Canadian Eh?

Toronto is in Canada.

He didn't say it wasn't. I think he meant that if it would be in Toronto, it would be 3x better instead of 2x better if it was somewhere else in Canada. :classic:

Yeah, I also meant it cause it would be another reason for me to move to Toronto. :blush:

haha good!
Abbotsford is about an hr East of Vancouver

Yes Abbotsford is quite far from Vancouver. Lego would probably add stores to major cities of Canada first before adding them to smaller cities. I.E Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, etc

Maybe I'll see some of you in Seattle in October?

I'll see you there!

I'll bring the Beagle too, though I'll have no idea who the hell you are :tongue:

Tis a shame tha Brickcon isn't quite so popular as all the other lego expos.

I think they would stand to make more revenue in the larger population centers. Besides Toronto would be more convenient for me to travel to. :classic:

I agree with you on that one :wink:

I was at the TRU by Eglinton and Hurontario (Mississauga) and found that they have most of the 2009 pirates line stock-piled, So for all you Pirate-Lovin-Canadians, run to get MORE!,

They won't be there long.

I expect that- if they do make a LEGO store- they'll have one in Calgary.

If they do have Lego stores in Canada, Calgary would probably be in the "second wave" of stores along with Ottawa, and other medium sized cities, although it's more likely that there will be a store in Edmonton instead of Calgary in the West Edmonton Mall.

(first wave would be Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver)

True- the WEM would make a great location for a brand store.

Latest rumour I hear is Chinook Centre as part of that mall's renovation.

Was just notified by a fellow AFOL that he found a job posting for a Store Manager for a LEGO store at Chinook...

Here's a pretty interesting sale at TRU:

Any $79.99 sets get reduced to $69.99

2 for $40 on any two $27.99 sets

2 for $60 on any two $34.99 sets

:thumbup: :classic:

I stopped into my local TRU today to see if the new Toy Story sets were in stock and I was pleased to find they were. They seem to be the same price as listed on the Canadian S@H.

Not a bad sale that's on either, but unfortunately most sets that I want to pick up don't apply. Also, disappointingly, the $79.99 marked down to $69.99 is only for four of the sets (Neptune Carrier Sub, Technic Log Loader, ARC-170, Wind Turbine Transport), not all of them.

Huh. The TRU at Yonge and Eglinton (Toronto) hasn't had any in months.

flyz · May 13, 2010

Chinook Centre location is official according to the site.

Nor has the one at Regent (Winnepeg)- well, only the cannon Battle, but I already have it.

**Ricecracker** · May 13, 2010

There's a new sale at TRU this week. It looks like they accidentally added the seaplane to the sale, too. :wink:

Unless... Calgary goes first.

Ah, well that in no way makes sence. :hmpf:

Please elaborate.

It makes total sense. His post states that Calgary would be in the second wave, and as it turns out, Calgary is first. It was a light hearted poke. Where's the confusion?

Well... yeah :grin:

just seemed worded strange to me. Ah, well- no harm done.
