I don't think that's how it works. A weak dollar means that Lego should charge US consumers more, not less.

But here's what Lego has to say about it today:

The Canadian dollar is worth 97 US cents right now, but none of our prices have changed, AT ALL. I'm pretty sure that they sell stuff at such a high price here because they can get away with it, but they can't in the States. Everything in America should go up in price right now, but it's not.

Gas is. So is the price of bellybutton lint, and little fuzzy hamster spleens.

yeah, you can complain about paying $4.50/gallon all you want, but if you lived in the UK, you'd be paying over $10/gallon

We should invent hamster powered cars. Then we wouldn't have to worry about gas prices!
