Can anyone here explain to me why figures on amazon.ca are so friggin expensive compared to amazon.com? Like am i missing something here? Yes, it's quite simple. The .com is American and the .ca is Canadian, and Canada always has the more expensive price no matter what the item is compared to the USA. True lol but some things are just ridiculous. Like even before the exchange rate went to hell, Amazon.ca still have ridiculous overpriced prices. Like I remember a few years ago there was a Mattel Rock (don't remember what series) that was on Amazon.com for $39.99. And it was on Amazon.ca for the whopping price of $159.99.

This is something that ticks me off too as I find in Canada there aren't very many places to buy older figs except for ebay which is crazy expensive. I have been looking for some figs from the Legends line but they are impossible to find, only place I have found is ebay but those are priced too high and with the dollar so low I don't bother going there at all anymore.
The reason Amazon.ca is more expensive is because most of the figs on their are being sold by third parties NOT Amazon. In the USA, Amazon sells stuff themselves and these figs sell for regular retail prices. I don't understand why they don't sell anything themselves on the Canadian site?! The TRU & Walmart sites are not all that great so Amazon is missing out IMO, if they had stuff for sale at the same price levels that you find at retail stores they would be doing good business. The Mattel figures have increased in popularity since I started collecting a year ago from what I have seen, its time Amazon.ca joins the party and starts selling these figures.

I could listen to you preach all day my brudda!!! I was just wondering do you have to pay the conver rate if you buy from amazon.com? And what about the free shipping would they ding me cross boarder charges to canada? In a nut shell i find it ridiculous that amazon.ca hasnt jumped on the bandwagon yet i mean how is it fair to them stinky mericans and we get treated like a step child? I think im just gonba boycott their asses until they get their act together!! For now ill just keep supporting TRU becuase if we dont and they pull outta canada were screwed!

Yes, you do because amazon.com items are priced in US dollars. I am not sure about the free shipping, I am fairly new to Amazon, the only things I have purchased thus far are a few wrestling DVD's from Amazon.ca. I was looking at getting a fig from Amazon.com at one point last year but didn't go through with it as it was too expensive with all the fees they were charging.
TRU doesn't list much on their website I find, although I think they do it on purpose because they want you to shop in store. I noticed that the figs they have for sale on their site are ones that haven't sold or stuff they have excess stock of, rarely do you see new products for sale on the website, they are only sold in store.

Finally found basic 57 in Winnipeg @walmart Polo Park. There were two of everybody. Would have grabbed Balor but ordered him online.I checked every fig there and noticed that none of the boys show Paige on the back however her carding does... kind of weird I thought!

So apparently us Canadians will now be able to watch Lucha Underground Wrestling. The TLN Network got the rights to it, and Sunday, January 31st at 10 pm it will air.
So that now makes the 5th wrestling promotion we get to watch in Canada. WWE, TNA, ROH, Paragon Pro Wrestling and now Lucha Underground.

Not the biggest fan of the storytelling style of Lucha Underground, but more pro wrestling variety is definitely a good thing. Now I just have to remember when Impact Wrestling is on TV. I always forget to check Fight Network's schedule.

Lucha Underground is a great show and I hope Season 2 is better. Everyone should be able to get TLN since it's in the 30's.

You'll still be able to watch it on YouTube the next day or download it before it airs on that channel. It'd be fine if i already had it but i won't be paying morw money to get it when we can all watch for free.

Picked up the APA and Dolph Ziggler in the past week.. With the way things are going I'd imagine elite 40 will be hitting soon, poor wallet doesn't get a break
