Good news for Canadians!

Well good news for me at least. I went in to TRU today and lo and behold what sight do my wonderous eyes see but Forces of Valor! Yes FOV in Canada! Okay so maybe there was only two sets of figs and thats it but maybe its a sign of things ot come. First comes FOV soldiers then maybe 21st vehicles! No more will you yankees hog all the cool toys:) Now I can buy stuff in my own home town (imagine that). To any of the other Canadians on this forum do you have FOV in your stores or am I just supremely blessed?

Thats it, we must now invade Canada and take all their toys away,....How dare Target sell FOV up in canada...we are already short of them down here in the States....Guys get ready...we are all going on a road trip.

FOV has been in TRU canada for about a year now. Mostly a small selection of 1/72 tanks and figures and planes plus some 1/32 figures. I've also seen the 1/72 armour diorama packs as well. No 1/32 armour.

Lots of german subjects.

I've only seen Action Grade 1:72 tanks (the Abrams and Bradley) and figure packs (only American soldiers). I doubt very much we'll start seeing German FoV or larger scale stuff anytime soon

I thought you were going to say that Canada finally saw the error of their ways and wanted to join up with the USA!

Yeah, I've seen some 1/72 action grade sitting around at local wal-marts. Haven't been to TRU in some time. Thing is up here in The Great White North, you can be caught with a joint and you won't even get a slap on the wrist...the cops might just tell you to take a hike and take it for themselves. At the few remaining strip clubs, the strippers still drop their drawers!

You can't how ever get a beer at the local 7-eleven, super market or gas station and smokes are a small fortune.

My buddy has a toy bis and buys direct from Panache place. Carries 99% of the FOV 1/16, 1/32 and 172nd Enthusiast scale lines. Gets a few collectors in now and then and sells a bundle over ebay.

Well, we (the British and Canadian forces) burned Washington to the ground, but they (the Americans) burned York (Toronto) to the ground a year before that. Keep in mind that York was the capital of Upper Canada back then - fairly important.

Anyways, I really wish there were suppliers of FoV, 21C, Dragon, Easy Model etc. in larger numbers here in Canada. While the higher value of our dollar makes it cheaper for us to buy from abroad online, I'd love to not have to pay for shipping for once.

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 6:16 pm

I don't understand why retailers (Brick & Mortar) that carry XD in the States don't pay attention more to Canada and the rich potential market that is there.

ERGGGG shipping kills me. On ebay the shipping for an item is like half the price of the item itself. Drives me crazy
