That makes our price here at AU$45 (about US$31.50) significantly cheaper than in America... and as noted already, a lot less than what two Deluxes cost here (about AU$60).


The 2-pack may not be the most desirable pair, being very minor redecos of previous toys, but if you were wanting this set, or didn't yet have either of the two moulds, it is the one rare occasion that it is cheaper to buy locally than to import (by at least $20... before shipping).
What it tells me is that US prices are high given the economies of scale & retailer competition over there. The price point of these here hits the sweet spot IMO.
