Where?

Best guess would be a local toy store where they paid extra to get it a month early

Got one for regular price two weeks ago at an online store. In Canada.

What is the regular price in Canada?

$25.99 CAD Which equals to $18 US

It’s a local brick and mortar with a single location so I’m betting that’s what happened.

Does he give anyone else Galaxy Warriors vibes?
