And they told me this:

Thank you for contacting Hasbro, Inc. We appreciate your interest in our product line.

Hasbro products are carried by Toys R Us (or online at www.toysrus.ca), Amazon (www.amazon.ca) as well as visiting your local Canadian Tire, Sears and Walmart. Additionally, many Hasbro products can also be purchased online at www.hasbrotoyshop.com.

Please keep in mind that depending on time of year, retailer distribution systems, store inventory and sales patterns, it may take from several weeks up to several months after the availability dates given for some products to show up on store shelves.

We apologize but we cannot guarantee product availability at any one store.

Warmest Regards,
Jennifer

Gee thanks Hasbro!

Was this from Hasbro USA or Hasbro Canada?

edit: I feel pretty stupid asking that, considering all the .ca stuff in there.

OK Guys,

I have spoken with my friend in Texas and he is quite willing to try and find Titans Brainstorms for anyone who might be interested in purchasing some from him. He will likely take one off orders so it isnt a big hit on his finances as he is just a fellow collector. That means no groups purchase from him as he will not be able to front a few hundred to Walgreens for a postal order, as its easier for him to just buy some for each person contacting him. I am compensating him for his time, fuel and taxes in finding items for me and he will not cover my shipping.

My question is, who is interested in getting in contact with him and how much do u feel is a reasonable price on each Titans Brainstorm from him? We are unsure the condition of stock on shelves there and how long or how difficult they will be to find, but he is willing to give it a try if people need some help getting figures from the US.

Not sure the best way to sort this out, but if anyone is of interest give your impressions on this forum, and maybe I will try to sort out how I can put everyone in contact. My message system on the forum has little space, so if there is a better way to communicate please offer suggestions.

Thanks to all...Happy Hunting!!

I received the Walgreens Brainstorm today and wow it's a great toy. I was going to cancel my amiami order but I think i'll be getting both!

Just ordered a pair, shipped to my friend in Seattle.

Note that if you go the Walgreens route there is a limit on 2 per customer. Which, at least, is good to keep scalpers from raiding them all.

Got one from a guy on Facebook. $40 shipped beats no toy at all.

That's not bad: straight cost from a Walgreen's in Buffalo is almost $30 cdn after NY sales tax and currency conversion.

40 USD. Can't drive to the States though, so...

I have one for $45 CDN that I brought back from the US. I'm close to Montreal, but will be in Ottawa this weekend if anyone there wants it.
