Voyagers (and that exclusive fossilizer triceratops) is only $20 USD, so 25 CAD instead of 48 CAD if bought locally
And the Jurassic park set is only $63 USD so 80 CAD instead of 138 CAD if bought locally
I bought 3 voyager priced figures, 5 deluxes and the Jurassic Park set for a total of 323 CAD shipping and taxes included.
If bought locally, that would have been 525 CAD taxes included.
So I just saved $200 CAD, so 40% off the local prices.
Plus I now have a Pulse exclusive that was never available here.

Well that's just it... it really depends on how much you're getting before it hits that number of turning into the savings, but how many are going to be spending over 200-300$ to make the most of it.
I considered getting a Titan (Ark or BZ) but both have issues that for me I'd have to get the kits to fix them, so I just stopped considering either of them.
If they had a few older figures, I probably would consider getting more, but when even the three I selected are "pushing" it for me (one that I already have, one that I'd get if cheap enough, and one that was a "sure, I need to hit that 75$") it kills it.
But anyways, my post is just to provide the perspective that the deal doesn't add up that much with just the minimal 75$ worth of figures (of 2 Voyagers and 1 deluxe) and that one needs to consider a large enough purchase to truly take advantage of it.
Considering that we've had sales that took Voyagers and deluxes at anywhere from 5$ - 14$ -20 $ -24$ in the last year, it might be worth it to hope for such sales for any "maybe" figures.
