Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings

That's because they're coming from Amazon.com, so you're paying the price of the exchange. I wouldn't support that. Wait for Amazon.ca to have them in stock or buy in store.

You'll have to help me out here. I know the reviews are from Amazon.com, but the listing states that the toys themselves are: Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca

So why would they come from .com? The problem is that the algorithm is based on looking at competitor sites for basis on price. And right now, both Walmart and Toysrus do not have these guys in stock, so they are not priced competitively. That's what I think is happening.

You're probably right. I thought that since they're not widely available, .ca was getting their figures from .com and selling them at a marked up value. Instead, it's the algorithm crap again. Also, 38 Prime is sold out...

Not a shock that SS38 didn't last, he was $10 over retail with Free Shipping. The price of gas is insane right now. Well worth the overage.
