Axing the Australia tax - a very slim chance of cheaper toys soon

[DELTAprime]

I don't know about the USA, but cost of living in Australia's pretty high.

And the cost of living in the US is really low. AFAIK it's the lowest cost of living in the west, thanks to the likes of Walmart and McDonalds buying at from suppliers at rates that the rest of the world realises is unsustainable.

Bottom line. We are getting ripped off but the US should be paying more. We can't all have US prices, it squeezes the suppliers and only makes huge profits for the retailers.

Well, we are consistently ranked in the top 10-cities-and-country-that'll-most-likely-send-you-broke surveys.

Even with the proposed GST on imports over $100, i'll still buy overseas because it's still cheaper. That isn't going to stop me importing and rush down to Target and pay out of the nose.

It's a joke when i can get a set of 4 of the new Generation Deluxes delivered from America for $109, when the retail here for them is $120.
Even though it's only an $11 difference, once you factor in the time ringing stores, chasing them down, driving out there, wear and tear on your vehicle, why would you buy local when Postman Pat can drop them off at your doorstep?

And when you factor in things like Pile of Loot/Private Warehouse the savings only increase provided you have a little patience.

I'm struggling right now not to have my POL sent. It's got a full set of the SH Figuarts Power Rangers and the Windblade wave of Generations in it. I must have them now, but the savings, the savings...

I have 2 SH Figuarts rangers, the 2 Legacy Megazords, 6 Generation Legends, 6 Deluxes, 2 Voyagers, and SH Figuarts Android 18.

Must wait until at least Android 17 and the Arcee & Chromia set come out.

I know I'll have to make another POL next year, which I probably won't end up shipping until mid year, because I know I'll have to wait to get anything for a good price shipped.
