It's effing adorable
Haha I'm too adorable for serious discussion. This issue was always debated here since we get 1.5x mark up price while the retailers blame it on Australian GST and RRP by vendor.

In this case it looks like the vendor is EA and respawn and I don't see any reason for the mark up since it is goods not sold in Australia and I should not be paying local tax its illegal.

Same goes to the euro and pound price. How could they add VAT into the price when they are actually just importing goods. Members from UK will get slapped another 50-100 import fee on top of an item that they have already paid VAT and import duties as that is what local price includes.

Edit eh I missed one thing. It will be available from retailers as well. Price from retailers I understand but not their price for international order from their own website
