The costs to manufacture items in various countries differs and as such the retail prices for those regions will vary as well. LEGO has production facilities in several places around the world. The only time currency conversion is actually correct is when you buy something --from that region--. If I'm wrong, then that will be a bummer. Cause there ain't no way I'm spending $240USD for an excavator. I don't care how many power functions it has. $240USD is way, way, waaaaaaay too much. This sucks. I was really wanting a detailed manual excavator in the $50-$60USD range. I agree that the prices stand a very good chance of being completely wrong.
