I'm very happy that both are deluxes at deluxe prices, no overcharges, and they are not exclusives.

I'm surprised these sold out at BBTS already. I thought they'd at least get a few days out of them. I guess that shows how popular these are with collectors, probably the best place to buy online with proper packing.

I'm genuinely pissed. I was out of town this weekend, and by the time I got back, everyone was sold out except Pulse, who only had Bone Shakers left.
edit - Nevermind, Found them on Amazon.

If you live near the border, could you purchase in Canada & bring it back to the US without attracting additional fees? Or put it on an aerial balloon crossing the border & hope it doesn't get shot down.

The price is 14% higher in the US than in Canada, where they are sold at the standard deluxe MSRP, and it is unsure if it’s because of tariffs, which have also seen price increases for Lego sets sold to US customers, or if the Amazon.ca price is a fortunate mistake.

Goddamit, Aussies, your end of the stick is so short, there's no stick left.
50$CAN for a freaking deluxe at the base price. Without taxes. Holy crap.

Nothing new to us Aussies, unfortunately. The only 'upside' is the price is inclusive of all taxes.

Still more expensive than the rest, but it's much better than I thought.
Canada and the USA should follow Australia and Japan in including the sales taxes in the displayed price. But noooooo, it's too hard to do. I blame the fact that most states and provinces have their regional tax on top of the federal one, making things "complicated."

I'm curious if the quick, high uptake of these will be resold on ebay & the like?!

It's a bit of a digression, but ...
I don't think it's "too hard" at all. I think the deceptive marketing practice is exactly the point. They don't want us to know exactly how much it really costs. It's not that they can't. It benefits them to give us sticker shock.

Well it's NO surprise to me that Twin Mill sold out over Bone Shaker....way cooler of the two! The only flaw right now about Twin Mill is the name.

shoulda gone with something way better. I think he will look good paired up with Sidburn with fans choice of mold....'nuff said!!!

It's a little easier with the internet, but back when all advertised prices were done in print it would be a logistic nightmare for retailers. Every national catalogue and flyer would have to be printed specifically for each sales tax rate instead of one for the entire country. The US and Canada were just too big with too many tax variations to make that work back in the day and we just got used to it.
