For those who import Dragonball products

Thought this was important for those of you who import Dragonball merchandise from Japan. The exchange rate for the Yen to the dollar is about 96 to 1. While these may seem unimportant now, the dollar is losing value every week. Sooner or later it will become too expensive to import those Dragonbox singles or those awesome figures. So buy now if you can.

In other news, the Canadian dollar is staying strong despite the US dollar falling. One dollar CAD is currently worth almost $1.02 USD.

In still other news, as a Norwegian living in the US, I'm technically growing richer and richer every second by sitting on my ass watching the dollar sink.

Wait, the Canadian dollar is *really* above the U.S. dollar now? ALL THOSE BOOKS AND THEIR LIES!

Damn. This news sucks dragon balls. I buy a lot of imports; not just DVDs. And I was planning on getting the rest of the Dragon Boxes (or singles) soon when I've saved up enough cash.

The world is coming to an end............for us Americans.

My hair wonders if this is a reference to something.

Anyway, I'm glad that I'm not really looking to import anything at the moment. But at least now it's much easier to convert from dollars to yen...

Go Australia!, we totally don't suck for once!

It really was the perfect time for me to sweep up all the US singles

For a nice concrete example, check out the order form for the DBZ CD-BOX Chouzenshuu @ CDJapan. 19000 Yen is $193.84 USD but only $191.84 CAD.

I just saved two bucks.

Cheaper on YesAsia.

Damn, I have no job right now and I'm not in college, I want to buy all these expensive Dragon Ball things, and the Dr. Slump DVD boxes too! LIFE IS CRUEL!

I wish people would read before starting the exact same topics.

Yeah the Canadian Dollar is very strong at the moment, not as strong as it was in November, but still very strong!

Since I live in Winnipeg, the US border is only a 45 minute drive, so half the time we load up a car of people, and goto Grand forks for those great American prices! Everything is over priced here in Canada plus PST and GST (2 Taxes).

Yahoo Japan Auctions have some good priced D-Boxes at the moment. To be honest, lately I've been eying down those Spain DVD releases.

None of this matters to me because I'll just wish for all the money I want with the dragon balls.

... dangit

Don't forget the SouthPark miniseries "Imagination Land!"! Join me, and I'll let you have one of the wishes!

Just for reference... wasn't this topic the first of the "dollar is dying!" topics?

Yes it was. I was alarmed because I closely watch the dollar and how it's doing against foreign currency.
