Are Australians being ripped off?

We are totally ripped off!

Prime example.... My son wanted a death star box of lego. At that stage, it was not available in stores in Australia except through a couple of online stores. He went to the lego store, added it to his cart, it was $399 (US$). When he went to check out, he put in his address and when he selected Australia, the price changed to $699 , yes... $699 How does this convert. This was July last year, so not years ago when the $ wasn't good. Plus $50 shipping. We were expecting the $50 shipping, but not the price change! The order was still shipping from the USA, regardless of where we lived, the order was shipping from the one warehouse! So why did the price change simply due to where we reside

WE ARE RIPPED OFF!

Wow, that's a massive jump at the check out!
