www.xe.com has an excellent currency converter.
However, the American prices would not include VAT (or GST for us Aussies), so expect prices to be higher than the straight conversion rate.

I make the Fleet Boxes around £75 with VAT included.
Might be leaning towards blister packs myself, especially for the Romulans since I'm going for a higher proportion of Hawk types for their fleet. Rest of the fleet sets look OK to me, maybe add a blister or two to tailor them a bit.

And at the end of this week, we will unveil a special offer which will make it much harder

Drop me a line at msprange@mongoosepublishing.com - we'll see what we can do
What I am being told about the blister packs is they are all $14.95 and will contain one ship, except for the smallest of ships which will have two. Blister packs are very labor intensive and that price is the minimum needed to turn a profit. While we all enjoy what we do, it takes profit to let us keep doing it.

Interesting - In that case it may well be worth buying the fleet box and selling excess ships then .........
I take it that the Romulan Klingon ships are actually the same model - ie are there any cool eagles on the bottom of the Romulan versions? Hopefully they are going to do cloaked versions as well ?
So is my math off It will cost me $8.70 more to buy one ship then get a fleet box set at a cost per ship of $6.25. If so I have a feeling that eBay will be full of alot of extras, even folks buying box sets to split for over 100% profit. Some one please set me straight if I am wrong. I would hate for both of these companies to lose out on these sales that would eventually kill the game. I know it sound's like I'm complaining about the cost but it doesn't sound like financial sense to sell one ship if it cost that much more.

We are talking to an Australian distributor about supporting this promotion but, as things stand right now, it is just through us.
However, that said, there will be _plenty_ of opportunities to get the special something in the weeks and months to come, so don't stray from your local retailer if he has been good to you.
