Case in point, the TRU Exclusive Black Series FO Snowtrooper with orange pauldron.
On the US site, the figure is the same price as the rest of the Black Series figures: $19.99.
Now, on the Cdn site, all Black Series figs are $24.99. A reasonable jump in price given the exchange rates, and it's something we are used to.
But then, that "exclusive" FO Stormtrooper. $29.99. What the hell!
Errors in pricing or just deliberately gouging the Canadian toy collector?

Gouging. Even worse, look at NECA stuff. $21.99 or so at .com, $34.99 at .ca (apparently from what they pay it's around a 75% markup). .ca seems to be trying to make bigger profits per item, I guess due to the weak dollar.
Definitely a little nuts trying to charge $29.99 for the Trooper just because it's an exclusive.
