There's NO reason (not even licensing) that TRU should be charging that much for the set. There's nowhere near enough stuff in that box to justify the cost.

Well your Canadian sales tax ridiculously high.

Um...the sales tax is 6% where I live, and the fact that CDN and US cash is almost at par right now makes the prices difference really hurt the wallet. I could have bought it online, paid the exchange and shipping and still saved money. :S

Another brilliantly funny post.

My Walmart must have seen your letter, for I was able to purchase one for the everyday low price of $24.99

TRU has it at 30$ here as does target.
Mjier has it at 26$
Wal-Mart has it at 25$
Local gaming store has it for 40$

Naw I really got it for $29.99 at TRU.

Man, you got me champrjk!

I haven't been to a kb in years and I was thinking I better check 'em out.

Got mine at TRU $24 with the coupon.

Woohoo for me!

I got wave 7 + Marvel from Housemouse weeks ago, and if Marvel's actually selling for $50 here, then that means it was CHEAPER for me to order online from the states and pay the shipping than it would have been for me to just walk into TRU and buy off the shelf and pay GST + PST. Plus Housemouse gets everything months before Canadian TRUs

(Of course I only ended up saving $3-4, but still...)

Like $24 at Walmart in the East.
