>>9516638quoting animextreme is disingenuous as they are extremely overpriced compared to pretty much everyone. Other local hobby stores are generally better. I don't know what effect the change in shipping policy will have on local hobby store prices. I imagine they use distributors that won't change things too much.
Also isn't the shipping situation the exact same for the USA too? They don't have small parcel. We get fucked because exchange rate / taxes / duties / whatever. Everything has always been more expensive here, even when we reached parity wth the USD that one time. Stores cost more to run here (rent is way higher, taxes, etc) so basically yeah.
