I did that though I did pick the Basic Set to get the estimate (fun fact: shipping costs can be up to $80).

I get that both you and Refplace were being helpful, and I'm grateful for that. But something seems to have gone astray between my keyboard and your screens.

I just checked the Basic Set (both books) to Australia:

First-Class Package International Service™ $66.25
Priority Mail Express International™ $92.35

Which seems normal at the moment, for the size/weight of the package. I'm not sure it would be much cheaper with a fulfilment service, TBH, having checked some of them. In other words, I don't think the W23 rates are at all unreasonable based on the market, and it's a long way to get here.

I hope that the book ends up at my FLGS...

No worries.

Ah, the kickstarter preview page looks promising. I realise that things are subject to change, but all those caveats about international shipping look like that is going to happen. Fingers crossed! And there is a SPANC backer level too!

Bought the PDF from Warehouse 23. My computer is absolutely chugging trying to navigate it though. Is there some sort of compression issue with the header/foot images on the pages perhaps?

I guess it is "(Prerelease Edition)", but there also isn't any pdf bookmarks.

I've never played SPANC, but I've always loved Phil Foglio's art so I'm tempted...

I notice that the preview of the Kickstarter says that the PDF level will be $35, whereas the PDF is currently selling for $30 at Warehouse 23. Does this reflect a recent change in the planned PDF cost, with the price on the Kickstarter to be updated when it actually goes live, or is the idea to discourage people from buying the PDF on the Kickstarter so that it can focus on determining the viability of the print product?

I also wonder if stretch goals are on kickstarter and not on warehouse 23.

Found my answer stretch goals are included.

Warehouse 23 has nothing to do with the Kickstarter stretch goal. If the stretch goal is unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign, then the PDF and print book will include a comic.
