It's been almost 6 months since my last update posting here... I didn't realise it had been that long, as it certainly didn't feel like it.

Funnily enough, two of the currencies are almost exactly the same as last August. But the bad news is that Aussie Dollar hasn't strengthened against any of these five currencies in the last six months, which still makes importing toys as expensive as it was last year.

As of today, according to xe.com, these are the current rates for AU$1...

- US$ - 0.7271 (almost the same as last August)
- GB£ - 0.5537 (down 2 pence from last August)
- JP¥ - 79.083 (down 1.5 yen from last August)
- EU€ - 0.6325 (almost the same as last August)
- NZ$ - 1.0517 (down 5 cents from last August)

(bank and paypal rates are 2-3% less than the figures above)
