I know what it's like getting it up the butt to get things you missed out on. BBTS had Galactus - Dark Version for $54.99 and I didn't bite and I just spent $80 plus $30 shipping on him. Spent $75 plus $25 shipping on the Goliath - Blue Variant because I bought the crappy red version a few months back. I'm all for supply and demand but when you try to inflate the rates to more than double, triple, quadrouple, ten times the original price just to ding people because you scalped everything before anyone even got a chance, that's pretty mean. I paid $40 plus $30 shipping for my Loki/Frost Giant and my understanding is that it only costs Americans $25 for this figure. That's just mean. I'm preparing to get really raped by the Sentinels when they finally come out. It's annoying that they simply do not stock these in my city which is pretty screwed up considering we live in a well known and large city. In fact, doesn't seem like they even carry some of these in Canada. I haven't seen the Gigantic Battles in ANY of our stores. And not one single Galactus. What gives, Hasbro? Are your numbers doing so poorly in Canada that TRU and Walmart simply won't stock your Marvel brand toys that cost more than $10 a pop?

For all those reasons alone is why I don't have any gigantic battle packs or anything along those lines. Walmart carrying anything exclusive? Get out of here, never going to happen. TRU will NEVER carry Galactus, ever. I have posted this in other threads, but Hasbro really doesn't give 2 shits about Canadian customers, at least, it really feels that way. Am I wrong to feel that way? Nope. What city do you live in anyways? Toronto? Vancouver? Edmonton? Friend if mine knows the Hasbro rep in Victoria and she says she has no power over anything. Pfff what's the point in even paying you if you don't do anything? Wish I had that job. I'm sorry but hearing this really pisses me off, and the fact I have to fork out 11.11 for a 7.99 dollar figure in the USA drives me nuts, especially when the Canadian dollar is BETTER [for now] than the American. I'm probably coming off as whiny Canadian but seriously, the Canadians on Toyark need to read this and comment on how things are in their area, with exclusives, prices, demand, things like that. This is ridiculous...
