Has anyone found the Hailfire Droid and trhe 4 new MINI sets at retail yet in
the Hamilton/Burling/Oakville/downtown Toronto area yet (Ontario, Canada).

Where ARE they already?

I did find 3 of the MINI's (not the Falcon) at Toy, Toy, Toys in the Eaton
Centre in Toronto but at $11.99 I thought they were about 2 buck more than they
should be.

These should have been readily available in July, yes?

Thx...

They had all the new minis at a TRU in Ottawa in early July.  I've also seen a
few in various Toronto TRUs and the price tags for them at a few Walmarts, but
no sets.... aside from a few MTT sets.  The only place I've seen a hailfire at a
Sears in Newmarket..... but nowhere else.

I get the feeling the minis are selling like hotcakes, just like when the 1st
wave of minis was released in January/february.  So they're around somewhere,
just not in stock.  I recommend patience!  ;)

Your best bet is to ask at a TRU/Walmart, and/or check regularly for new
shipments. Hope this helps.

Or, while the Canadian dollar is still strong, order them for less from Shop at
Home.  There's a free shipping deal on for Canada right now, if memory serves
correctly.

Yup.  Pretty much the same deal as last fall, I believe.  Free shipping with any
order over $99.  Last year, several people in my office, including me, went
together to place two big orders both well over 99 dollars.  That way everyone
gets free shipping and no one has to order more than they want.  Something to
consider.

Retail on these is $10 CAD each.  I saw them at TRU (briefly) in the summer, but
they either haven't restocked, or are selling faster than they can keep them.

At least TRU and Wal-Mart are restocking some items.  Has anyone else notice the
weird void of product on Zellers store shelves during the past few months?

Well, after finally finding the Hailfire Drois at TRU in Yonge St in downtown TO, I called S@H and added teh MINI's to my outstanding order for 4502 and 10123. Yes, this can be done. I ordered 10123 when it was available, then called and added 4502 (...) (21 years ago, 11-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Zellers just plain SUCK when it comes to Lego. Even more so since MegaSuk appeared. I have yet to see even ONE Zellers carry a large set ($100 or higher) of ANY Lego theme. (21 years ago, 11-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.ca)
