Hi pumpernickel,

I called a computer game store in Toronto and apparently Dogz 4 has
been unavailable in your city for quite some time - the good news is
Dogz 5 is supposed to be released in time for Christmas.

Will you accept a source for Dogz 4 other than in Ontario (but
available by mail) and other than brand new? I have found some
available, but not in Toronto.

I'll wait to hear from you.

Thanks,
hummer

Hi Pumpernickel,

I was able to find a copy for you at a chain called the Electronics
Boutique.  The only Toronto location of the chain that had a copy  in
stock was their Yorkdale location.

Unit 121, Yorkdale Shopping Ctr
3401 Dufferin St
North York,ON
M6A 2T9

Telephone: (416) 785-5484  Toll free: (800) 800-5166
 
I talked to someone named Nick this morning.  They only had one copy
of Dogz 4 in stock, I asked them to put a hold on it under the name of
'Peter' (I was going to use 'Peter Nickel' but they didn't need a last
name).  You are under no obligation to purchase the game but the
single copy will be held under that name until 9pm Monday night.  The
price is $14.99 Canadian.

As you may know, Dogz 4 is a discontinued product which is what makes
it difficult to find.  Toys R Us for example hasn’t received a
shipment since February 4th of this year and they are showing an
inventory of negative 1 across all of Canada.
 
While your question did specifically ask for version 4, you may be
interested to know that version 5 has already been released and
Electronics Boutique expects to receive their inventory mid to late
next week.  The cost of Dogz 5 will be $39.99 Candian.

Good work, Google1! You dug deep for that one!

Just for your info, pumpernickel, here is the link to a copy in
Manitoba -

1. Ebay: Manitoba (starts C$1.56, no bids last time I checked):
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1940324044

Unfortunately, the auction ends Nov 26, after the Monday deadline of
the game Google1 found you.  There are others on Ebay also, but they
are in the States.

I do appreciate the prompt action on my behalf. Two little girls in
Cape Town ( South Africa) where I will be visiting soon, will be made
very happy indeed!
