We should just be thankful that the import/GST change was delayed an additional year as it is. But most of my current preorders are greater than $1,000 AUD anyway for Prime 1 pieces. But I do wish individuals such as Gerry Harvey and the like didn't lobby the government to make the change in the first place.
Which is why I hope the Exclusive is something I can live without, as I would prefer just to get the regular from Popcultcha. As they're pricing pieces pretty competitively, as Sideshow pieces always have an early preorder discount of 10% plus my usual member discount of 10% for a total of 19%. Sometimes the pieces are a bit cheaper than the direct US cost of the regular item alone even without international shipping.
