As a Canadian I have no access to bundles. I can't buy them online because I have no access to a credit card. Also I can't get the bundle from BlockBuster because all of the ones within an hour's drive have closed down. Yet in the U.S.A. they can buy bundles from all the major retailers. I'm lucky to have access to a wide variety of $10 and $20 gift cards, but KingsIsle and Fastcard need to have the other bundles available at retailers.

I try to see myself in your position, and I think that would make me crazy.

And to think about it, I complained when some of the more backwater Targets, Wal*marts, and GameStops did not have those cards for a while. It would probably be worse if I lived in Canada instead of the US.

I found mine at Target, but I did have to ask at the counter. There was not even a slot on the shelves for them -but they did have a package of 30 cards in the back.

It might be easier if KI sold everything online so that everyone can get to them. Its not easy to hit the stores here either. But I am in the US, I would be more than a little unhappy if I were in your position.

Great post good point.

Well at least you can get more than 1 bundle in your area, i live in New Zealand and We only have a bundle that gives you 5000 crowns and a pet. :( But when the epic bundle (i think it was) came out online it was so awesome :D I recon it would be a great if you could get all of them (or at least some of the new ones) online. Oh and i do agree that U.S.A get it all :?

Not all of us can find these new bundles, even in the US. I haven't seen either in any of the major retailers where they are supposed to be located. It may be because they are so new. Personally, I think they should not post about them until it has been confirmed that they are indeed in stores everywhere. *shrugs*

I'd like to say that my Walmart does not have Pagoda Gauntlet (think I spelled it right) but we do have access to the Hawk Rider Bundle so don't think we get it all and also our GameStop only sells the Epic Bundle and the Mega Bundle and the 10$ and 20$ game cards oh and almost forgot my Walmart only sells 10$ game cards and like I said before the Hawk Rider Bundle so no some places in the U.S.A do not have it all

I agree~ I would love nothing more than to get the Avalon-themed bundle (and that gorgeous dragon mount), but it's not available in Canada.

On the advice of Prof. Greyrose, I contacted the card distributor, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything back from them.

Happy day!

I actually mentioned that in a post titled "The (new) bundles. Question" or somthing like that.

That post was so unpopular, it remained in the back of the post list for a good while. If KI did read it, then it just may be out of their hands to change the distribution.

At least you have a chance of getting all the bundles if you live in Canada :) I am in the UK and the only bundles I can buy (and have bought) are the Epic and Mega bundles online. Really loved them both too but would love to buy the Hawk Rider bundle and the Majestic Bundle.

The only way I could buy these at the moment is on ebay.com at a price of $60+ US each, which when you consider they are selling in US stores for £39 is a bit of a hefty price mark up.

I play on the US servers as the game is behind in updates on the international servers (currently just been updated with Zafaria).

Still love playing the game after 4 months, just wish I could buy everything for the game online as I feel disadvantaged living in the UK :P

I think it would be awesome if all the bundles could be purchased online. Transportation is very limited for me as I do not have a car and must rely on the very inconvenient bus system here. One trip to Walmart is an all day excursion on the bus, literally.

I did purchase the Mega and Epic Bundles online, and I found the Hawk pet bundle at Walmart, but they didn't have any other Wizard101 gift cards in stock at the time, though they did have some slots for them. I have no idea what those cards consisted of.

We don't have a Gamestop in our area, and I tried to find the cards at Gamestop's website, but they apparently do not sell the cards online. Toys R Us is much too far away (over an hour drive by car and the bus doesn't go there) and CVS and Rite Aid are much too inconvenient to get to with my limited transportation. I would love to have access to all the bundles as well, and the only way this could happen is if they were sold online.

I would imagine this is because KingsIsle (the company that makes this game) is located in the United States, so they would have a harder time getting these cards to retailers in other countries where the game is available. However they would easily be able to get the cards to American retailers.

Sorry Canadians (and other English speaking countries)!

Like Eggywig said It's harder to get these cards to other retail saling conturies so go on Amazon or something or Ebay.

To my fellow Canadians~ I finally received a reply from the card distributor! Not sure about other countries, but this is the case for us ATM:

"Hi Laura,

My name is Phillip Pidoux-Koronya, I work at InComm to help manage the Wizard 101 cards in Canada.I received your inquiry into the Majestic Bundle cards, I’m sorry to say that we don’t have those available in Canada at this time. Unfortunately I don’t have any news to share as to when the Majestic bundle or other bundle cards would be available in Canada. We’d love to carry them and will be working with Wizard 101 to see if we can change this in the future. Be sure to keep reading the Wizard 101 website, if anything changes that’ll be the first place to hear about it.

Perhaps Prof. Greyrose will have something to add to this. ;)
