Because the movie toys are overpriced in Canada and this is the only way to move them probably.
TRU Exclusive Megatron and Skullitron are 20$ in the US
They are 40$ each in Canada
So choose, overpriced toys and sales once in a while or constantly affordable toys?

So in other words this is not a real sale. This is a "sell the figures for what theyre actually worth everyhere else" sale. Its nice TRU gives collectors a break in countries where the cost of living is somewhat greedy. (in my opinion) But calling it a sale is a bit of an exaggeration because TRU chooses to sell the toys at Canadian exaggerated prices instead of the US equivalent in Canadian currency. Thats on them. The Canadian government isnt forcing them to sell deluxes at $40 a piece. They choose to do it because you guys are willing to pay for them at inflated prices. Same thing goes for Australia. TRU is an American company so their price equivalents should be "American" no matter what country. Obviously they take advantage of foreign collectors. If I go to a currency exchange and give them $20 USD for the equivalent in Canadian (or Australian) currency, would I have enough to buy a Skullitron in a TRU in those countries? If the answer is no, then that means TRU is raping collectors with no Vaseline.

Say.... have Blitzy and Octane hit Canada yet?
I'm sure some of us would be willing to help... but... when was the last time you shipped something from Canada? I get a lot of stuff from the States, and shipping is cheaper from overseasQuantum Surge wrote:$85 bucks for MPM Prime is a pretty good deal. Shame I'm stuck here in the US with no real TRU close to me. Anyone want to step in and help a fellow Seibertronian?
