antaresprime Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Does anyone know of good places where I can purchase LEGO Technic sets? I am looking for preferably online stores that are strong carriers of the Technic line. I live in Canada so I do not have access to the LEGO stores that are in the US or Europe.
simonwillems Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Welcome to the forum! Since I live in Europe I don't know a good Canadian store, but one can always try Ebay... Good luck!
PaulC Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The official Lego Shop-at-Home online store ships to Canada, and has all the current Technic sets. Go to http://shop.lego.com and just below the menu bar at the top is a box where you can select your county. Canada is there. As for bricks and mortar stores, what province are you in? I know of a few stores in Toronto but that's as far as my knowledge goes. Canada is a big place!
antaresprime Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 LEGO Shop at Home is a good place to purchase LEGO, but the store lacks some of the sets (e.g. LEGO Mobile Crane) that are available in Europe, Asia, and Australia. I live in Toronto, Ontario. Please let me know of good LEGO stores in the area.

Please let me know of good LEGO stores in the area. Ah sorry, I didn't realise the Canadian Shop-at-Home didn't have the ones you were after. I think it may be because they've run out. You guys still have the Dump Truck and Forklift which have disappeared from UK Shop-at-Home, whereas we still have the Street Bike and Mobile Crane which are no longer available on the Canadian/US SaH. All those sets are 2 years old now so I suspect they're not being made any more. If you're lucky you might still be able to find some old stock at a local toy store.Whenever I've been over in Toronto (to visit my wife's family) I've found Toys Toys Toys in the Eaton Centre to be pretty good for Lego. Not sure how many Technic sets they have though. Also Toys-R-Us have a couple of places on Yonge & Eglington (2300 Yonge Street, M4P 1E4 ) and at the Dufferin Mall (900 Dufferin Street, M6H 4B1). If you have no joy there, then try something like ebay or Bricklink. Happy hunting!
xwingyoda Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Guys, can we keep those kind of threads in the BSTF please ;-) Tks !! Move On !! *yoda*
MShiels Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Well you can always hit our store in Mississauga, 2410 Dunwin Drive, Unit 5, we have a good selection of the last 2-3 years of TECHNIC out on the shelves, and more not on display. You can email us at Sales@LastingToys.Com and we can tell you what we have/prices etc. TECHNIC is something I noticed getting a bit scarce at stores the last year or so, especially for the larger sets.
