What the heck!? I pay $50 for 180GB a month! Dammit! I'm getting ripped.
That's because data doesn't actually cost them anything, the "bandwidth" and infrastructure does. Data plans are just a way to rip us off.

Bloody Tasmania is so far behind with TFs. Good inasmuch as I shouldn't blow the money but bad inasmuch as I brought no TFs down to Hobart and am getting some major plastic crack withdrawal.

when I got here, I asked myself "WTF was 1GB/4GB, etc?" Back home, it's the speed that I pay for and not the amount of data.
There are a lot of things you don't know about if you never leave the country. Ripping you off is a constant.Basketball Shoes cost ~$100 more even if the Aussie $ is weak or strong. You can't justify a KBV for $240 when it costs like US$120 plus shipping ($50) from reputable websites.
There was this CP3 white in a factory outlet, (last one) and it was $170. The CP3 blacks were $120. Just because it is a newer model (by color release date not design), I couldn't bring myself to pay the extra $50. The blacks didn't have my size.
Like CTP green slips, why is it necessary when you already have comprehensive insurance?

Hmmm... that's a good explanation.That's because data doesn't actually cost them anything, the "bandwidth" and infrastructure does. Data plans are just a way to rip us off.
Agree with you there. While I was in AU, there was always a constant feeling that I'm getting ripped off. Everything is just doubly expensive. The odd thing is that the groceries that are produced in AU actually costs more than those that are imported (good example is the IGA in Kingsford selling at such prices in the 2003 to 2006 years I was there).
I remember how shocked I was to discover that 56K dial up costs almost as much as my Singapore unlimited data Cable connection (with Cable TV) when I first arrived in AU in 2003 - 56K dial up with a datacap in AU cost me AU$50 in 2003, which is SGD$60+, almost as much as my unlimited cable connection which includes cable TV for SGD$75. There wasn't even ADSL in the Kingsford area in 2003 while every home is Singapore was already made ADSL/Cable capable. It's pretty shocking really.

Same in the Illawarra. We get nothing. Each trip to the stores is full of heart ache and broken dreams. I wait anxiously for packages to arrive so i can get my fix. I see all this new stuff being released but nothing here.
What about us Hasbro?

It's trickiling out here in Western Sydney as well. Penrith has seen up to wave 2, and seems to be stopping at that. Every time I o toy hunting, I always end up dissapointed. That's why when I was heading through Canberra a couple of weeks ago, I decided to check it out, and found 2 WFC Soundwaves. Bought both of course

I walked into Toyworld Kiama a few months ago and was surprised to see they had Wave 1 PCC before everyone else. But then nothing. it seems like every couple of months we get 2 new figures in mass and then they stop.
It feels like that eerie period before ROTF was released when nothing was released for months. I'm really becoming disenchanted as a collector.
