No pythona here yet either. We need to collectively bombard TRU with requests for GI Joe. If they don't want to stock it then at least allow us access to the product online.

In the past they have shipped from Europe rather that the US. I did get the mag yesterday as well.

I already got mine because my friend in Dallas signed up for me and received the figure and shipped to me.

I emailed ToysRUs Canada asking if they'll be carrying the fall 2016 wave in Canada. I got a somewhat clueless-sounding response telling me to ask about products at my local store. Last year it seemed to be a coast-to-coast blackout on GI Joe, and my local store told me essentially "they get what head office sends them".
I'm going to try again, and hope my question makes it to someone who knows what's going on. I really don't want the hassle and major expenses I've had lately for later waves of KRE-O and 50th!

It was through the toysrus.ca website (Contact Us), and the response came from [email protected]. I'm going to try again that way (a different person might route the comment in the correct direction), and ask at the local store. We should definitely be making some noise now, before the ship has sailed.

One local store confirms it's TRU Canada office that decides what they get.

Called another local store in Ottawa: TRU Canada head office decides what products they carry. The manager I spoke with said local stores can submit notes/comments back to head office weekly, and he said he'd do so about the new GI Joe wave. I also called 1-800-TOYSRUS but they had no information to offer, and said they'd send a note to "the appropriate department".
If enough local stores tell head office that there's a demand, we might have a chance of not missing out on the 2016 wave. |

I sure hope TRU Canada carries the 2016 GIJoe stock, so we don't get hosed on the exchange rate. I usually get the figures I want either way, but it is always more exciting to "hunt" for my figures in a local store rather than ordering them online.

I sent the question to TRU Canada through facebook messenger. The response was that no Canadian TRU will not be carrying joes this year.
