(...) Yes. If you have any friends in the States, use the US S@H portal and send it to their address, and get them to ship it over. Even if it costs $100 to ship it, you'll still come out well ahead [1]. I understand US customers get free shipping (...) (17 years ago, 1-Aug-07, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) It also pays to remember that the exchange rates used by TLG are determined well in advance of the price being announced (as announced by someone official sometime).

I haven't bought from shop@home for a while, but the exchange rate there is ridiculous. For US buyers, the UCS Millennium Falcon is only US$499, but for us Aussies, it's A$979. This equates to an exchange rate of 51c. At current exchange rates, it (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.loc.au)
