I would replace half of them, so that most people would less likely notice they’ve been peed on, or can get one that hasn’t. Any more and it’s too much of a waste.

There are no such things as monthly bus/tram passes in the USA, hhmm? My company actually pays for mine and I never had any troubles visiting toy stores. It only takes time, not money.

That’s because you’re shipping UPS/FedEx. Those bastards and their “brokerage” fees…. Aargh…

Have the item shipped via the US post office. It’ll cost a reasonable amount and not get hit with additional brokerage/HST/GST/GimmeYourMoney fees.

If someone won’t ship USPS we just won’t deal with them because as you say, it ain’t worth it. But if you ship USPS ground, you’re only looking at a couple of bucks more than for in-the-States shipping.

Just watch out for those global flat-rate boxes. They will rape you in the ass.

That last line is pretty hard to read on my monitor, but totally worth the effort. It makes the whole strip worthwhile all on its own.

I feel like this discussion should have a “disgusting bachelor frog” gravatar

I know. The worst way we get screwed is towards the end of a line like this. Canada gets everything late except huge things that have a specific release date (ie. Transformers movie toys just before the movie). If it’s not on the shelves before that day it hits a wall and never comes out.

Well maybe the worst way we get screwed is when some toys cost 150% to 200% of the US price even though our dollar hasn’t been that bad in decades. And right now it’s better than the American dollar. Seriously TRU? Leader Class Optimus was $79.99 here and $39.99 in the States?

Michelle, that’s a dangerous question to ask in this group.

Ohhh…ok. That makes sense. I might have to buy one from them if they don’t appear in stores soon… Thanks for the info

Not all online stores are equal, and it does depend on what you’re looking for. Sure, one can get RTS Windcharger online, but for about $40. Even one of the friendlier online stores, TFSource.com, was selling RTS Windcharger for $18.95.
