I just noticed that JBNZ has finally opened pre-orders for House of the Dragon Season 2. I was eyeing the 4K steelbook, but when I saw the price tag of $87 + $5 shipping, I almost choked!
Then I checked JBAU, and they're selling the same steelbook for $65 + $5 shipping AUD. After accounting for the international tax deduction and converting to NZD, it comes out to around $69.
That's a whopping difference of over $20! Given the ongoing discussion in this thread, I think it's time I switch to doing all my pre-orders through JBAU instead of relying on local retailers.
I really wish we had more affordable options for physical media in New Zealand. But with price differences this big, it's hard to justify supporting local retailers.
