I know the feeling. The deals and clearances they have in the States make me question how anyone can say things are expensive there.. Like I've seen videos of people hunting in Target and seeing Studio Series Leader Class Star Scream going on clearance for half the price as you said within weeks of release. It's just nuts lol.

Plus the US has 100x the population, so they make up in volume what we get.

Yeah I'm not expecting Stores to clearance one Finn sitting on the shelf. But when you have a whole shelf FULL of old figures that have been sitting there forever with no one even buying it, it just has me asking what's even the point? It's not even just Figures though wherever I go I never see anything on clearance ever. Doesn't matter what store. They will just sit on old product forever. I guess this is just the reality of Retail in Canada in 2020. Don't even get me started on those Black Friday and Boxing day "deals".
