Been searching for this  and no stores in NS,Canada have it yet? I search local wal-marts once a week and no luck :(

I don't really want to ebay it for shipping cost too much....mail-order maybe? ...again the shipping...unless i find a trust worthy mail-order within Canada?

I don't know that I'd panic yet.  With the Christmas season coming up in the next month or so, Walmart (and stores in general) are going to be bringing in more merchandise.  Unless Hasbro specifically says the window on this guy is closed, I wouldn't lose hope.

Happy,happy,joy,joy..... The new Jabba’s throne is finally out in Canada, I picked mine up on my way to work this morning….it’s hard to work when all I want to do is get home and toss my old jabba and set-up this new and amazing looking set.

Just thought I'd put out a bit of news I've heard consistently enough to deem valid.

People are starting to find these in stores again; and not only that, but each store appears to be getting more than just a case or two.  I've seen a fellow collector report seeing as many as ten on a shelf at one store.

Also, for those who are tired of going to the store, these occasionally show up on Walmart's online store.  You can actually have the item shipped to a local store, meaning you don't have to pay for shipping.  Some people like to argue you still have to drive to the store; but I'm not in the camp that believes that's a good argument.
