    With HLJ ****ing up and taking more orders for the Fembots than they had stock I lost out big time on the exchange rates because I couldn't find anyone charging JPY for them and had to go with RK charging USD. Also I bought a couple of games on Steam this weekend and didn't remember that Valve charges most games in USD and that was a shock when I looked at my bank account.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    yeah man, I have pre-ordered mp-10 with some regret as some Australian online stores are offering them cheaper than jp stores now.

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

    - US$ - 0.7626 (another recent drop after treading water for a few weeks)
    - GB£ - 0.504 (down a lot again)
    - JP¥ - 92.654 (down a lot as well)
    - EU€ - 0.7183 (up a lot since last month)
    - NZ$ - 1.0516 (another big drop after a big gain last month)

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

    Unfortunately since four weeks ago, we've dropped against everything except the Euro by a big amount again. And we only gained against the Euro because their currency is suffering even more than ours at the moment, thanks mostly to Greece.

    A few analysts are saying we will see those days again in the coming years
    I remember importing my CR Brave Max during that time...

    Yes, I've been watching the AUvUS slowly increase in the last couple days thanks to comments from the US Reserve bank about what they might be doing for rates this year.

    The Yen is anyone's guess these days, as it has been a rollercoaster, going up down up down up down....
