Honestly, Canada has less choice of soakers than U.S. . This is because Canada has a lack of places to buy soakers without ordering on the internet. The US has KB toys, Kmart and Target, plus Toys r' us and others. Walmart is in both US and Canada. Canada Has Canadian Tire, Toys r' us, and Zellers (along with Walmart) but they have cruddy selections. I wish they made a worldwide soakers only store! My grandparents are going to Florida soon, and I'm asking them to get a soaker (The CPS 4100) so I can't wait! ^_^

The US may have more soakers in stores, but in Canada they have better soakers from what I hear. Whenever I go to a store to buy some soakers, there are little or none left. I went to Wal*Mart one day, and all they had was a couple Max-D's and like 3 EES soakers, or basically, nothing I wanted. Some people say that you can still buy the 98s in Canada.
Have fun with your 4100.

As I can see, some of the commanders here perfer using pretty heavy weapons. Being a 13 year old and all, I think the CPS 4100 is the biggest I should go (I have never used a soaker with a nozzle above a times five! . I hear on other sites that splashzookas are recommended, too. At Toys r' us, I saw a monster XL. To me, that thing is huge! I wouldn't even think of using that in combat (Well maybe if I was older....). Even the monster X seems too big. I'm going to start using mods on my guns more, so keep posting them! See ya!

KB toys, Kmart and Target, Wallmart and Zellers usually only sell Max-Ds and EES. CPS 2100 and CPS 4100 sometimes. And from what I read on the internet and online stores the majority of Water guns in the US are small Storms, Max-Ds and EES soakers. Toys'R us still has the best selection of Soakers in USA and Canada. But the rare stuff can mostly be found in Canadian Tire.
I bought my CPS 1000, CPS 1500 and Monster X in Canadian tire, while I bought my 2 Monster XLs in Toys R us. I bought my CPS 2100 at London Drugs while I bought the Max-D SS at Zellers.

One time, I was biking around and I saw a garage sale. I rode up the driveway and saw a CPS 1000, in perfect condition, lying on one of the back tables. Man, I seriously should carry 20 bucks of pocket money from now on, 'cause that was a once in a blue moon deal! (Oh, by the way, it was priced at only $20.00 CAN.) I hope that another sale will happen like that, since I always carry extra money now!

Today is was in a Fortinos food centre and they had Max-D 5000s and XP 110s on the shelves and BOTH went for $7.40 canadian. I was amazed to see a stockpile of discontinued XP 110s hogging all the shelving room. My sis is going to try to get the 5000, while I purchase the rare XP 110.

You're lucky. They don't sell anything where I live. And I mean nothing. No super soakers at all. At K Mart there is the occassional xp 70 but that's it. One day I walked into WalMart and I saw lying amongst the junk a brand new CPS 4100! It was like a miracle from god.
