What's toy shopping like in Vancouver, BC? Just looking for anything the US doesnt have. I assume ill only see what's near the airport train stations, but sadly no time for the remaining Toys R Us which is nearly 30mi away.

TRU is dead here, the last one in BC was shut down last week because they defaulted on the rent.
Ages 3 And Up is your best bet for imports and some secondhand stuff. Otherwise if you were going further away from the airport I'd recommend Toy Traders, they seem to have everything

There's Ages Thee and Up, they have two locations. Either one is fine. They're largely domestic action figures with a smattering of imports for wild prices.
Hobby Bee is another. This one is my favourite, but it entirely deals in imports. Statues, action figures, gunpla.
Toyka Collectibles is a decent one in Richmond, with J-Toys Collectibles nearby. The former has a smaller selection, but they get stuff that the other stores don't. For example, they're the only ones I find to get the Storm Arena figures.
Then there's Sakura Media in Metropolis by Metrotown. They also opened a location downtown recently. Mostly gunpla, model kits, and statues with the smallest selection of action figures.
P-Rex Hobby exists, but I believe they're pickup only, with locations in Richmond and North Van. Prices for them are the highest in the Vancouver area, but their selection is also extensive.
