collectors that work there and take the best stuff). They did have all Series1-2Packs, Elite Series 1, Flex Force Series 1 as well as the Heavyweight Title set. No Heritage Classics I can also confirm the price.. 16.99 for a single figure is outrageous. 2 Packs are reasonably priced though.
