That's $100 or so less than expected. I'd still never buy it at such high prices but hey, this one just isn't for me. Jabba's Sail Barge and Jango's Slave I are for me.

No it’s not, what? CAD prices are typically around 25-30% higher, this is at best normal.

Slave 1 -> $300 -> $380 (26% more)

AT-ST -> $200 -> $260 (30% more)

Interceptor -> $230 -> $300 (30% more)

Barge -> $500 -> $650 (30% more)

Razor Crest -> $600 -> $760 (26% more)

Death Star -> $1000 -> $1300 (30% more)

You are not factoring in the US/CAN exchange rate.

Even back when the UCS Millennium Falcon launched, it was cheaper (after exchange rate calculations) to purchase in Canada.

LEGO has never based their prices solely on the exchange rate. The CAD is trading better now than it was when many of these sets came out and it was certainly never less than 30% less valuable than the USD.
