Hardcore Stunt Action Ring (new artwork)

What I was told on the RSR is that TRU has had them shipped up via their U.S. stores. It has nothing to with Jakks CND distribution.

There you have it. Your monthly update on what IS available to us at 'major retail' in Canada.

If you appreciate this, please feel free to let me know... it's not like I'm getting paid to post this info here. :-)

Please keep in mind that I ONLY post this information at the WFigs board, and I could post it elsewhere. ;-)

Thanks Guys.

But NOT through the Canadian distrubution.
They'll be brought up by TRU themselves. As are all exclusives with TRU - should they actually bring them.

We 'were' slated to get the 1st CSTT sets, but that didn't happen.

Well, if you mean me, or small independant stores, we've already had them.

If you mean the 'major' retail markets,..... who knows!

They may skip it all together - Seriously.

They've skipped Some Adrenaline and some Ruthless Aggression waves to try and 'catch up' with the U.S.

With Wave 7 being out stateside, and CS5 Just NOW coming out in major retail up here, that makes us 6 months behind the U.S. on Classics.

I know they're taking pre-orders for Series 7 right now...... but they never solicited for Series 6. Odd?

I can't understand why we have to wait so long for these sets to show up at Walmart in Canada. CS 5 only arrived a few weeks ago. I already have CS 6 that I bought on ebay, but I would still like to see them so I can pick up some doubles to open.

I wonder if it has anything to do with bilingual packaging, as the US packaging is english only.

Shouldn't be an excuse. If Mcfarlane can release their figs in Canada two weeks after they've hit the US, jakks has no excuse what so ever

It's purely a business thing.

Jakks does major major business, and for them to handle accounts ALL through the U.S. AND Canada AND the UK, etc.
Would be overkill.

This way, they use smaller distributors in other countries to 'take care' of orders for them.

Let me lay something out for you.

In my case, I order direct - I can use the CND distrubtors items, but by the time they get them, I've already sold out of my U.S. stock. When I place my order, I have to do so through the CND distributor. They relay it to the U.S., and then I get my stuff.

When Walmart, etc. order, they do the same thing - difference is, they really don't give a crap if you have your toys or not.

Smaller guys and indpendant stores can 'stay on top' of things and bring in waves faster than the 'big guys', because the 'big guys' ultimately don't care. They're in business to make money - bottom line. Most businessess are - mine is as well. The one major diff is that I'm a fan that knows whats coming out and when - whereas Walmart or TRU use a CPU to check on how much stock they have - when it gets too low - THEN they reorder.

It's really got nothing to do with language on it.

It's completely up to the store(s) on what they carry - and if they don't order CS6, that's because they want to keep 'up to date' with current product - so, we skipped some AD and RA waves - at least we're only a month be=hind the U.S. now. :-)

We'll get caught up, but we'll be skipping some lines to do so.

Whatever the reasons, it still sucks that we in Canada have to wait so long for the new figures to show up at retail stores. In some cases, we never see certain series of figs.

BHT, I guess you have a store in southern Ontario. That's great for your customers in your area. But, I don't have a store where I am, that carries Jakks products.

Thanks to Ebay, I already have CS 7. Actually, I've had them for a couple of weeks. Yet I'm still waiting for CS 6 to show up, so I can get some extras.

Now, the new tag teams are out, or will be shortly, so I'll be shopping once again on Ebay.
