I'm sure I've said it but this is like day 14 of me sitting here with that page up periodiclly refreshing. Finally today I got through. I didn't even know they were all up on the site. I was grabbing Warrior and checking out as fast as possible. I'm absolutely gutted. Not only did I miss out on them today on sale, but after calling 5 TRUs in the Vancouver area, NONE are showing any stock coming in at all. This seriously f****** blows. Meanwhile they're being scalped to all hell for 40 bucks and up online. I'm honestly about ready to give this hobby up. It shouldn't be this hard to find a bloody toy. Takes all the joy out of collecting completely.
I gave up!
I decided to just collect Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, the Undisputed Era and Alexa Bliss. Ironically, it seems that all those figures usually end up in Canada for me from either Walmart, TRU or Amazon.
I feel your pain and understand what you are going through. The fun of collecting is done thanks to scalpers who buy and sell for 3 times the amount online. It's not just WWE stuff either, the Walmart MOTU toys have had this happen to them too. Buy them for $15 each and sell them for 3 or 4 times the amount on eBay or Kijiji. You almost have to hit your stores every day - twice a day - to make sure you can get what you are looking for before scalpers take them.

There is some sob scalping the MOTU at my local Walmart. Everytime they are in stock then I get there just too late. Last time the only figures left were the ones with wonky cards. I grabbed a Skeletor and He-Man with the best cards. I left a Man E Faces that looked like he had been chewed up and spit out. So much that on the way home my sister was still amazed that it was so beat up. She said it looked old like it had been in the warehouse for years. That day I gave up collecting them. I'll buy a few if I see them here or there but I'm not going to actively hunt them out anymore and I had planned on buying everything. It's Mattel's fault. They can't help they don't like money.

The last two figures I wanted were a new Eddie (which we finally got with Legends) and a later career, elite HBK that we never got so I made my own. Once I finally receive my Eddie I'll be fully retired. Moving on to magazines. This hobby blows. It was a wild ride. 2009: Elite series 1 "preview" (Taker and Mysterio only) 2010: up to Elite 6, only 3 figures of each series. 2011-2014: nothing 2015: yes! We have elites with it restarting for us around E31/32 (just in time for Target to bail). 2017/2018: what? We're getting figures before and more consistently than the US? 2019 and on: maybe you'll get some serieses, but not many. Hopefully you can get them first before your neighbor who clears out the entire store and puts them on Facebook for double the price to gouge their neighbors.

Other than 2011-2015 being dead, maybe because I live in Vancouver and there was usually something to buy this is spot on.

So the Rogers Centre might be demolished in the future and a smaller (30/35000) stadium will be build on site.

Ha ha ha nope! I have an entire shelf with Seth and AJ figures on it. Even have all the belts they won too and I have 3 AJ elite figures on the wall MOC as well as 3 Seth figures MOC on the wall. Those two are my favourite. So the fact they constantly come to Canada for me to buy is a blessing for me, but definitely a negative for everyone else ha ha ha
So blame me for now on if you see too many AJ Styles and Seth Rollins figures on your toy shelves in stores

All of Legends series 8 is back up and in stock on TRU website... $20.99 a figure!!! ****! I missed them! I was on there 4 minutes after you posted it and they're all gone except for Orndorff. Damnit people move fast. Sorry dude... by fluke I checked and they were up. It sucks here in Winnipeg with only stores selling essentials open cause TRU website and other cdn retailer sites blow. Luckily I secured myself a Guerrero and Snake!!!

Damnit people move fast. Talk to the member mzcout he's in BC and is always sniping figures in the stores. He may be able to get you some. Will they be at retail? That I don't know.

People post it on that stupid fb group and the scalpers getem. The same guy posted they were live the last 2 times. Must have a bot and posts after he gets his. Im over it I love the guys who bought elites at Walmart during the sale for $19 then were selling them for 30 and up. I was laughing when people were asking them if they price matched Walmart lol

That wasn't going to happen anyway since the Rogers Centre is to small, they only want to run NFL stadiums and the nearest one with a roof is Ford Field in Detriot.

Anyone looking to do price adjustments for TRU online orders, you can do it via live chat on their website.

I was on their website yesterday wanting to speak to someone and couldn't see how to do it. There should be a little popup on the bottom right corner once the page fully loads. If chat doesn't open try different browsers.

Has anyone used Priority International on RSC? I've received items this way from other places without any duty fees, but not sure about Ringside.
