    Goood question. 1 US dollar is currently equal to .88 Euro so it should be less.

    us dollar to euro - Google Search

    The Euro is worth more. It's $1 USD equals (is only) .88 Euros. So for every dollar you spend you only spend .88 Euros. That means that if something costs $100 USD then it should be around 88 Euros...

    Flip side is that 1 euro equals $1.13 USD.

    On that chart, if it's $94.99 USD it should be $83.92 Euro. ;)

    Isn't the gold/bronze one more movie accurate? Or am I thrown off because of the toys and movie lighting? Then again, the blue/black/grey one blends into his back better if you store him there. I'd rather have them switched, so if I don't choose the stand I can hide him on his back better.

    So, why did Europeans pay more? Doesn’t make sense.

    Value Added Tax. Any European retailer would have to add 19% to their selling price (therefore the MSRP), which would make it hit about 99 Euros.

    If you're not buying from a european retailer then the Euro MSRP is irrelevant. Buy it from whatever overseas seller you want for however much they're charging, and you'll probably end up having to pay the import tax yourself if customs grabs it.

    I have endless gripes about the costly nature of being a British collector but it’s best just not to think about it.
    So many times I see something utterly unavilavble in England on eBay from a myriad of US sellers or a US online store but, firstly the postage is Practically equivelant to the cost of the figures and then I know I can add another 20% of that overall price in customs fees which ends up making any purchase unfeasible.
    But I digress-

    I’m having a micro dilemma about the diorama base now. I’ve been onboard with it the whole time until now when I’m giving the option to buy a version without it for 10 bucks cheaper... Am I losing out on any of the undercarriage or just the desert scene on the inside? It’s really not in scale with anything; even those puny SS figures and it’ll take up valuable space on my already crammed shelves. It’s a nice thought as a bonus but, given the choice and chance to save some cash, I’m quite sure I don’t need it.

    you are from the netherlands to?

    Am I to believe that version A is like the Studio Series one with the open bottom? or does it come with a cover but without the diorama?

    I just wish they used that cover to make scorpinook.. that would have solved 3 issues in one swift move..
    A scorpinook that would scale well AND ins a transformer,
    No loose bits cause it actually is a seperate transformer.
    and well... no weird diorama that offers not two, but three scale issues!
