More than $200 as I purchased multiples of all of the TRU and Target exclusives.  It takes a considerable amount of time to comparison shop online and the shipping fees are high.  If I could find the products in stores locally I would spend at least the shipping fees on additional product, if not more.

I usually like to add more to the order to save on shipping.

I also don't like the Canadian packaging.  I like the the US packaging, so I order those instead.

If the Canadian packaging was exactly like the US,( ie with the English only file card on the back with the proper card art on the front) and it included the the french version of text on a piece of paper inside the packaging, then I would buy from Canada if it was avail.

I think another good question is: How much have you spent on US Joes because of supply?  In the past 2-3 weeks alone I have bought 45 Vipers, 20 Crimson Guards, 15 Python Officers. That's just army builders. That doesn't include named figures of which I have bought 2 waves (7/8).

If they were readily available in Canada, I would have bought them here.
