USA shipping service to AUS

hi, ive recenly found a case of TMNT sealed.
The item is in usa and does not ship to aus. Ive contacted the agent about shipping it to a us address forward company that can then ship the case to me.
This is the problem. the items are worth around $25 australian at the stores and the case would make it around $18 dollars per toy which means i can save a few dollars BUT shipping for this item is $120+ which then makes it $28 per figure which is completely pointless for me lol
My question is how do stores get away with making money if shipping costs are 50% of the case price. i understand they may have great deals but is there ANY possible way i can get this case to me for less than $100?
advice would greatly be appreciated
