Australian GST is already included in the product price.  You will only be
charged the total displayed on your checkout receipt page.  There are no
additional charges that will incur.

Jarid,

I wish someone at Lego would answer the question I have asked a couple of times now (of Brad and Jake)

If the Australian prices include GST, then how come they are so darn cheap in comparision to US and European pricing?
If I remove Australian GST, and UK VAT, then the Australian prices are typically 20-33% cheaper.
Are they subsidised as part of an introductory offer? Brad said it was the shipping that was subsidised, not the sets.

regards
lawrence
