Thanks This is good info for us Aussies (doesn't matter for me, I can get each one at $45 with free shipping due to a discount I get from one of the online retailers here).
Oh one thing I forgot to mention is for Sydney siders is that their store front is not open on weekends due to the building not letting them keep the front doors open for security reasons.
It is a small shop that mainly specialises in D20 Dungeons & Dragons and other Wizards products along with D20 third party products. They do have a lot of 3.5 books though on the shelves.
... yep, aud135 for the three and they were available at midnight on thursday. mm format and damage reductions changes = good. phb skills and revised classes = good. dmg looks about the same.
got mine at Mind Games yesterday for $150 (wae expecting $180), as well as the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer for $5, because I pre ordered. I'm really glad I didn't buy it earlier now!
Anyway, the changes, for the most part, rock. I'm happy!
