While you're absolutely right about Amazon JP not shipping to AU, I've used Amazon Japan to buy all of my MP cars and it's never cost me "more" (i.e. I've always paid below full retail price). :confused: Also, be aware that Amazon JP's MPs do NOT come with the coin. No Japanese MP comes with the coin -- that's a Hasbro Asia exclusive thing.Quote:

And when you actually think about it, if you take into account that a business has to make money, any Japanese-sourced products (not from a HK source) sold by an Australian dealer, has to pass through the hands of two or three businesses first who each have to have a markup/profit, plus add on GST at the end - most of which you don't have to pay by only dealing with one Business (Amazon Japan), so of course you pay less than pretty much everyone else here... so just be careful when noting or boasting about how you are the one lucky Australian who can pay less than Retail on Amazon Japan toys because you have someone in Japan buying for you.
