Hang on to your Secrets & Rares -- You'll have to trade for any new FOP or buy off eBay:

Hi Gilbert,
Glad to see a true FOP fan!  Unfortunately, the manufacturer - Moose Toys is
no longer distributing them in North America.  You may wish to visit their
website at www.moosetoys.com and contact them directly regarding
availability. Otherwise, you may wish to try and contact the following
retailers who may have limited stock on what you are looking for:

Retail Outlets:
KB TOYS
WALMART
TOYSRUS
TARGET

Online stores:
KBTOYS.COM
TRU.COM
HOBBYPEOPLE.NET

Please let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer
them for you.

Thank you,

Dang it! And Series 2 looks so much more awesome than Series 1...

Don't panic...with the guys on this board and the ones over on the Beastformers board, I am sure we can trade for what we need.

This is horse sh*t though...

What is REALLY strange is Kmart just started carrying one case of 5 packs per store!

Also, just because Spinmasters isn't gonna distribute them to North America, that doesn't mean another company might not.

Let's just wait till we see what shows up at Target and Walmart this fall. Because Moose told me that series 2 and series 1 wave 2 were BOTH ordered and shipped to USA companies.

My rep at Spinmaster said that they are receiving them this fall.

The ports of Vancouver are backed up with undelivered shipping containers, because the truckers have been on strike for a month now. The Federal government wont step in, and indepentand storeowners are going bankrupt. Even if Spinmaster did send them, THEY"RE SITTIN IN CRATES! Im choked, but thats OK, cuz I just got 2 more Xars, and the C Spidok, and H Hisss I needed so badly!

Does anyone know If I can fly from Canada to Australia with a criminal record?

Hey it did start out as a Convict colony after all, and they say Australians are descended from those convicts... As long as it wasn't for hijacking planes or other terrorist acts I wouldn't think you'd have a problem but who knows?

As for the crates, maybe you could pose as a longshoreman and sneak around to find the FOPs!

[rextheovermind]

As long as you're not on parole, I doubt that anyone would really care if you're just taking a short trip. I think the only two things they might watch you for would be, as gilgar said, anything with planes or terrorist acts. Good luck.

Here's the email I received from Moose in reply to my questions about FOP in North America & the email I received from Spinmaster:

 

Hi,
My name is Casey and I am from the Fistful of Power team.  Thank you for
your question about Fistful of Power.  Spin Master are our Fistful
distributor in Canada & America.  We here at Moose would really love it
if Fistful of Power was sold in all countries around the world, however
the decision to discontinue the line in the USA was with Spin Master.
We are currently looking into online selling, in which case you would be
able to buy these products directly from us.  Please keep an eye on the
website www.fistful.com to see of any future updates or information on
the online selling.

I hope this helps, as I understand your frustrations. 

Thanks,
Casey
Fistful of Power team
