Why don't you just buy from the store itself?

I would but when its a fair bit cheaper somewhere else(and that's even with postage), my wallet snaps shut tighter than a fishes * and I go with what is the best deal for dollar (dang stockmarket stuff making aussie dollar go down , makes me look like a right tight *) .
Its not just for us Aussies though, post gets cheaper when you buy at least two items and that's worldwide
And since they don't carry the full Mantic line, it just means that I will be going back to Mantic when I go for some of their skell's

Oh yes, Europe and US only, too bad...mate

Just went into my painting logs. Great stuff. Do you have one of those for my CraftSmart brand?

Thanks, Sjeng. I'd thought about started a new thread but then thought I'd just be asking a one off question. Should known threads always grow hahaha.

I can see that happening. I don't necessarily mind buying as a one off just to see what their stuff is like however if this becomes bigger than Ben Hur, then I'd want to find a more cost effective way of doing this. Just to show some price comparisons;
Ultramarines Paint Collection is AUD234 here but in;
UK - BP93.60(159AUD)
Germany - EU124.80(AUD181)
US - USD156 (AUD171)

Thanks for that chart, that's exactly what I'm after and better than I thought existed. I'm sure that any number of colours are of use but what are you favourite colours and most useful colours that you use for your HQ minis?

Geez redav I had no idea that it was THAT much. Is that from the nearest store or Aust online store?

ummmm never mind I just looked it up Damn those little pots must be lined with gold or something

Yup, it's pretty bad. I read an article that indicates that historically speaking, this is a lot better than it was. Some items were 200% - 250% higher in cost before the days of the internet. Now, I'm not a typical Aussie with blinkers crying foul because I know that Australia can only be a small market considering our size (23 million) and we're hardly a neighbour to the main markets but that's still stinking expensive.

Thinned with Pixie pee?

I guess that would account for why the pots are soooo big
