did Lego finally listen?

Post by soundwave »

Interesting that two new sets on Shop at Home -the VW camper $119 USD and Christmas Post office $69 USD are both only $10 more at the Canadian prices. I was expecting the VW to be at least 150. Does this mean the gap is finally going to be more reflective of two currency's positions?

dare i mention the new super star destroyer $399 USD vs $499 CAD kinda torpedoes the above observation :?

I was noticing the same thing about the VW camper. Wonder if they'll adjust the rest of those $99 US sets (Emerald Night and Medieval Market to name a couple) to be only $10 more in Canadian dollars. I'd rather spend the $$$ in Canada than the US and it would save me a few hours for the round trip.

Finally, we can have somewhat similar prices to the US. Tired of the $20+ markups in Canada.
