I've searched high and low for this bag ever since I saw a picture of it posted on tPF in December 2009. It was love at first sight, and I knew I needed this right away, but it was too late and the bag was sold out in stores already. I've tried eBay and trusted resellers, I missed a few opportunities when I was dead broke and kicked myself for missing out. I've considered settling for a M/L and there have been a few on eBay but I had my heart set on the jumbo.
There was, however, a jumbo listed on Bonanzle for quite a few months, and due to the higher-than-normal price, it was available for a long time. One day, I finally decided to get it. Even at the higher price, it was still under current Canadian retail, and I knew that if my SA had called me to tell me they randomly got one in store, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. So, while I paid higher than original retail for this, I still got it for under current Canadian retail...and I couldn't be happier
I'm still uploading pics...let's start with how I managed to skip customs charges, shall we??
The seller wrapped the box in birthday wrapping paper...and it appears that she forgot to declare the item's value!!
