Toys R Us and MasterMind both have them in Canada.

Managed to a get a complete set for my son and a few extras I wanted at Toys R Us. They seem to have TONS of them. I suspect these will be around for a little while.

I've heard they are at the walmart in Brampton at 7 and airport road. There was some at the Williams parkwy store but I cleaned them out while I build a couple sets and spares. The ones I don't need will be returned later this wek hopefully.

The Lego Stores at Fairview Mall and Sherway Gardens both have them in-stock. They have plenty in stock (also those at the back) but at the same time many have gone through them. Seemed like the Sherway Gardens location has a better variety though. Mastermind at Pickering Town Centre also has them.

Got my 16 in a mix of the 3 stores.

The Barrie South-End Walmart has them in-stock as well. Some sealed boxes there!

Yeah, lots of boxes. Too bad they have stopped selling mini figures at $3.28. Sorry Walmart, but if I have to pay the same price as LEGO store, why wouldn't I buy from the LEGO store? Yes, I know lego store is limiting to 32 at a time. But, I can get VIP points there.

Yes they are at regular prices now, so just buy it elsewhere and Walmart will have no choice but to drop them back to $3.28 or less. Supply and demand, if it sell at $3.49, why drop it back down? We simply need to stop buying from Walmart thats all. VIP points makes a tiny difference, but you are looking at $3 back in points if you buy all 16, not even a extra bag from the series.

hmm... I still don't see any minifig in my local Oakville WM yet?
Does WM put out a lot of boxes or just a few? If latter then someone must brought all of the whole boxes...
maybe I should go to TRU now since the prices is EXACTLY the same :roll:
I like to go to The Lego Stores but gas probably cost more than the VIP points I get :sad:

Yes Toys R Us have them at the same price, Walmarts should have them out by the weekend, did you check everywhere, sometimes they are placed elsewhere. But as you have mentioned, someone might have brought them all? I doubt it, since there are NO mistery figure in this seires for hoarders to hoard, or wait, some of them are uninformed, nevermind.

well I checked the lego section first, then the main isle, and lastly the whole toy section but still nothing to be found. I'll try again early next week (hopefully no hoarder buying every single boxes if walmart decided to put them on selves this weekend)

Finally found the minfigs in my local WM.There are only two boxes left (or maybe that's all they have) but still have plenty left inside.
Again no point shopping at WM now since price is exactly same as everywhere...
