I did some quick calculations based on the dimensions that Hasbro has shared, to see what it might cost to ship one of the HasbroLab Khetanna Sail Barges to NZ.
I compared MyUS, which we've been using for many years ( http://www.MyUS.com ) with NZPost's YouShop ( https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop )
Based on calculators I can access on both sites, MyUS estimates shipping at US$81.92 (NZ$113.10) while YouShop comes in at NZ$256.50.
Calculator links:
MyUS (who charge based on weight only) - https://www.myus.com/pricing/
YouShop (who charge based on volumetric weight, plus additional other fees) - https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop/youshop-pricing
If anyone wants to sign up for a MyUS account, which incurs a monthly fee but gives a 20% reduction on all shipments ($7/month after 30-day free trial ...good if you bring in regular shipments), feel free to sign up via our affiliate link

Re: Sail Barge Shipping Estimates
Expected duty (from https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal/du ... estimator/ )
Value of item = US$500 = NZ$688.72
Duty inclusive of MyUS shipping (NZ$113.10) = $209.11
Duty inclusive of YouShop shipping (NZ$256.50) = $230.63
So, grand totals, in NZ$:
Using MyUS shipping = $1010.93
Using YouShop shipping = $1175.85
Value of item = US$500 = NZ$688.72
Duty inclusive of MyUS shipping (NZ$113.10) = $209.11
Duty inclusive of YouShop shipping (NZ$256.50) = $230.63
So, grand totals, in NZ$:
Using MyUS shipping = $1010.93
Using YouShop shipping = $1175.85

God damn Hasbro they don't think about the rest of the world i tried to point out that most of the non US collectors wont buy this because of the shipping issues.

Re: Sail Barge Shipping Estimates
AFAIK, the most recent official update (just before Xmas) said "Check back for the next update in early 2019, right before the barge ships."
