Help me find a "Toy Story Collection" Woody/Buzz... I'm desperate!

[EricMat]

I would REALLY like to buy one of these new Buzz and Woody film replica from ThinkwayToys, but I can't find them anywhere here!

I'm living in Quebec and stores here can't sell those collectibles because of the Bill 101 which requires everything and anything sold to be offered in French...

Now, I looked everywhere on the internet to find a toy store that could accept to ship to Quebec, but didn't find anything so far. Toysrus.ca won't ship those items to Quebec. The only place I found so far that can ship here is TheDisneyStore... but it'd cost $97 USD to get it shipped which is pretty expensive considering that retail price is $64.95 and Target and Toys'R Us.com are selling them for $49.99 (but they won't ship to Canada)!

Please help! I'm sure someone out there knows a CAN or US website where I could place an order at a reasonnable price.

I never bought collectibles before but when I saw that Woody, I knew that I had to put it on display in my office! ^^

Thank you.

Eric

We bought the WOODY TALKING ACTION FIGURE at Target in Buffalo. It was $34.99 USD but my son carries it everywhere and he loves it. I even wrote his name on the bottom of one of the boots. His name is Cole not Andy, but he thought it was super cool just the same.

I haven't seen it in Canada, but they are not that hard to find as I found a different model at a Walmart in the US. It was the 15 phrase one for $34.97 so 0.02 less but with 25% less phrases. Walmart is not the be all and end all of deals.

Cheers,

Brian

Is it my imagination or ... are these guys located in Markham, Ontario? I clicked on the company info and it says Markham which is about 10 minutes from me. Have you contacted the company?

I run an online toy store (collectible stuff, mostly) and if they're willing to sell me ONE, I can go pick it up and ship it to you. I don't really want to contact them myself because they'll probably ask me to buy a case or two of them. However, if you plead your case to them, maybe they'll agree.

PM me if you're interested in trying this tactic.

 

[EricMat]

Thank you very much, I'll send them an email right away.
I'll contact you if they agree!

To Potzie2 : The Woody I'm looking for is this one :

I know there is other Woody dolls sold everywhere, but not this one.

Follow up : I just received an answer from ThinkwayToys. They don't sell directly to customers. They suggested I should find a friend outside Quebec who'd be willing to buy one from a local Toys'rUs and who could ship it to me...

Thanks for your help and tips Pxlbarrel, it was honestly appreciated!

I might have found another way : Mail Forwarding services.

I'll investigate further on this path. If someone else is in a similar situation and wants to know more, please PM me!

Interesting... I'm almost positive I saw the Buzz at the Walmart in Kanata (Ontario) last weekend. There were a bunch of Buzz toys on the shelf, and ONLY ONE in the exact box shown on this site - it's why it caught my attention. Maybe one of the Kanata Disers could check for the Woody for you? Or, you could perhaps call the store at 613 599-6765 to confirm what they have and the brand?

I'd do it for you, but I live out in a rural area - and only go into the city about once a month now.

 

[EricMat]

Thank you very much for the offer abirdd.
I'm still trying to find a good US Mail Forwarding service. After that, I'll try to figure if I should order from the US and use the mail forwarding service or ask a fellow DISer to help me directly... since I don't want to ask too much, I'll try the forwarding service before asking further help! ^^

They were in the Walmart flyer I got yesterday for $29.94. I think they are the same as you are looking for.

 

[EricMat]

Was it the one with the certificate of authenticity (as shown on the pic a few posts above)?
If it was, I think I'll drive the 6 hours needed to get to Ontario and buy one! Lol ^^

Has anyone seen any Jessies around? That's my challenge for the season!

 

[EricMat]

I can confirm that there is no Jessie film replica in the new "Toy Story Collection" serie.

There are 6 replicas available : Buzz, Woody, RC, Rex, Bucket O Soldiers and 3 pack space aliens.

By the way, I finally used the shopping/mail forwarding service offered by GamesForCanada.com. James has been very friendly and helpful so far. He placed an order for me on etoys.com, applied all the available coupons and promo codes and will forward me the package as soon as he receives it. He told me that he could help canadians import pretty much anything sold in the US over the internet (clothes, electronics, books, etc)

Contact me if you need more info!
