149 in the U.S.
219 in Canada

From all the discussion on eurobricks I am not sure there will be any left for North America ... ;) I would love to have a copy of this one to put away for 50 years. IT would be very interesting to have achallenge to flesh out city hall and the cinema to full dimension ... I am really enjoying the n...

Just thought I would add a note that I saw on Bricklink:

"i just wanted to let you all know that Eric Brok, designer of set 10190 and

Sad to lose a brilliant designer.

Seems kind of stupid to price so dramatically differently. It is impossible to develop a Canadian market if you are consistently charging 30 to 40% higher in Canada. How do you expect to get people buying? That is why MB was able to make such big inroads into the market. All this being said, who do ...

SNOT, Bley,Tiles- I don't mind- They are going in a really good direction for sets lately. I will need willpower in the extreme not to go bankrupt over the next year...

Hi Guys, I wish I was able to get to Portland with you - I need to sell more Lego in my store ... Oh well. I would really be interested in getting the corner cafe at a discount if one of you could purchase me one. The train sounds very good too, but I have to choose between the two. Let me know if t...

Hello All, Here is some information about one of the teams from one of the first Lego League Teams here in Victoria: "Our team is from Victoria, this year there are 7 members – 2 little ones (9 yrs) and 5 bigger ones; the oldest at 13. There will be one team from St. Margaret´s School, and mayb...

Wow that is one I saw discussed on Bricklink just a moment ago as well.
It looks like one of those must haves. The conjecture on price is around $140 US - with a release date of March 10 -wonder what it will be in Canadian?

Check out the new(I think) electrical charge piece being used by the wizard staff and on either side of the doorway of the skull castle.
Have I been asleep or is this a new piece?

So this sells for $500 US - with current conversion that is $579. I think I should ask Lego what the extra hundred is for? Even with shipping it would be cheaper to buy in the US.
I wonder if there is a way to get Lego to more realistically price Canadian versions.
