Arg! The yanks get them tax free!

I doubt "the yanks" will get any at all, but I could be wrong.  I
don't know if I'd expect a store to come through on what would have
to be back-breaking prices.

I've seen larger companies come through on obvious mistakes (like
Borders honoring its mistaken price on Spawn: The Ultimate
Collection - $17.99 instead of $48.99 - retail $69.99 (I got one))
but larger companies have a lot more to fall back on.

You could almost see a company having a fire sale on older
discontinued sets.  But new for this year Rock Raiders sets?
C'mon... this was more than likely a mistake that they'll have to
find some way to extract themselves from gracefully.
