Hmmm, seems that export/import costs are quite different in Australia.

Here in the good ol' U.S. of A., you're typically paying twice as much or more for a Binal Tech figure than you would for the corresponding Alternator. For example, BBTS list Alt. Smokescreen at $24.99 and BT Smokescreen at $54.99 (US dollars). And that's just with a specialty shop where the prices are a little inflated. I can pick an Alternator up for under $20 at Wal-Mart (which doesn't sell BT). If you go that route, BTs are approaching three times as much.

Yeah, if it were only about 20% more, I'd go with BT. Seeing how that isn't the case *here*, I'll go with Alts, thank you.
