Couple that with cruddy import taxes I had a quick look and it was going to cost about $380 shipped

No such taxes with RK.

You're most welcome mate. I mostly order from them and Nippon-Yasan, who also do not collect GST. Robot Kingdom's exceptional service and reliability are hard to beat, especially now that their shipping rates for packages under 2kg have come right down.

I think on the paypal screen when I was doing the check out it came to $354

I didn’t know they didn’t do GST, might have to swap over from being a BBTS customer

Yes the issue with BBTS is you pay GST plus you're essentially paying for two sets of shipping (Asia to America and then America to Australia). The flipside is you don't have to pay upfront, can cancel orders and have a pile of loot so there are benefits too. However RK's new rate for packages under 2kg is so good it actually works out cheaper to send orders separately than consolidate into one big order (I recently ordered 2x FT Quietus separately).

You do pay upfront with RK, so for regular MP releases I usually order from Nippon-Yasan where they have pay later and you can combine pre orders not paid yet (though you can't cancel). So it's really horses for courses.

This is something i would love to get together with ectotron.

I'm guessing that's what they're counting on, but boy oh boy it's working.
