Man, I should have done that last year but I didn't think it could get any more expensive than what it was!
Little did I know they'd add 10% tax!
Will Blizzard over open an APAC distribution centre like they did with EU?
I guess the only consolation is I bought Widow, Reaper, Tracer, Illidan, DVA, Illidan and Grommash before the tax hike, and before the Overwatch standard price hike (they used to be $150 USD).
Grommash I got lucky - it came back in stock Fri, Oct 6, 2017. I think there was only 2 or 3 they must have found somewhere out the back lol. Tracer was free as I ordered two and sold one locally for a profit which covered both statues as there was a large shortage at the time.
Just checked my Illidan invoice - Shipping & Handling $11.91 in 2017. Amazing. I don't see how Sylvanas box is 7 times as big...
DVA was $97
Grommash was $112
Reaper $18
Widow $32
Does Blizz ever do Black Friday sales on statues?
