why would you go to burlington? wouldn't you want to cross the border? anyways, yeah, these prices are quite outrageous, which is why I didn't buy any of my minis here (only bought the codex from GW in eaton centre). I ended up getting everything off ebay, and saved myself a good couple hundred dollars. I suggest you do likewise. Otherwise, just look up a GW on the US side of the border and go on over there (btw, I actually had the same problem with an amazing Tiger Direct laptop... it was $800 in the US, and $1100 over here, and with no option to ship here from the US... it was beslubbering bullamphetamine parrot)
