Treasures of the Earth expensive in Australia?

IMG_9238Last week I saw Treasurers of the earth on sale for the equivalent of 70% of the cover price charged in Australia. The price difference leaves me wondering where the costs are in Australia compared to elsewhere? Is it the magazine distribution model, the newsagent margin? Regardless, we look expensive for partworks as it was not only Treasurers of the earth for which I noticed this price difference.

    A significant but not the whole portion is freight inbound. I import a particular brand model kits for part of my business from Sweden and the freight adds around 50% to the base price of the individual kit alone.
