The only time i've used S@H was when there was free shipping in Aus, otherwise it's cheaper to get things from Myer or Target on Sales days....Myer often has 20% off and with the myer one card you get an extra 10%, so lego at 30% off means it's pretty similar to the US prices.
I managed to order the Modular Grand Emporium and the Fire Brigade direct from Amazon in the US.....they cost $170 each including shipping......compared to retail through S@H for between $200 and $250...For some reason now Amazon US doesn't lego direct to Australia, which kind of sucks
It's not just lego though, it's most things...I ordered 2 pairs of golf shows from the US and deliverd for less than the cost of one here...and ordering form Amazon UK, things take less than a week to be shipped.
Simple answer is, if you have the time you can get good prices on Lego in Aus, you just have to be prepared to work a bit for it.....or know someone in the US who can post stuff to you.....I'm going to be so broke when my brother spends 3 months in the US next year......my poor savings account. :(
