As AOG have told us on the B5Wars list, negotiating the distribution
rights
for Australia (an Europe) is currently a real pain in the bum, so it has
taken a back seat to getting the game fully released in the States and
Canada. They fully intend to market the game in Europe and Oz, but they
need to negotiate a contract with Warner Bros. Europe and Oz for
distribution here and over there, so don't be too critcal. They are
2-man
operation making a product that everyone wants right now, so they are
supplying their immediate market.
If you see the chance to get copies of the minis and the game here in
Oz,
snap it up if you like B5! Its illegal to sell them here and I can say
that
the game is pretty good. I snatched up my copy!

Yeah. I noticed that too. Trying to keep the masses happy I guess.
