The reason is that the Canadian dollar has gone from 73¢ US to 83¢ US in the past year. That makes the current price difference seem particularly bad, but Hasbro isn't going to change their prices everyday because of fluctuations in currency rates. In fact, they'll just pocket the difference, and make even more profit. But the point is, it *feels* like we're paying more right now, based on the US price, and we are, but that is only temporary. When the Canadian dollar goes back down, the relative price difference will go down, too.

Nice. Did they offer these for preorder?
I've only seen them listed as out of stock.

Re: Hasbro Ghostbusters discussion

Hey there, I just discovered the existence of the Kenner Classics reissues... Do you guys think its worth it to pay premium to order them from Amazon.com or will they come back to Walmart.ca one day?

The 4 main characters were at retail last year and not easy to find. They have come and gone.

Re: Hasbro Ghostbusters discussion

I really wanted to support this line but the 4 main figures were impossible to find. Eventually I found Slimer and Stay Puft but I ended up returning them to Walmart because I still couldn't get the four guys.
