Jeez!  I thought the US prices were bad.  This side of the border they're
US$15 and US$20, respectively.  I wonder why the price for 6095 goes up so
much when you go north?  You'd think that the % increase would be roughly
the same...

Actually, at current exchange rates, USD 20 = CAD 29.40, and USD 15 = CAD
22.05. So actually, the Royal Joust is about equivalent, and the Guarded
Treasure is cheaper.

Not that it's not expensive in either country.
