Does anyone know whether No Maps is available aywhere but the Robot Store? Google doesn't seem to know. The reason I ask is that the cost of shipping to Canada is more expensive then the cost of the DVD.

Thanks
Bill

In US dollars the Robot Store charges are:

Product Total $24.95
Shipping Total $37.46
Grand Total $62.41
+ Tax (15%)
+ exchange (1.60)

Equals a Canadian Dollar amount of $114.83

That's one expensive DVD.

YeeOUCH!

That's some serious change passing hands. I wouldn't even pay the asking price for the LotR DVD set up here, no matter how many times I hear people raving on and on about it. Sorry, no, I'll wait for it to end up on the $6.99 and up bargain shelves at Walmart, the way that Farscape DVD did...heh heh heh. There are advantages to being a cheap bastard, no matter what the baby boomers try to tell you, usually with much screaming, tears and frustration ensuing mightily.....But that's just my opinion.....

(But just in case Walmart never carries it, I think I'll google up this Robot Store anyway. Don't tell me you can actually order Robbie online...?)

Yeah, the RobotStore cahrge far too much for the postage of this particular artifact. I'd happily let them use the US Postal service airmail to get it to me, but they only want to use one of those damned privatised courier firms.
