I was just curious, so I looked. For Mythos Vader it costs $810 AUD shipped from Popcultcha, but if I were to import from Sideshow it?ll cost about $1,525 AUD, and that?s only if it doesn?t get hit by additional custom charges (as this piece is at the threshold).
So that?s AT LEAST 88% more!!!

I don't know how your preorder cost $810, mine cost $899.
Yeah I estimated importing from Sideshow would cost about $1400-1600ish and I still think that is worth it to have it in hand already. Call me an impatient bastard if you will but I HATE waiting.

I get an additional 10% off everything.
And even without VIP status, it’s fairly easy to wait and utilise their 10% off pennies coupons (spend $1,000 and accumulate enough points for a 10% off code) on multiple items at once, rather than using them on only 1 item at a time. Previously that was difficult because their preorder discounts used to last only a few weeks, but nowadays they last months or until it ships.
But if you’re willing to pay almost double to get it 2-3 months sooner, that’s of course your choice to make.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I do like that they tweaked it, would have been nice to mention it though.

I just wanted to ensure you know I was just joking around with the way I said that. I wouldn't actually give someone grief for assuming I'm a dude in a heavily dude centric hobby, with no real clear advertisement to the contrary.

I knew you said it jokingly. UP I rarely take anyone on the forums seriously. And you are correct, this is a Bro centric hobby. LOL!!!
Probably gonna get me kicked off of here:-)
