Title: Blind bags in Ontario, Canada
Post by: Dinobuzz on October 17, 2011, 17:35:46

Hey guys,
Not sure if this is news or not to us Canadians, but our Turtle Pond Toys (specialty toy store) now has those PM blind bags for $2.99.....just thought I'd pass it on to those in Canada. :)

$2.99  USD or canadian dollar??

Seems to be expensive, I´ve found a shop here in germany which is selling Figures for 1,49€...

Ok, you have no influence what you get.... no thrill while figuring out what´s in the bag....

It would be CDN, but they're pretty much at par so it's the same thing.

$2.99 CDN.....its the same basic price stores here charge for Lego/Marvel/& whatever else comes in blind bags. Specials are $3.99, so I guess its not too bad. :)

We are used to having to pay higher prices here in Canada  :( ... doesn't mean we like it though! Here is Victoria they are $3 but over in Vancouver they were $3.50 which I thought was too high.  Specials are either $3.79 or $3.99 around here... obviously I buy the $3.79 ones - and then wait to see what turns up at Winners for $1.99 to get extras :)

I have all but a couple of the surprise figures now... I can't stop buying them!  :D

You know, factoring in the shipping costs, 3 CAD isn't that steep ... works out circa 2.15 euro. In Europe we have the same problem with American action figures. It's not cheap to get them, neither in brick and mortar shops nor online (ebay etc). In any case, PM prices Europe-wide vary like crazy.
