Pricing - Legos Regional Ripoffs

http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Motor-Set-8293 for $29.99 USD

http://shop.lego.com/en-NZ/LEGO-Power-Functions-Motor-Set-8293 for $69.99 NZD

If this was purely based on exchange rate, this item would cost ~$35.00 NZD! So that's twice the price it should be.

GRRR.

Fine, I'll use an address forwarding service, NZ post offers such a service http://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop

After I place the order Lego sends me this charming bit of marketing speak.

"In an effort to protect personal consumer information, LEGO Systems, Inc. has elected to no longer process shipments to Third Party Shipping Vendors."

First world problems I know. But this is clearly bullshit.
