Actually though that still comes to less than if you ordered it most any place else (WM.com even), so it's not bad really when you think about it ruiner. Yeah it's a screwjob in principle on the shipping/handling though, that's pretty blatant, but they're still better than most other places.
Wouldn't pay too much less buying it at retail really, especially if you had high tax % in your area.
I got one and a VOTC Fett since that was around retail price, and I was pretty pleased with the purchase (so far... haven't gotten the package yet though).
