This is a major reason that these new laws are such a kick in the teeth to rural customers . I've done the vast majority of my shopping online in the last 7 years because I'm so far from actual stores, and it's always worked out cheaper to get something shipped from the US or Japan than from Sydney or Melbourne

Well the only two RescueBots characters my son and I never got were Salvage and Sideswipe. Salvage is $250 on Amazon and Sideswipe was in stores here but too dear for such a shitty toy so I decided to wait for him to drop in price, but now he goes for about $50 on Amazon too
