Well after spending 3 1/2 weeks in the USA, I've come back home with some hard or impossible to get items as well as some things which were cheaper than what they are here.
I went for a DeWalt DW618 router instead of the Hitachi because the DeWalt is rated at 50/60Hz and we use 50Hz power in Australia. I also bought a 2nd hand 1500w step down transformer in Australia before heading to the USA.
Some nice features of the DW618 are the removable power cord and spindle lock. Hopefully the quality doesn't let me down. This is a factory refurb model which I'm hoping has had a bit more time checking it out that the production units, but I could be wrong.
Here's a detailed spreadsheet with all the bits I bought and photos of the collection so far.
One item not shown is the digital camera I bought as well which is a Panasonic DMC-FX50. Very happy with the picture and video quality (check out Kents log for some I shot).
Lots of fun shopping around for this stuff.
