Errr, G’day. Sam here. Tasmanian. About a year into this sweet hobby. Curious as to how many other fellow Australians are lurking about here, and if anyone’s keen to see a 'Keep it in the country, Aussie BST thread" Here’s Cheers! ---

@Maelstrom is probably the most active Australian user on here. 🙂 I see people shipping from Australia on the BST from time to time, but it’s less common than Europe or Asia. ---

@anon5341354 comes and goes. Great guy, makes outstanding yo-yos. We collectively kinda lost the plot on the launch of the Flying Lemon and I think we overwhelmed him lol, I hope he doesn’t hold it against us. He hasn’t been around nearly as much since all that went down, he has also been into microbrewing last I saw. ---

Would love to, but with a young family and doing the homesteader thing down in Tasmania, I don’t see it happening…at least this year. ---

Cheers mate, still hope to catch up again one day soon. I’ve been throwing often and have recently discovered some of that real comfortable familiarity. Soon to be moving from advanced beginner to crappy intermediate I’d say! ---

As you mentioned in a different thread, since the desire is there we will certainly work out getting that Dreamland PIF over there in the future. As an idea to help defer added shipping costs there have been groups here in the US who have worked out a group buy from Japan before. You all could do a similar thing. Everyone collaborates and gets the order straight. The total gets calculated with shipping and each person pays for their items plus their share of the shipping cost. The receiver must be trustworthy as they would be responsible for distributing them once in country. Just an idea.
