The figures ( and I do mean figures ) are from
http://www.shadowforge.com.au

The Aussie Dollar is going up vs the USD, but it's still only 54c US (up
from
51c). I ordered the figs 8 days ago, payment via Credit Card. They *DO*
take
international orders, in fact it's 95% of their business. And only
charge 15%
of order for international airmail, arrives in 1-2 weeks.

So the amount I spent was only the cost of maybe 3 GW figs down here,
including
postage. Less, actually.

I reckon DAWGIE's post gave me my money's worth, and some. :-)
Also gives deserved recognition to an nearly-unknown talented sculptor,
supports
a struggling minor firm, and does something for the country's balance of
payments.
