Anyone else notice Canadians are getting extra screwed with the exchange
rate on the new sets?

7779 Bat Dragster $15 CDN $10 US  (exchange 1.50)
7780 Bat Boat $30 CDN $20 US (exchange 1.50)
7781 Batmobile $45 CDN $30 US (exchange 1.50)
7782 Batwing $80 CDN $50 US (exchange 1.60!!!!)

I mean come on, the actual exchange rate is around 1.16!  Why does Lego
do this?  This exchange rate is even worse than it was a couple years ago!

Looks like I'll be buying all of the 2006 sets off of bricklink or from
other U.S. sources.  Even after shipping/duty it will work out cheaper
or about the same as a BOGOHP here in Canada.
