Lemme guess. American?
WELCOME TO THE CANADIAN PRICES! It was only a matter of time.
Just be glad that we are not paying European prices...

Yup I am. When I was a kid the equivilant of a deluxe was $4.99 so it's a bit disheartening that a deluxe these days are nearly $15 after taxes. I didn't really mind paying $10 for a deluxe because I believe that the quality is good enough to pay that price on most figures, but with the new Prime ones, they're really starting to get overpriced.
Give me one good reason why the commander class figures have been bumped up to $10. The only reason I can think of is because of that stupid dvd they included with them. It's even worse that when a month ago when Walmart first put out their Prime figures, they were at the DOTM price point, but for some reason when they put out wave 2 they've been bumped up $3.
Wait wait wait...
15$ AFTER taxes? And you DARE to complain? Here, in Canada, the regular price BEFORE taxes is 15$. It's even 16 or 17$, still before taxes. Add a15% of taxes...
I'm not talking about Zellers with their shelfwarming Generation figures at 20$+tax and the new RiD Prime figures at 25$+taxes.In Europe, the standard deluxe is 30$ plus taxes.
As for the commanders, they are 10$ plus taxes in Canada.
NO DVD AT ALL IS INCLUDED.
I think Hasbro and the retailers are tired to not make a dime of profit in the USA. So they slowly but surely reagust the super hyper cheap Amarican prices (almost at cost goddamit!) and they reajust them to the level of the rest of the world.
I just hope that by increasing the ever dirt cheap American prices, they would reduce the european prices a little to reach some kind of equilibrium.
