Re: Online store recomendations

CAD doesn't just turn into USD, there are fees involved. My post considered total cost. Paying in USD also ties you to the current CAD/USD exchange rate so you dollar is worth less USDs than say, JPYs (which is also suffering compared to the USD). I was speaking generally, but it is usually cheaper for Canadians (at least those paid In CAD) to pay in CAD.

Sucks about the wave 5 & 6 shortages.

Re: Online store recomendations

I've used Toys on fire twice now. Sure a little more expensive up front but they ship real fast. Now I don't think they have sky lynx in stock or too cheap but they should have wave 5 & 6 deluxes available. They are a canadian site too & deal in CAN $.

Yet there is no real difference, if anything the Canadian ones are more expensive.

They may be Canadian, but their site says they charge USD (at least for shipping, but why would only that be in USD??).

They want $39.99 for Onslaught plus shipping. That's crazy expensive especially if it's USD. Considering they have an Onslaught on Amazon.ca for $59.99 something tells me that the price on their website is USD.

Thanks all.

I ordered Onslaught from automation. I was also lucky enough to score the remaining two limbs I needed for retail price on amazon.ca

Cheers!

Re: Online store recomendations

There was that looooong winded post about Einstein stating that the Ontario sellers cost the same as everywhere else but the same as back then. He is still wrong. If you are in Toronto area. (Didn't look) look into slayback. He is an awesome guy with great prices. Been dealing with him for years now.

Ah. NL. not Ontario. One day Eric might start shipping things

I just pre-ordered the UW set for under $100 CAD when they went live I knew that this would happen.

pre order prices were around 9,500 yen to 10,000 yen when they went live a few weeks ago they are slowly climbing up though as we get closer to release. Amiami still has some here at a very close price to what it will cost you to buy Voyager Onslaught and the Shuttle mode Blast Off. Seeing as OS is going for $50 Cad and shuttle BO will be around Deluxe Groove price at $55 Cad once/if released
