So i rolled up to TRU today and shockingly they had Mattels(Im from Canada and we NEVER get anything at the same time) I was quite excited considering ALL of the 1st series were there... Then I looked at the prices and was floored, $18 cnd for Basics, Flex force 16$, $24 for Elite 20$ for and 35 for 2 packs! normally the 3 packs from Jakks were like 25$, deluxe 16$ Classics 15$ and RA 11$, and to top it all off they marks up the old Jakks stuff and took 5$ off! any one else seen this? and wid the exchange rate and S&H it would just be easier to order from ringside?

Yeah, I have no idea why Mattel jacks the price up for Canada, but it's really a problem.

So what you're saying is that your stores chose to overprice these figures, as it is the individual chains of stores and NOT the manufacturer that sets pricing on action figures. Thus, what you are "NOT IMPRESSED!" with is actual the ridiculous pricing done by your local stores...?

Those prices are crazy. The figures themselves are unreal though.

Hrmm not sure where in Canada you are from but the price of those two packs are wrong. I was at TRU in Hamilton Ontario and bought the full series, they were 23.99 each. Basics were 14.99 each and same with Flex Force.
No Elites so didnt get a price, but from what I've heard they are 18.99 each.
Basically if you are CAnadian it is cheaper to buy singles through RSC (even if you include the exchange rate and shipping)

I guess that is something they save on.
Everything in Canada is more expensive but that sucks that they are a lot more expensive.

Im not impressed by the figures at all. The prices are still ok to me, considering we pay way more over here.
