NOT SO!!! You forgot the GST for ordering from Shop@Home. They are
a registered "tax collector" of the Canadian Government. You still need
to calculate .07 additional on the 99.00 plus the $12 (shipping) in US
currency.
BTW, were you still looking for KK Axe Carts??? I bought 4 of them when I
was in the states this weekend. I also bought an old Amazon Adventure
set, and 2 mindstorm accessory sets (Extreme Creatures and Robosports).
They were on sharp 30% US discount (on sale for $35 US) - probably not
as cheap as some could have bought it, but you can't buy these particular
sets in stores or shop@home anymore. The RIS 2.0 was also 30% off, which
will be lower when the next version (if and when it) comes out, but that
might be my next purchase, and then I'll be close to being Mindstorm
complete, as far as the sets go.
