Well, those sell like crap, so if you can't find one, it shouldn't be a big issue up here, that's for sure.
Walmart cleared them out, with pretty much only the packs with a goalie selling reasonably well. Even then, I could find all of series one on the shelves. That said, they seem to be a hit with parent of kids. $15 for a single regular fig is a bit steep I guess, but $8 for two - 3 inch figs seems ok. I'm sure we'll see series two up here.
Did you guys ever see the 3" hockey figs? I'm guessing no based on your post, but thought I'd ask.
