Yep, I was surprised that they got it in for the same price as a Hasbro deluxe... which would be impossible to do yourself online because its RRP in Japan & Asia was about AU$30.
This was one of those rare times when the Australian import was a great backup for an item that saw limited release in Japan/Asia or just impossible to track down for less. It is certainly not a concept to write-off just because most import items end up being more expensive than importing.
