Looks like we won’t have to go to Toshi Station to pick up one of the most anticipated Blu-ray boxsets to grace the high-def media. Star Wars: The Complete Saga is coming to a retailer near you in September.
As a Star Wars fan I can honestly tell you I’ll be really busy watching everything included in this set. However, I’m trying to figure out why the CAD price is $40 more than the US when our dollar has been closing the passed few days higher than that of the USA. Hopefully, I can get an answer from someone regarding that.
