So do we know the official US price for this? Its selling for $5500AU over here which I find severely overpriced.

Yes for $5500, crazy price conversion. I found one in Singapore which is $4200 AU. Just wish it was closer to $4500, that would be a fair price for this.

Consider yourself lucky with 5.5k AU$. These won't even be legally available outside Asia/Australia. If I were to order this from Sugo (which is pretty much the only reliable source that'll ship internationally), I'd be looking at another 1k$ shipping +25% import duties on top.

I think this is the problem with high-end collectibles nowadays. Limited world-wide distribution and extremely high shipping costs. I was keen to get the ECC T-Rex but when I realised I'd be paying an extra 1000 euros to get it shipped, it was an easy pass. I've also noticed that certain companies are reducing their edition sizes and increasing the price...why make more for the same profit if you don't need to. Sadly, it's the collectors/ fans that lose out and many, including myself, are being priced out of the market.

Lucky! For me it's either this or Prime 1 Trex diorama. I'll have to go with dio since most of my collection is Prime 1. But, never say never.

I decided to go for this too, not happy about the extra $ over the exchange rate, but if I buy overseas I'll be paying at least 1K shipping anyway. I'm a massive JP fan and the low ES on this pushed me over. Hoping Queen delivers a quality production piece, and this knocks my socks off.

Given the likely cost of shipping, it pretty much evens out with Sugo. And that's only if the customs value is fudged, otherwise you'll definitely end up paying more if you get hit on top with duties, GST and courier handling fees.
