As far as I can remember, Hi MD blanks have always been around the AUD$4.95 mark in Australia.

I've given up waiting for Sony to release the latest models in Australia and took the plunge by buying a Japanese black RH10 from a guy on eBay (buyfromjapan). I ordered on Wednesday and it arrived the next Monday! It ended up costing about AUD$440 (including postage) and came with english manuals, SS3.0 and a plug adaptor. The Japanese model also has the backlit LCD remote and charging cradle. I went to Go Audio in Melbourne Central and picked up a box of 5 Hi MD blanks for AUD$22. Until recently, JB Hi-Fi in the City also had heaps of blanks but they were gone when I last checked. I am now a happy Hi MD owner and my wife has picked up my old MZ 707 in the deal.
