I make that about 50% more! Surely such a difference can't be justified.
Could it be a mistake?

And currently in New Zealand, 59.99 USD = 122.98 NZD whereas LEGO want
149.95 NZD for the Gigamesh G60. So it's not so bad here, but it is
still about 22 percent more than the US price.

The value of the US dollar had been falling the last several months - the pound has gained about 20% to 25% against the dollar recently. LEGO may not have planned on that when determining the prices. Also, isn't tax already included in the UK (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
