Thanks for the help guys! I probably should've started with "hi everyone" :P

That post on the China release was really useful. I wonder if the improvements made on that release will be ported over to the new stock that various places are saying will be in around April 2017.

Also thanks for the Robot Kingdom recommendation. I was looking at their postage options:

Registered Air Mail Parcel US$ 36.71
Registered Air Mail Small Packet US$ 43.77
EMS US$ 46.43

Is it worth paying more?
