Just wondering if any fellow Canucks managed to find any of the new PM toys?

I've been looking around in Halifax, NS with no luck...

Haven't had a chance to check Toys R Us here in Ottawa, ON. However, I didn't see any while visiting Hamilton, ON last week.

Toys R Us @ the St. Laurent Shopping Center, Ottawa, ON has 6" and 3/4" however they did not have 6" Kirk or Pike. They also have the Enterprise, Communicator and Phaser. As well as the bridge and transporter playsets. I did not pick up any still not sure if I want to collect these... but they do look better then I originally through.

I just saw them at Walmart today.  They had the first batch that has Uhura, Kirk, and I also saw a Sulu.  They are on Canadian cards but the worse part of all, the 3 3/4" figures do NOT come with the bridge and transporter pieces!  I couldn't believe it when I saw them.  They also had a lot of the 6" figures.

Since international figures are not coming with the bridge and transporter pieces, did any Canadian collectors see if the bridge set comes with all the pieces in the box?

Unfortunately, they didn't have any playsets there so I don't know.  If they do, then that would be awesome!  Then I wouldn't have to get the figures I don't want just for the pieces.

Just wondering how many young boys inadvertanly enter playmates.com instead of playmatestoys.com and found instant puberty!LOL! You would think Playmates Toys Inc. could have come up with a safer title for their site. But come on I can't be the only one who saw the name of this thread...Canadian Playmates and my mind was instantly in the gutter with some little snow bunny from the North. You'd think Captain Kirk had a hand in all this! tongue.gif

I tried to go to startrek.playmates.com at work to look at the packaging for reference to a project I'm doing and got ACCESS DENIED! Scared me!

I've managed (since Monday) to be able to find all of the 3 3/4 and 6 inch figs, the transporter room, the role play stuff and the ship.

Still no 12inchers.

I've decided to buy all of the 3 3/4 figures from Rick so that I can get the bases for the bridge. I cannot believe that we Canadians need to pay $9.99 plus tax for a tiny figure
without the bridge/transporter stations--I now remember why playmates was such a pain to collect. Crap like that.
