I ordered from Star Action Figures UK. Order should hopefully arrive within 2 weeks. Ordered 5x SW items and 1x Road Rage. Be aware that shipping was 24 pounds. The Google conversion calculator to CAD was handy to see their prices and CBSA may tack-on some Customs fees on the box too.

So TRU is carrying the Buzzworthy Bee figures in Canada?

Anybody know where a guy can order a bw ss86 Kup? The deco is so much better and I want one. Any info?

I haven't seen any news about Buzzworthy Kup in Canada yet, my guess would be to wait for the release to happen here.

Which TRUs has he been seen at? Were there many on the shelves?

I only saw 4 on the shelf and it was at the TRU in Pickering.

That's an interesting take, but very different from what I see. The amount of TFs in all the TRUs near me combined seem to outweigh the amount of TFs in all the Walmarts near me combined.

Don't know if that's the same for others.

LOL.

There are only a handful of TRU stores in major Canadian cities and 1000's of Walmarts WORLDWIDE

Walmart also sells in the states in us dollars at much higher percentages than it does in CAD dollars.

TRU only collects in CAD.

Walmart also has it's own freight service which is another massive savings for them.

Hasbro pulse is selling buzzworthy Kup and Silverstreak right now. Cliffjumper is already sold out.

Ordered a Silverstreak for myself. I ordered it with the upcoming Legacy sandstorm and shadow panther, and even with Pulse?s expensive shipping, Silverstreak is cheaper than buying at TRU.

Thanks for the tip...I order from the UK a few times a year...if they use Royal Mail there is a good chance you wont get dinged with customs...mind you when the Govt is low on cash they tend to increase chance of customs charges in my experience. In Jan I had one parcel from UK and one from Germany, the latter had fees, the UK one didn't. Cheers!

My UK Road Rage arrived yesterday... but dinged on Customs form when I went to the PO today. Even with all the charges and conversion, it still cost me under C$40 for her.


Also, her legs seem better than Tracks in car mode, so... yay?
