hi there,
just visited Canada for vacation and was surprised that it was almost impossible to find any figures.
I live in austria and thought, it's though here, but there wasn't anything where ever I went. Is this only Ontario or Canada in general?

I live in Ontario, and my TRU and Wal Mart both have a decent selection of figures, both basic and elite. How many stores did you stop in?

Have been to quite a lot of stores actually in the first couple of days. Must have been at least 14 or 15. All I could find where a few basics (eg Brock Lesnar) and the 20-0 Taker.

TRU right now mostly has WM 28 Elites, BAF Teddy Series, BAF Announce Table Series, 2 of the BAF Backstage Area Series, 20-0 Taker, and just recently we're getting Elite 20.
Wal Mart has been getting Basic 24, 25, 26, and 27 over the past few months as well as I think every other 2 pack series.

Hm....may be just bad luck. Went to about 15 stores, found (almost) nothing.  |

Probably depends where you were. I was in Northern Ontario, and there isn't much. TRU has some Taker 20-0's, a few Cena's and had 2 Ricardo Rodriguez BAF figures (Miz and Big Show). 1 Wal-Mart has nothing, the other has some basics (saw Rhodes and Kingston from 27, but that was it). That's all I saw.

It's true. I live in Canada and haven't seen an elite of any kind on the shelves in over two years. And the basics selection is crap too. Plenty of those stupid new wind up toys everywhere you go though. Thank the lord I live right on the US border...

Southwestern Ontario (mainly Chatham, Wallaceburg) at their Walmarts are bad right now. No figures at all!!
I don't know if it's because the people aren't ordering them in, or what. But it sucks for collectors in Canada.

One of the reasons I pretty much don't collect now. I had a hard time finding Mattel figs (especially Elites) in the early days so I slowly stopped. Since I've been shopping online over the last few years, I think I'm gunna get all the Mattel Kane figs I missed and a couple of the other figs I'm impressed by.
Shipping to Canada is usually a bxtch though....

I live in Ontario and it is hard it's you buy when you see them or you don't buy at all unless their shelfwarmers like basic cena's.
No elite's here either atleast they are at series 28 of basics. Also I really wish I could get TNA figures in store!

I live in Thunder Bay Ontario and the most figures I've seen is at Walmart and there was no elites. Just old series, flex force and rumblers. It's really disappointing. I have to order all my figures online.

It's even worse out west or east. Ontario is probably the best place to find figures in Canada, so if there are problems there...
