I noticed that a number of places - including David Jones and LIFX themselves - had discounted these starter kits to $109 or $119 (from $129rrp) in recent days.
That started the inevitable race to the bottom for Amazon AU and Bunnings, who now have it listed at $87.00 which is their cost price before sell-though rebates:

I ended up walking into Officeworks for an easy price-beat at $82.65ea. Copy of receipt in case it helps anyone http://imgur.com/a/2FjkR8G

i got lucky and got the price beat from bunnings before they dropped the price to match amazon, now to wait for the extensions to go down, the strip is awesome
