The word is that the AUD is trading far below what it should atm and that its more of a function of the global hysteria. Basically people are drawing it out of Australia and putting it into more safe places like Japan though that hasn't really helped their cause much either.

...all at a time with all these new TFs coming out in Japan. *sniff.sob.sniff* :~(
Still not as bad as 2000 though... collecting Car Robot and the first wave of Takara reissues was financially excruciating with the AUD's poor performance during that year. :/
Our tourism/hospitality and export industries should be smiling atm though.

EDIT:
66c in early morning trade. Fellow collectors, I believe, we are proverbially $#@!ed.

American and Euopean based travellers don't have the money to travel, since their markets have taken a bigger hit than ours. However the Asia based Travellers will be laughing!
US$0.65 is still better than the US$0.50 we had back at the turn of the millennium, don't know about Transformers but it was still slightly cheaper to buy DBZ stuff from the US back then!
However my plans to order stuff from overseas for Chrissy presents this year is going down the gurgler... Since Paypal takes so long to clear payments, my Alt Wheeljack ended up costing me about $15 extra than it did when I actually bought it.

Just FYI, in case you haven't been following some of the other Paypal threads, you can avoid this delay simply by attaching a credit card (or Visa/MC debit card), even if you don't use it.
