I fully expect the Blue Tab to be no more in Canada, just based
on observation.  Last year they were everywhere in quantity,
at Zellers, Wal-Mart, and TRU.  But they were at full price.
Then Zellers and Wal-Mart both cleared them out later last
year, with Wal-Mart pushing them down to Cdn$12 even! (US$8).
I have not seen a blue tub at either of these stores since.
TRU didn't put theirs on sale until Feb I think it was, but
when they did they disappeared completely, too.

Except for old warehouse stock showing up, I don't expect
to see the Blue Tubs again in Canada.

Both Zeller's and TRU have stocked the tubs here in Edmonton, always at full
price.  Except for a bit right after X-mas where everyone out here seemed
low in everything, I've never not been able to find a blue tub at full
price, if I wanted it.  walmart doesn't appear to have restocked, though.

In Toronto, my local Toys 'R' Us has several!
I've also seen them else where.
But the prices are always high, around $19.99 - $24.99.
If i found the big blue tub anywhere under $15 i'd buy about 10 of them!
