All '09 sets that have been spotted in other places around the world are available at my local TRU (Yonge-Eglinton Centre, Toronto). Just picked up both Pirate Impulse sets and a Power Miners set today :thumbup: .

Well I haven't spotted any of the new Pirate sets which I've been waiting for, for a couple of months, however my TRU flyer showed the Pirate sets along with a lot of other '09 sets. So I'll be heading to TRU as soon as the snow clears up (which might take a while, at the rate its going now :hmpf_bad: ).

You aren't going out in the snow today are you? I cannot tell where the sidewalk ends and the road begins it's so deep! If you do let us know what's at TRU. I still need to get a gift for the VicLUG dirty brickster.

Haha, at least my son can get some pics of the snowtroopers he has made in the snow. which is a rare opportunity around here.

Oh, and for anyone reading this from Minnesota: we aren't afraid of the dark! [for How I Met Your Mother fans.]

I've seen the set with Mace Windu at a TRU in Toronto, the also have all Pirates, Power Miners, and most City sets. Why can't we all enjoy the snow and appreciate it as a gift from mother nature? :tongue:

Good news star wars sets are now available Up here.

Or at least in Vancouver.

That's good to hear, I might head down to my TRu to pic up a new battlepack or two but that's probably all I will buy from the new Starwars line up, since it seems that all of the Clone Wars sets are way overpriced :sceptic: . I mean $70 for an AAT, $55 for Ahsoka's fighter, $40 for the spider droid, it jsut doesn't seem to be worth it :hmpf: .

Well, I'm from Ontario, although I'm not sure how much this will help any of you. My local chain stores have a bunch of the new power miners, loot island and the soldiers fort for pirates, and both BPs as well as the droid bomber and vader's TIE for star wars.

I live near Detroit, but I wish I was Canadian. The USA is overrated.

Yes a canadian wannabe. Could you please write I'm a canadian wannabe in your signature :tongue:

Done.

I've been to Canada many times and I just think it's better.

- Healthcare for all! I'm poor and underemployed, so it's important to me.

- Same-sex marriages are allowed

- Canada has beautiful cities like Toronto and Montréal, not pits like Detroit (yeah, I know every city has bad areas, but with Detroit like the whole city is the bad area except downtown and around Wayne State)

- Easier to deal with the money. In the USA, they're all green, so I have to look at the numbers in the weird stylized 19th-century type. Also, it has "In God We Trust" in the USA and I'm not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim.

- Canada uses the metric system. Here, it's like people are proud not to know it, and they'd rather divide by 5280 to convert miles into feet.

And yes, I do like winter...I could never live in Florida or Arizona, etc. It's like living in an oven.
