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.

Yup, the exchange rate bites (for us Canucks, at least).  See, John? Lego is
cheaper here!  <grin, duck>

reason to live in Edmonton...)
