DOTM toys at toysrus.ca

Title says it all...

Some Human Alliance, some Cyberverse stuff and even the Bumblebee and Prime 3D movie masks.

Good find! I should mention though that if you look at the DOTM toy pages, each shows "Estimated ship date May 15th", so you can order today but they won't ship until the 15th (and thus arrive no earlier than the 16th at people's houses).

C$45 for HA? WTF TRU? They are $30 USD.

Basics are $16 with a tiny human?

Scoundrels.

Ah yes, but the new HA's make you coffee and send roses to your wife/gf/both. Price is now justified.

I would pay double for those features.

Here's an email response. Prepare to be entertained

"Thank you for contacting RUs.ca regarding the Transformers - Mechtech
Human Alliance - Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee. I understand your concerns
with the pricing on this item, and I am happy to explain.

There are several factors that influence the price of Canadian retail
goods and may cause the variation in price between the Canada and US
online stores. These factors are associated with freight costs, import
duties and taxes, and language translation for product packaging.
Additionally, the manufacturer's cost, resulting from lower volumes of
product and the higher cost of labour, may also play a role in pricing.
Because of these higher costs, we are not always able to meet the retail
prices seen in the US."

For pricing, there always have argument between retailers and customers in Canada vs US. I should have learned from my mentor and brought those new HA on ebay which was even cheaper for HA last month than retailers here...
