Canada gets everything good...early Animated releases, free health care, hockey, crepes, Kids in the Hall...*sigh* if only I could move to such a wonderful place
dmc2008:
Wow, I got all the way to the part where I have to add a Canadian shipping address...
Seriously, just release them already...
e3nine:
oh for the love of god.
no offense to Canada, but I think Hasbro literally missed their target market by a few hundred miles.
we're going to be 25 to 30 episodes deep before we even see an Optimus Prime that was featured months ago.
nkelsch:
We are like 12 days frm US releases... what's the big deal?
docbenspock:

b) all of the above | Soooooooooooo.... just because they only ship to the US, that means that they don't give two shits if anyone else buys their toys? Imagine if Hasbro sold their toys EXCLUSIVELY to the US...
Sense: You make none. Especially since HTS will be shipping to Canada within the next two or three months. (It's one or the other, I just can't remember)
Nyah.

Seriously, just release them already... | I was going to attempt to order until I saw this post....so I tried anyway. I also was denied when a Canadian shipping address was requested.
This wait just plain sucks. I've never been this frustrated with toys. Damn things better be worth it.

How does Canada get first dibs? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

But im ticked-Canada gets all the Animated stuff first *whines* | Cool video. I didn't know Wierd Al was still making music. Don't get me wrong I love Canadians, it's just a funny video.
As far as Canada getting TFA toys first, that's great for you. If anyone is mad about it they are most likely expressing their anger towards Hasbro's lack of release in the the US, which I believe is their home market. But who knows why Hasbro does a lot of things.
As far as I'm concerned they've been saying late June so that's what I expect in the US, that's not saying I don't want to get them sooner Lucs:
Oh yeah and I just want to say thanks to whoever has been uploading the most recent TFA episodes from Cananda to youtube. You guys are a week ahead of us, which just makes me more jealous!

the fact that they hit canada doesent upset me and shouldent . the fact that my kids have waiting so long because those jokers wanted to milk the us market with there leftover movie junk makes me mad. collectors want these kids want these. wake up!
DJW107PRIME:
Whatever Good for the Leafs we can wait... But at least TF's almost always crash land in America! Railguard:
Well eventually we'll get these toys, I hope.
BustaJesse:

Canada/US/Other... doesn't really matter. I still think Hasbro dropped the ball with the delayed release. But yay Canadia anyways!!!
ponn01:
Yay. There is no reason to call Canada names over this. The screw-up is all on Hasbro's head. If Animated ends up NOT doing as good at retail or getting a 3rd season the only place to point fingers is Hasbro and their absolute horrid handling of this toy line and Cartoon Network for the absurd episode releases.

How frequently do you think young kids get toys? Christmas and Birthday. For lots of consumers, slower releases and more time in between launches is 'good'.
Not everyone is like us who can buy a complete wave every 3 months. For us it feels painful to wait 11 more days for US releases. For everyone else, no one is losing a bit of sleep over it.

I found the Wave 1 Animated deluxes at a BC TRU last week, but no sign of the Voyagers. I'll have to swing by this week to see if they are in.

This is going to cause some retail issues, probably floods of shelf warmers with other waves sitting in back rooms not selling. Who knows what the end result will be for the holidays if retailers are sitting with backrooms of toys that have been flooded all at once.

Still, I just wanted to post here to say I ordered BB. I'm happy, because now I can save the gas money and just have it brought to my door. (Or mailbox, still cheaper than driving up to fucking BARRIE to find ANY TF:A figs)
Ugh... I hate driving up to Barrie. Quote:
