A $2.00 fee is less than Canada Customs charges for brokerage ($5.00) and far far less than some other companies (UPS, for example, will typically run you up a $30 to $40 brokerage (...)

Don't fret, we will get Storm Troopers. How though, no one will know. The figure is in the StarWars system logo as is Boba Fett. And we got Boba Fett. And soon we will get the emperor too(which we have all seen). You can pretty much assume that we (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

From what I understand the Shadows of the Empire line from Kenner actually sold fairly well... not as well as the rest of the SW line mind you, but still pretty well.
