Some questions.

Will we get some notice as to when these will go up on HTS?

Can Canadaians buy from HTS?

Thanx

Yes we can buy from HTS, shipping is killer.

Yeah; I remember shipping not being cheap when I ordered a bunch of the NYCC sets for local collectors.

For reference's sake, they use FedEx.

Yeah, it's $20 per figure for the convention exclusives -not bad at all.

So do this mean it's $25 or $45 to ship to Canada?

I'm not too worried about the shipping. $100 for Bruticus is the Canadian retail price anyway and he will be in accurate colours. I can only imagine what his price will be on the secondary market for him. Then Zombiejumper which is already going for a lot and the only FE figure I need.

I need to get these no matter the cost...should be fun times trying..NOT!!!

Another question...

That ADDITIONAL $25 to Canada, is that on top of the shipping rate? If so thats just total BS.

Generally there is no notice before HTS puts stuff up. It just shows up and you fight for it :/

Last year was a pretty big fiasco.

I have a pretty good record with SDCC exclusives.

Got a Starscream Striker thing, and an Optimus Matrix set in 2010

and in 2011 I picked up the Avengers mini mugg set as well as the New York TF: Prime set. Had a chance to get the Star Wars Death Star thing, but passed on it, which I regret.

And it's not overconfidence, we've been seeing the Transformer exclusives seem to be made in massive amounts, and usually remain in stock for some time after release. Bruticus I feel will be no exception, not only is he quite pricy, he's going to be a retail release soon enough, and I doubt he'll sell out in 2 minutes like other exclusives have.

Terrorcon Cliffjumper however might end up selling out quick, seeing as it's a FE toy not released in the states, so I'm sure he'll be one people would want.
