After all is said and done does this end up cheaper than buying off eBay? I've used crossborderpickups. They charge $10 brokerage fee (for packages up to 10 lbs.). In my case the duty was 0 for $55 USD of figures but I had to pay tax (HST in Ontario) on it which was like $10. Plus $20 to have them ship it to my house. Is that brokerage fee $10 USD it CDN? Let’s call it $40 in fees. How many figures does that cover? Thanks! |

One time I split a ringside order with two other people that cost $544.02 and they charged me 89.80 in tax plus another 25 for handling fee and shipping |

thank you guys so much for this info - I didn't know about crossboarderpickups. haven't tried it yet, but signed up. So i can complain like all those Americans when I miss out on Target exclusives - but if I do get one, I can actually order it from target.com!

For anyone new to using cross borders if you're using your phone switch to desktop mode when filling out all the information on incoming packages. I wasn't able to get all the information otherwise.

I just saw a Colonel Mustafa Exclusive pop up on eBay from Hamilton. It’s in the Canadian/bilingual packaging so it’s a Canadian product.
Check your TRU’s and let us know if you find one!

My local Walmart's WWE section has been swallowed up by an uncountable number of unsold MOTU Ram Mans and Clamp Champs. Just a literal pile.

Went to Walmart in Sydney River and they had to have 10 Mae Young figures on the shelf. They didn't have other people just her. Then I went to Walmart on Spar Road and they had a new basic peg of the SummerSlam line. They also restocked elite 84 along with 4 Michael Hayes elites. How I wish the pegs had those Kama elites..

Nothing wrong with that!
MOTU figures are much more exciting to see than WWE figures of the same guys that nobody wants.

Unless those two are the A.J and Rollins of their toy line. |

No, what happened was they released Clamp Champ and Ram Man while the lockdown was in place for us. So everyone bought their figures off eBay from other places, so now Ontario is stuck with a giant bunch of MOTU figures that can't sell because Doug Ford locked everything down, thus hurting big time businesses like Walmart too for selling their product.
The sad thing is, the next deluxe MOTU coming out is Hordak, and he's already hit the USA, but he may miss Canada now cause of the Ram Man and Clamp Champ figures clogging the shelves.

I’m seeing people in the GTA are finding him now. Some stores are holding him behind the counter with 1 per customer limits. Guess you have to ask otherwise who would know they were in stock? Checked my TRU’s this morning (Ottawa area) but there is once again zero new product. |

That Crossborder Pickups site seems like it could be helpful, might try it in the future.
