I wish I had 6% sales tax.
Here it's 7.75% in Southern California, and higher closer to Los Angeles. But those were some great deals you got!

You should try the staggaring 8.25% sales tax in Fort Worth, TX! You think you have it bad in California! Luckily in Arlington, near Fort Worth, where I live, the sales tax is somewhat lower.Originally posted by Bel-Cam Jos

Man...you guys certainly have high taxes in the USA compared to here in good ole Canada eh! How about 15% Canadian dollars on top of Canadian prices! That's about $9.00 per figure + 15% = $10.35 for 1 figure. Not to mention that the Anniversary packs are selling for $25.00...not the $14.95 like in the USA. So quit the belly aching about tax!Originally posted by Deoxyribonucleic

Yeah, but doesn't $10.35 equal something like $2 in US$?Originally posted by Darkross

Not quite! Even if it did... it's not like I have US $$$ to buy stuff here in Canada. For Americans...it is a very good deal for them to buy Canadian products because of the exchange.Originally posted by Mandalorian Candidat

We Canadians still pay alot more for stuff than you Americans! That's the point I was trying to make! Our dollar is worth less (a lot less nowadays) than the US dollar and thus we are taxed more to pay for services etc... which means I (along with the rest of us Canadian Collectors) have alot less cash to spend on SW figs...especially if the good stuff never comes to Canada (i.e. FX-7 Wave, Teebo Wave, Tie Bombers, and those blasted "Target Exclusives" etc...)"The darkside of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be...unnatural"

Let's see, using current conversion rates:
$25 (CAD) = $15.66416 (USD)
$10.35 (CAD) = $6.48496 (USD)
$9.00 (CAD) = $5.63910 (USD)
So, if I buy a POTJ figure in Canada, AFTER taxes it will cost me $6.49 (rounding UP).
US prices per POTJ figure AFTER taxes (in Kentucky at 6.00%):
Wal-Mart $6.82 (USD) = $10.89 (CAD)
TRU $7.41 (USD) = $11.83 (CAD)
Or 25th Anniversary sets BEFORE taxes:
Target $15.99 (USD) = $25.54 (CAD)
TRU $16.99 (USD) = $27.13 (CAD)
So, um, where's the deal?
Even in Kentucky, with a small 6.0% tax rate figures cost more than up north.
Even at our cheapest store, Wal-Mart, we pay 54 cents more per figure, USD (at 6.0% sales tax)! Or that would be 86 cent CAD more per figure.
