Platinum Predaking G1 reissue in Canada?
Seeing as how it's going to be a bigbadtoystore and amazon.com exclusive, what's the best option for pre-ordering this set in Canada? It would be nice if it were available via amazon.ca so as to save on shipping and duty fees, though it doesn't seem as if they'll be carrying it. Are there any other less obvious means of getting it in Canada? Thanks.

Wasn't the last release of Unicron an Amazon exclusive that became a TRU exclusive here in Canada?

Yeah but the G2 Bruticus didn't show up here which I think was the amazon exclusive after unicron. I personally already preordered mine via BBTS, I was already looking at getting a reissue predaking before they announced this one, so I pounced on it right away.

If you live close to the border, have it sent to a mailbox in the states from the HasbroToyShop. Its not worth the extra money they charge to ship it to Canada though

Yeah... That's bad.

I know that TFsource has a good track record of shipping to Canada without inciting duty fees. How good are BBTS at doing the same?

my buddy ordered g2 bruticus from amazon.com and incurred no extra charges. I've got some stuff in a bbts pile of loot already so might go that way, not sure.
