Online stores for figures (Canada)

I'm looking for a good online store, that will ship to Canada without retarded shipping costs or is located in Canada, that has a good collection of Video Game, Movie and sports figures.

In particular I'd like to get my hands on some Halo figures and the McFarlane Alien/Predator/Terminator toys.

    Have you already checked the "obvious" places like the main game stores, and toy stores? Don't be afraid to check out Walmart and Sears too. You'd be surprised.

    You might not find a "all in one stop" store for that stuff in canada, but if you search about, I'm sure you could piece it together.

    Where do you live? Do you live near a mall? I know there is a really good comic/anime/action figure store in bramalea city center, in toronto. You could also try pacific mall, they have a couple shops for figures, though its mostly anime.

    But you might not live in toronto.

    Yes, knowing where you live would be good. There are a lot of local places that sell stuff like that, and you can probably get them to order something for you so you can pick it up at the store and avoid shipping costs entirely.

    |EDIT| Silver Snail Comics, which is based in Toronto, has an online store; however, their website ( http://www.silversnail.com/ ) appears to be down, so you may need to phone them (1-416-593-0889).

    I live at Keele and Finch in Toronto. There is a place nearby called Sci-Fi World that has the stuff I'm looking for but I'm banned from there LOL.

    You should check out The Silver Snail (same one Nibble is talking about). It's just down on Queen St West. It's a bit of a walk, but get off the subway and head west and it's on the south side of the street (address 367 Queen Street West). They have a whole bunch of stuff there. I believe I've seen Alien toys there. I'm almost definite that they'd have some if not most of the other figures that you're looking for. You could always call ahead just to be sure they have the stuff if you're unsure about trekking all the way downtown.
