God damn that's a nice piece!
If - God forbid it - the Batman PF is not to my liking I will get this one.
I have the little Batman from Arkham City Special Edition and the detail on him is high class and it's from Kotobukiya, so I wouldn't hesitate buying this (and Catwoman and Harley).
But I can afford so many statues and all those damn fees!
I can't find a good kotobukiya site within Europe.
Edit: I couldn't resist, I pre-ordered the less expensive Harley Quinn. That will be my 'test-order' with this site (didn't knew beforehand).
She shall stand next my Arkham City Batman and my PlayArtsKai Batman and Joker.... yes, I am pleased.

If you live in europe and buy within europe no taxes or other fees are applied - only shipping which is lower because of shorter distances - however, there's a catch, sometimes the collectibles shops in europe, mostly the UK and Germany are overpriced and don't have near the amount of goodies as in the US, so sometimes an item will cost the same as in the US, even with fees. Sadly.
I bought that Harley figurine for 60$ and shipping is 42$ - add to that 25% taxes (or maybe 17% not sure). I'm not a wizard on these matters, but all in all it adds up. I don't have the exact details down but this is pretty much how it is collecting here. I think it's the same for australians etc.
So buying an item, paying overseas shipping and then our own tax systems kicks us in the head with a 3rd amount of dollars to pay makes collecting very expensive and only the really great items is worth getting - like that kotobukiya Batman, a 100$ is a great price, yet I have to pass, cuss the PF is more important - I would assume you'd just get both on a good month?
edit: just wanted to make an example.
Take this bust
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=200086
Roughly 350$
Buy this on the UK amazon and you will have to pay about 432$ (without shipping!)
In the end getting it from Sideshow is the same.
Maybe retailers in europe pay same taxes etc. as us regular customers and we, no matter what, end up with the higher prices.
