You want bad pricing, come live in Aus and experience the 'Australia tax'. That $60 Gamestore Worldwide kit you buy, we pay $90. Think I am kidding, look at your rrp for recently released 'giant floating ultimate necromancer skeleton' and his book. I paid $150 each for those two.
Now when it comes to malifaux, I can actually get it from my LGS (the only place I buy from if they can get what I want) for close to US prices. This combined with the small model count and being able to start playing 30ss (mini tournament size) with crew sets makes me and everyone I have introduced to the game very happy. 2 months ago, nobody knew about malifaux in my area. Now, I have 10 players for a League I am starting next week. Of those, I have 2 guys that are addicted and already own Arcanist and Neverborn 2e starter box and I have to keep them updated on New releases so they can order them too.
Tl;dr Australia sucks for pricing, except when it comes to malifaux
