One of the best things about Star Wars collecting in the US is the price of paperback novels. In the US they're set at a standard price of $7.99US ($9.73NZ) whereas back in New Zealand they're usually priced anywhere from $15.99NZ to $24.99NZ.
I picked up Scourge a couple of days ago while at a conference in St. Louis and The Old Republic: Revan today at my local H-E-B They should give me a nice break from school-related reading!
