Deal details first…
€139.53 includes the global shipping, the AUD estimate was obtained by using https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/consumers/get-support/conver… for those with int'l fee-free cards. Otherwise, Amazon will happily take AU$215.24 instead. I am not sure how long this price will last.

Some information of uncertain importance:
AU RRP $599.00 (LOL-cry)
(General street price is more like $359 normally without real discount)
UK RRP £179.00 (~AU$320 with market forex rate)
DE RRP €199.00 (~AU$300 with market forex rate)
(I am uncertain if they are generally sold at RRP, but camelcamelcamel suggests no)
…and the unimportant background that you may skip lol:
I was searching specifically for the S'cure (or a suitcase of the zipperless category) and felt disappointed at how I missed the 20% myer ebay sale, and then further discouraged by how expensive the Samsonites are in the Asia Pacific region. Further searching revealed that Samsonite has global warranty, hence I looked up the global sellers (yup the first place I checked was amazon/camelcamelcamel, and I am very curious at how they'll influence the market when they officially open locally).
Now I don't know how decent the global warranty is, but then considering all the Samsonites which my relatives and friends own likely have came from overseas, it doesn't concern me too much (especially the suitcases are still going strong).
I actually didn't get the black colour, but it is what I posted as it is the cheapest option. Other colours and sizes seem to be doing a very good price as well.
Also, for those wanting to shell out some more $$$ for a Lite-Locked, The Metallic Green 75cm is €306.01 (~AU$472, incl delivery) on back order, with other sizes and colour at various availability. The 75cm-size no longer has discounts, but the 81cm White, and Red colours still do, at €302.27 (~AU$450,
AU RRP$ 1099, DE RRP €426.99), and its camelcamelcamel.
How much they are when:
"missed the 20% myer ebay sale"?
