Ah, I didn't know TRU had them.  I've had no luck with Ottawa Walmarts so I'll have to try there.  Thanks for the tip.

The Walmart in Barrhaven had a few left last night, but they were not in the aisle. Instead they were on those plastic strips near the endcaps :)

I have yet to see any actual blind bags here :( just the singles sold in the clear plastic boxes.  I hope I find them soon.  Were they with all of the other pony stuff?  I am definitely heading over to TRU and Walmart tomorrow!
also, what's "pff"?

Check your Walmarts - I've seen them in no less than 3 different Walmarts in Alberta.  Camrose, and two in Calgary to be exact.  :D

They must just be the strangest things to try and stock.  You get a box of 24, and the average parent or kid with an allowance might impulse buy 1-3 of them at a time, so they would last on the shelves for a week or two.  But then, you have the random collectors who will buy the entire box the moment they see it.  It must seem unpredictable, to a certain extent, to those making the orders.

My friend was in a walmart just before closing, and he said there were none, but they were re-doing the whole section.  I stopped in the very next day, in the afternoon, and they had a single box that was half sold already.  They must have been for sale as of Saturday morning.  There are only 3 that I'm looking for, but I'm having no luck finding them.

Yeah, I've seen the stores throw a box on the shelf, or have them with the other CCGs by the checkouts, but I've also seen them displayed on the hanging strips near the electronics desk with all the other "small items that easily walk away".  So look all around the store before you think they don't have them.
