I’m sure u already know, there’s not custom fee unless the item or item(s) is over 1000AUD in Aus, so I can never fully understand how ppl like u feel on this matter.

Meronpan pointed this out but there is a typo on “Exced” on the back of the box. It’s funny I didn’t pick this out at first sight. -_-

With 2 EPIC figures in ur collection now, I guess the month will be lighter right?

The difference in the customs cost, incidentally, has to do with Duty. In Canada, there’s technically a 6% duty on most of this stuff (in addition to GST + PST or HST), but they’re sort of inconsistent in terms of when they apply it. And of course, there’s the $10 processing fee. So on the first order, it’s around $140 CDN * 19% or so (depending on what province you live in) + $10 = ~$37 taxes/fees. And on the second, they didn’t charge you duty for whatever reason, so it’s just ~$106 CDN * 13% + $10 = ~$24-25 taxes. And every once in a while you might luck out and they won’t charge you anything; it’s sort of the luck of the draw.

Maybe there is some sort of rule about when they are and aren’t supposed to charge duty, but it sure seems random to me…

Is that how it works ? it must be coming out near the end of March then. We won’t be getting anything until late March >.<

I agree that it’s not epic because it needs more than Clare’s getting her ass kicked to be categorized as Epic ^^;;. Nevertheless, the chapter gives more to the readers than usual.

Regaining her memories may calm her down from killing ? at least that’s what I thought because in early chapters, before she became awakened, she mentioned her purpose of being a Claymore and it was something like being a hero/protect people or anything along those lines. I can’t remember clearly but her intention was noble.

I think the April issue comes out in March, so I’m hoping that there will be a chapter next month.

Anyways, for the big century mark chapter, it wasn’t quite as epic as I was hoping for. Clare just got her ass kicked and that was most of the chapter. My guess is that Priscilla is following Teresa’s scent, and Clare probably smells similar since she became Claymore using Teresa’s flesh. Not sure what the implications are if Priscilla regains her memories though.
