Gav G Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I haven't looked too closely for AT-AT's yet but the cheapest Bandai 1/48 AT-ST I've found is £14.37 + £7.74 p&p (approx.) from hobby_japan on eBay. Hopefully if the package is marked up like that then there will be no customs charges! The disadvantages are the shipping time but that's not much of an issue for me.

Mick4350 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The GST is charged via Hobby_Japan via their ebay store nowadays here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 As steeli said above, it's probably best to wait until the new year and get the Revell boxings. It looks like the prices will be in the same area as the Ebay imports, but you'll avoid the risk of customs. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav G Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Well, I've orderd an AT-ST from Japan as aboev so that should be customs free. For the AT-AT, Amazon have the Revell rerelease on pre-order for £35.52 so I've gone for that, I can wait. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revell-GmbH-01205-1205-Bandai/dp/B07JMDY8HH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4350 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I've got a Blockade Runner coming if AP actually want to hand it over. Carded to another office other side of town and I asked to send to the local three clicks away, but no its got to go back to the state's distribution point. See them Monday arvo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav G Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) My AT-ST arrived yesterday. Pretty quick shipping from Japan and no customs. It's a bit smaller than I expected but it looks very nice indeed. I may start it soon if my hand lets me.
