My venue ceased hosting Heroclix tournaments after Arkham Asylum. So if they don't want to make space for gaming, I have lost quite of bit of incentive to buy a brick from them... I'd like to do some comparison shopping.
So if you're in Canada, and you buy bricks or cases online, who do you recommend? I'm in Ontario, and won't be getting more than a single case.

The problem lies in that even if we jump on the American deals...we get raped on shipping (as I eluded to earlier) and end up paying even more by the time it arrives at our door.
Is there any solution, or are affordable online deals not possible in the GWN?

$120 sounds about right (mind you that's including HST). I'd try buying from another store if you're at all interested in the BibtB fig. But if online is your preferred choice just get a full set off ebay.
Dariusq, I'd expect to pay $120 CAD including tax for a brick from a retail store. What I want to know is if anyone in Canada finds it economical to order a case by mail, either from a Canadian or US online store. A full set of 64 WoS figures on eBay including shipping would cost more than $300 CAD... If I had $300 to spend, I'd buy a netbook PC!

I have found that living in Canada if you don't have a U.S. address to mail to you can't get anything for cheap. Heroclix bricks can be found for cheaper than 120 but after shipping and duties/taxes you might as well just buy from a store. One time when I decided to try out WoW Minis I found a place that sold me 2 cases that totalled with duties, taxes, and exchange about 80% of what I could have got them in a store for but that only ever happened once and I had to buy 2 or more cases. If you do find them somewhere for cheap can you send me a PM letting me know where as my venue has slowed down terribly for game play.

I'm assuming you mean bricks, not cases. The wholesale cost directly from Wizkids and their distributors is more than 120 for a case so it's not really true that "cases can be found for cheaper than 120" even before shipping unless you mean old sets like Avengers.
