    Will Canadian TRU be getting Mattel Superheroes?

    Anyone know if the Canadian Toys R Us stores will be getting the Re-Mego Superheroes?

        I'd like to know three! Hopefully, as they get a decent smattering of other Mattel DC stuff, they will get them. If not, I'll probably order them from Legends.

              They DO NOT call them retro action. They are "DCU Worlds Greatest". If you ask for retro action they will not be able to find them.

                  Thanks Lonnie..I'll go back later in the week and add that to the line of questioning.

                  Out of curiousity, if they call the retro action stuff worlds greatest, what is the worlds greatest line listed under?

                    My 2 Green Arrows Arrived two days ago....Under 1 month to receive. Pretty good. Question: How come so many are selling the other 3 Wave 1 products already?? ARe they available somewhere??

                      Yes they are, on eBay, Amazon and even in certain TRU's

                        Toys R Us is pretty random with which exclusives get to Canada. No Simpsons Main Street, but we did get the White Queen/Black Queen/Silver Wolverine and the 3 3/4 Marvel boxsets of 3 figures recently.

                        First hand, I saw the Trek re-Mego's at the Victoria Park/Lawrence TRU for a brief time last year.

                        If it is May, then I'm assuming the comic shops will be getting theirs first? I expect to see some at the upcoming toy shows with a markup.

                        In Toronto, that means the Silver Snail and the Planet X chain. Although maybe some of the other stores that didn't pick up the Trek's and Ape's might go with the Retro Superheroes. I don't think I saw any store with Night of the Living Dead on the pegs.

                          I'll make you a deal Haggis, if I see them at TRU Hamilton I'll pm you right away if you do the same for me.

                          Not sure where any other ones are. I think Mississuaga, possibly Oakville?.

                            I was at the Whitby one last week thinking perhaps they were out since I kept seeing them for sale at various locations on line...but the guy had no idea what I was talking about....I will call and ask a manager to look into it for me....
