Battle Packs?

$17.99 in Canada >:-( !

That's about the worst price out there. With sales tax, these things are about $20.00 a pop. I'm sorry, but when I can get these figs for cheaper on Bricklink that's just sad. For me, this is definitely no sale. LEGO just doesn't like Canada. I don't mind paying prices comparable to Europe or the rest of the world, but why should we have to pay even more?!

$13 for 5 minifigs makes no sense. The Tic-Tac-Toe set had 10 armored and equipped figs for $15. I fully expected $10 for the Castle BP, given licensed SW ones run 4 figs and pieces for $10. $13 is a rip-off in comparison.

20 bucks. Hmmm... not bad, not bad... guess I'll just cut back on Dwarf's Mine Defences. X-D

$20NZ is just reasonable, although you can still get 2 crossbow attacks for the same price, giving you one more fig plus 2 ballistae and 2 horses :-/ I honestly don't think I'll buy even one of these though, seeing as only really 2 regular soldiers in each set, and the rest are either generals/knights. That and the fact that in the good pack, there is one archer with a flared helmet and one archer with hand weapons. They are good, but I've already got plenty of crownies and skellies and I don't want more archers and generals than soldiers :-$

EDIT: Looking at the US prices, it's $3 more than a SW battlepack and only has one more fig (who aren't licenced either) and has no bricks for vehicles. :-/

If these had been under $10 USD I would've picked up a few, but that's too expensive for me. The Star Wars BP's were $10 and have four figs and ok vehicles.
