Victorian custom number plates (some help needed)

Hi guys, been here in Victoria for almost 3 months and it's time to get my NSW car switched over.

I need plates, and since it's going to cost me regardless I thought I'd try to get something of my choosing. Nothing too fancy, the typical ABC-123 format,is fine.

So the VPLATES Price List mentions the cheapest option is "POP" from $150.

Where the hell is POP when you go to design a plate? The closest option is 3X3 for $395+

I thought maybe POP is just for those who are happy to be given a random plate but I couldn't figure that out either.

I kinda have less than 2 weeks to get this all organised, so any help would be appreciated. The thing is I'm not planning to be in VIC for more than 1-2 years so I didn't really want to fork out top dollar for plates I'll have to surrender again anyway.

Failing all of the above, does VIC have the cheapo option like NSW & QLD to just get whatever was last hammered up? Last time I did that in QLD I think it cost $28… Seems things are pricey down here.

    Not sure about your first question, but yes, Vicroads offers normal "next off the production line" plates for, off the top of my head, around $37, this doubles, I think, if you choose to go slimline instead, non standard coloured plates attract a further premium, as do of course, customised lettering

      $37, that sounds fair. Thanks.

      Slimline on the front would be nice, don't care about the back.

      EDIT: $34 it actually is.

    I believe the POP plates are just different coloured plates, but with your existing rego number, no customs

      Turns out you are right, see my comment below.

    just get a set of the slimline white on black "AAA-000" series plates, they are only like $150 and look really good (compare to the cheapest white on black slimline plates in SA which are $230 or something)
