Why the $10 markup over US prices? I haven't been watching, but the dollar is still just about par.

I thought that we were over that...

I think they're $24.99 at Toys'R'Us in the US if that helps. :)

Probably more of a TRU using higher price points across the board then a US Vs CDN dollar.

EDIT: I just checked their website and confirmed that they are sold for $24.99 in the US.  Link

I've picked both of my DVD sets up at Target @ $19.99.

Its nice to see them show up in Canada, but for the extra $10, I'm gonna continue to get mine in the USA. Sure I can buy an extra figure out of the difference in price...

I got both for $35 at the Fan Expo...  I guess $17.50 each, then.

Saw them at my local comic shop for $29.  Was a little surprised at the price

We have them up for 27.99 each or both for 50.99
the price is because of the the duty and taxes we had to pay.

Toys R us in St. Catharines:  It was crazy busy!!  I guess they were opening their babies r us section and we giving away $5.00 gift cards!  They had a bunch of single figs (sorry I didn't really look to see which ones).  They also had the DVD sets - I picked up the stalker/snakes eyes/baroness/cobra trooper set - I?m just about top pop the DVD in!

I have a quick question - the other DVD set comes with only 3 figures and a "piece" - what is that piece?  Is it for the M.A.S.S. device?

Thanks

Each DVD Set comes with a piece of the MASS Device.  So far, only two sets are on the market, but when the other three come out, they'll contain the rest of the pieces to make the device.

The DVDs are awesome, by the way!  Ah, nostalgia.

once you have the whole mass device you can connect the weather dominator on top of it replacing the crystal and arm from the mass device.
