Hello my Northern Neighbours! I will be in the greater Toronto area this week, visiting for my wife's work from Rochester, NY. Wanted to ask what the latest figs hitting have been, anything not in the states yet? Specifically looking for the new BP 40 (41?) Enzo and Big Cass. Also, wanted to ask if there's any other Canadian retailers I should seek out besides TRU and Walmart, is Zellers still around? Any input would be appreciated thanks guys! The BP set that is here now is Owens/Cena, PTP and Cesaro/Kidd. With maybe certain remains like AJ Lee/Big E, The Usos, or Rowan/Harper lurking in certain stores. TRU will have plenty of Network Boss Man, HHH and HBK figures, as well as the WM Seth Rollins figure, and probably the Cena with the US/WWE Title. Lots of DM Sting figures, and plenty of Elite 39 and a bit of ELite 38 still around. Zellers is long dead. All that is here is Walmart and Toys R Us. |

Zeller and Target is not around anymore. Only Walmart and TRU has stuff. No Enzo and Cass set, but we did get the set before that (with Kidd and Cesaro). All you are going to find right now at Walmart are the remains of B56, 57 and some (if you are lucky) 58, 59 and 60. Tons of E38 Rose and Daniel and E39. Toysrus is flooded with the Network series and some DM Sting, Rollins WM 31 and debut Cena. |

I think I saw some CAW sets there. Don't quote me on it tho. The best times were back when E7 and 8 came out. $12.99 for an Elite and and they had full sets! That's where I got some of my rarest figures (E7 DX and E8 McIntyre). Speaking of CAW, I saw some Bray Wyatts on clearance for $10. Pretty good deal for the accessories alone. |

The problem isn't even the figures themselves, I think its more so the price of the figures. Parents can't afford to buy elites all the time for their kids, and even the basic figures are at an outlandish price of $18 with the tax included. My local Walmart still has remains of Elite 38 and 39, basics of Cena, Reigns, Wyatt, Bryan, and the odd Itami, Gabriel and Slater. And Battle packs of AJ Lee and Big E. That's it. And there are so many basics of those guys, that no way will they sell. Yet in the USA, you can get 4 Elites in a box (either Horsemen or Heenan Family) for $24.99. The price of what one elite costs here. |

Prices went to hell as soon as mattel took over. Now its gotten even worse and were paying even more for less like these rubber clothes and lame defining moments figs coming out. Say what you want about jakks but id take an articulated figure with no back deco all day long for $15 over paying about $30-35. Theyre only toys. I can buy lumber for my home cheaper than these things.

I can buy lumber for my home cheaper than these things. I remember back in 1998, I would go to Walmart and Taco Bell with a friend, I would bring $25, buy 3 BCA figures, and Taco Bell and still come back with money in my pocket. Now, if I went to Walmart with $25, I couldn't even get an Elite figure because they are $24.99 before the tax even! I do remember the Jakks RA figures being cheap too. Like $8.99 a figure. And the DA figures were like $11.99. Better days for collecting. And on top of that, it seemed like we never rarely missed a line. All the Classic figures came over until around CS 15 or so. Then it got all messed up on us. |

Our distribution was messed up until cs 9 or 10. It faded in and out but became as good as the states for quite awhile after that. Even with tru putting their prices up by $2 it was easy to justify. The most outrageous at the time were tru ex cs 2pks for $30. RA for $10 or a 2pk for $15. Then legends series one hit zellers and it was like boom.
