Price of Tyranid Battleforce at GW Cdn Site = $130 CDN
Price of Tyranid Battleforce at GW US Site = $105 US = $100 CDN
Best Price I can find online at a Canadian Store = $117 CDN
Best Price I can find online at a US Store = $95 USD = $90.60 CDN

Yargh. This pricing disparity is from the 90s... Even if I were to order from the US, I'll be dinged by shipping and duty.

FLGS (if possible), eBay or an online store that offers GW stuff at a discount.

I'm not sure which one is best for Canada though, might be Warstore, but not sure. They made all the prices even a while ago then forgot to continue to balance them as their currancyy changes, except they keep it fair by giving everyone a price increase at the same time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2754941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2754941.page GMT GW Pricing will be the death of me... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2754992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2754992.page GMT GW Pricing will be the death of me...

Makes you feel any better you can get it for $97 from GW UK.

The best part about that is GW wont let you order from the GW US site and ship to Canada, despite the fact that every order comes from Memphis anyway.

You can order the same thing and pay the same shipping and is shipped out of the same place but they want to charge you $25 more because you're in Canada. Last time it took GW 2 years to adjust to the strong Canadian dollar and the 3 days to adjust it back when it dropped to .90 cents. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2755025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2755025.page GMT GW Pricing will be the death of me... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2755376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2755376.page GMT GW Pricing will be the death of me...

Nothing to account for a 30%+ difference in prices.

I personally order from Maelstrom or Wayland games in the UK.

Bought a Zoanthrope at the local GW; $30 Canadian
Bought 2 Zoans and a Carnifex from Maelstrom; $74 Canadian, had to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive, but it's worth saving $50+.

It's a disparity between Canadian and American pricing from when our dollar was worth .75 instead of 1.05. Pricing hasn't adjusted to keep up. It happens with everything from miniatures to books and video games to cars. It's cheaper for me to buy a plane ticket to the US, buy a new vehicle and drive it back by several thousand dollars (there's legal issues with doing this though...stupid international trade laws!) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2755403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/366168/2755403.page GMT GW Pricing will be the death of me...
