Now available in Canada!

"fans across the United States — and, StarWars.com can exclusively reveal, in Canada, too!"

Hasbro sent out a PR blurb as well - I sent back a question to ask how shipping to Canada affects the price, but haven't heard back yet.

Excellent.  I bet that's good for a few hundred more pre-orders.

I was thinking about getting in on this. For those that have backed it, what was the final price Hasbro quoted you?

It's $499 + tax. In my part of Chicagoland, sales tax is 10%, however they charged me 6.5% for a total of $531 and change. So YMMV on what tax you actually get charged

$535 and change for me in MN with the tax (7.125%).

Mine was $531... I'm assuming they did the IL state sales tax of 6.5%, because the Chicago rate would have been higher.

Should have read all the replies first... I'm in the exact same boat. :)

I'm dead serious in that I would sign up immediately if they implemented a payment plan option. Hopefully that comes next!

Ok, $535 is less than I figured. Thanks guys! And yeah, I wish there was a payment plan, but I’ll probably just take the money out of savings. Well, some of it. The G.I. Joe Collectors Club offers a payment plan on their subscription figures, but those are made to order, not a crowdfund thing.

I'd rather not open a new credit card just for this though. Tryna be responsible in addition to supporting the cause!

I'm not a credit expert, but I would think a payment plan would work very similar to a new CC, so not sure why you're against one, but very much in support of the other.  In fact, the new CC would likely increase your credit rating because you have more immediate credit available.  Outside of not being able to control your spending habbits, I don't understand the difference for you.
