I personally don't have a complaint about the edition (other that possibly being a little light on physical content) but for the sake of clarity, Gaz is from the UK too where in total it was £100, so we paid £60 for that additional content (since the plain game is around £40), that works out at ~$91.46.

Ah, I see. I forget how you guys get screwed on conversion. But it is kind of comparable as the game cost is a lot more so is the item cost (I mean game to content cost comparison). I have found that VAT is why your items are so high over there. When I order from EU and they take the VAT off it makes a huge difference (20% almost.. 19 I think).

But here in the US where it was $99 (though I paid $150 on second hand market) it was a good deal, or at the very least a decent value. Thousands would pay $40 for that replica alone if it were for sale.

So we are paying $180 for that extra content.... :s

That is insane.
