HA! Dream on. Nowadays the TF prices have skyrocketed. That damn YOTG Lazer Optimus was 200$CAN, the Insecticons were 120$CAN, and Soundwave was 220$CAN. It wouldnt surprise me if that thing could go for 200$CAN at the very least. Even 300$CAN is not out of the question.
Really?
Its $139.99US for G2 Laser OP on BBTS, Shipping wouldn't be more than 10 or 20 more.
Insecticons $89
Soundwave $149.99.
and BBTS is known to be one of the higher priced online stores.
I think wherever you are getting your figures from in Canada is severely hiking up the prices.
I'd be surprised if it went for more than $150US.
I blame TrU Canada's monopoly and the sheetee CAN$. Also, of the prices I told before, add another 15% in sales taxes.
Me, ordering these from BBTS wouldnt be better. I take from example, Soundwave.
Full price from TrU Canada: 220$+15%tx = 252.95$CAN.
So, that mean 190.50$US as I write this.
Soundwave from BBTS: Price plus shipping is 170.60$US. Add around 30$CAN in guaranteed custom fees and it amount to 193.30$US. So, ironically, from buying it ON SALE from BBTS, I end up paying MORE than full TrU price.
Finally, cheapest is
Yahobby at only 120$US plus 24$ shipping, plus 23$US custom fees. Meaning 163$US total. That's on super sale BTW.
So, yeah, Platinum prices are hicked as fok, no matter where you buy them.
