That paired with the fact we don't know what the quality of the production piece will be like is seriously putting me off hitting the order button.

Ditch their new conversion system and put it back to USD. You'll be better off in the UK. I think you can do it in your settings, live chat them if not. As you say, their conversions are quite significantly over what they should be. Also consider getting a Halifx clarity CC. I have one solely for my Sideshow orders as you aren't charged a currency conversion fee. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the charges we have to pay, but every penny helps....
I'm, also heavily considering ordering the CP GIger Aliens (Head and 1/3 maquette)
