I find it funny that the Ontarions get terrible distribution and we're right beside Buffalo and Detroit.

Well I know that products sold in Canada must display bilingual packaging, whether the packaging itself is or if a sticker is simply slapped on the outside somewhere. However that doesn't explain why Canada keeps getting shafted like this. And what's up with only 2 Elite figures per wave? Not to mention, they're always the crappiest of the two. It's as if we're just getting what's leftover after Mattel ships all the good stuff throughout the US.

Things need to be properly imported into a warehouse and distributed that way. Multiple steps (import to Mattel, ship to Retailer Warehouse, distribute to Store, etc). Mattel Distribution is probably somewhere in the GTA which is completely different than Mattel USA (and Mattel Worldwide). Mattel Canada probably didn't order/import the missing series of figures. If it was easy as getting a shipment through Detroit/Buffalo(without import) for quicker distribution, I can guarantee that an abundance of other products would benefit moreso than toys.

So what possible reason could Mattel Canada have for not ordering full sets?

Just took advantage of that TRU sale and picked up my new favorite figure, DM Ultimate Warrior! The detail on this figure is amazing, especially in person.

Yet Jakks can't send up TNA figures at all. There are collectors in Canada Jakks, incase you were unaware. >:l
