    Canadian Retro Sighting at TRU

    I read the rumours here and even though I'd stopped in twice this week (kids) I got in the car and found this!



    $22.99 and it was overflowing with Batmen. Really happy to see them there.

    Cool! Nice find on the Two Face. Was that the only one there I presume?

    Too much space. Need more toys!

      nah there were two.

      When I got in some kid was standing in front of them holding that twoface going "daddaddaddaddaddaddaddaddaddaddaddaddaddad!" I had to wait for him to go away to take a photo.

            Nah, I got a set through ebay for like $90 shipped a couple weeks back, cheaper considering this set would have been $92 plus the 13% HST.

            However, if my son gets invited to any birthday parties, I'm totally pushing for Retroaction.

              Yay!!!!! I'm going to leave for work early and stop in at TRU before I start.

              Thanks for the tip!

                  The interesting thing for me is that it doesn't look like any french has been included in the packaging (or stickered on). Or is that no longer a thing with Canadian toys?

                    ^^^^Depends on where its sold. If you dont plan to distribute in quebec (and possibly some other provinces?) you can get by with just English packaging.

                    I found these in the Cross Iron Mills mall in Balzac Alberta, so the Calgary stores must have them too...just havent hit the shelves. I was there when they put them out. 2 Superman, 4 Batman, 2 Aquaman, 2 Two-Face, and 2 Black Manta seem to be the packaging assortment for up here. (6 figures per box, but two boxes packed in one larger one.)

                      Nice! I'll be on the lookout for these!
                      No exclusives and no chase figures, please - I'm Canadian!

                              Nothing at our local Winnipeg TRU yesterday but I have Series 2 on order from a comic shop for what should be close to the same price.
