    Hanjin's bankruptcy is likely to throw world wide shipping into chaos and increase shipping costs: http://www.usnews.com/news/business...tcy-causes-global-shipping-chaos-retail-fears

    There is already speculation about what impact the shipping chaos will have on the cost and availability of Oculus Touch: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/51j2b0/will_hanjins_bankruptcy_delay_oculus_touch/

    I guess if there is a local bargain you have had your eye on for your simulator then now may be the time to grab it, as the next few months will likely result in scarcity and shipping cost increases for international items.
