It can be hard but I wrote it down in the post to help you guys out, here it is again. We get screwed on our toy prices all the time anyway in Canada with them being more than the converted rate.
Current Sale Prices:
Deluxes are $13 USD, so 17 CAD instead of 35 CAD if bought locally (you save $18 per deluxe)
Voyagers are $20 USD, so 25 CAD instead of 48 CAD if bought locally (you save $23 per voyager)
And the Jurassic park set is only $63 USD so 80 CAD instead of 138 CAD if bought locally (you save $58)

One isn't an indication of another. This sale is directly from Hasbro (the supplier). You can't compare to any other standard retailer, since this is basically a warehouse sale. They can afford to sell at 40% off (unlike any of our retailers) since their product cost is at least 50% cheaper than any retailer. Like imfallenangel posted, we might get some ridiculous short lived clearance sales from walmart, but we can't know for sure if the toys on sale at hasbro now will be there (or if we'll be quick enough to get anything).
