Buying everything all of a sudden got a lot more expensive.
In the past month and don't expect things to change.

looks like its back to the old Switerzland bank account.
I wish i had inherited great great uncle 'Hertz's' business savy, played the stockmarket and retired at 45, went around the world and lived in hotels, and this was like in the '20s!
Fortunately i have friends at Macquarie who manage my moneys! Remember in Ducktales, Scrooge McDuck had a room of money he swam in! Ive always wanted to do that! and bite a gold bar:D
Atleast the dollar isn't as bad as it was during the RID/Car Robots era... (I mean, the price difference is still somewhat bearable)
The interest rate cut today, and possibly another 1 or 2 by the end of the year will mean the exchange rate is gonna get worse (for us importers of toys). It's good for Australian businesses though, who export or compete against foreign made stuff.
But since this is a TFs board, it's *bad* news... :p

I'm not upset, since I went on a splurge once the dollar was over 90c and got a whole bunch of stuff I'd wanted but was never previously in my price range. Also managed to finish off G1. It's now lean times, but I'm still working my way through the splurge of TFs...
BTW don't feel so bad guys. The longer term fans here, such as myself, griffin, Demonac, Ark-Ivor, were buying TFs at 50c a few years back!
Yep, with interest cuts comes lower exchange rates. Ah well. At least local prices will come more in line again then Vs. the cost of importing. Hasbro AU would have made an absolute killing this year.Quote:
