Pokémon Diamond & Pearl DS Lite

I sure was hoping for seperate Diamond & Pearl DS Lites, not one combined, but it's kinda cool...I guess... I never wanted a DS Lite of that colour, but the Dialga and Palkia on the front might make it cool enough to order. I promised myself I'd get the limited edition and leaved it sealed until the games come out in English, to make the day extra-special. Maybe I'll warm up to it. ;D

Damn. That is one pretty DS Lite O.O

How much would that cost to import in Canadian verses one of the Lite's bought in the country? I was going to go for the Black Lite when it was released here anyways, but now I'm thinking it's worth getting THAT one instead. I've never imported such a thing before, though. What would be the best place to go about doing so?
 
Well, the price of the DS itself is just over $158 CND and shipping would probably $25 minimum, plus an unknown amount for having the package searched at customs ($10 or so). You're probably looking at an extra $30 or so in the end (you don't pay GST or PST, remember).

And, you have to wait an extra two weeks for the release and another two for order processing and shipping. ;)

Not a problem at all. I figured a Lite was going at cost me at least $200 in the first place ;D

I was also hoping for a website url to order it off of, if you have one handy. All I have to do now is convince teh parent to lend me her credit card...
 
If anyone sees anywhere to pre-order these, let me know. I just found out they're only going to be sold at Pokémon Center stores or through the Pokémon fanclub, which will make them hotter than an Entei. I fear I'll be looking at a $300 eBay purchase, but I'd rather not. ^_^;

I kinda figured that'd be the way of 'em. Too bad... I want one alright, but I won't pay that much more for one. Don't have the cash for it if I plan to buy everything else I want this year @_@
 
...Grr. Maybe they'll make something like it in the US. They did make all those spiffy SPs...*glares at Pokemon Center USA*

Sigh...if I tried to buy one of the Japanese ones, it would be bye-bye savings account.
