Fletch0311 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 That feeling when you find the kit you're after that isn't in stock anywhere (or so it seems) and at a sensible price too! Happy days!!! I have been scouring the tinterweb for a Bandai Slave 1 (Boba version). Many places are out of stock and have no idea what's coming when. Then there's RipoffBay which shows a few but at either extortionate prices (£120......erm no!) or from Japan and still quite pricey and could get hit with import charges (maybe). Amazing what a few phone calls to little model shops can do. I feel like the kid in the Yellow Pages advert with the Hornby signal box....."Great!....they've got one, Mum!" 😆 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 There's one available in Canada but no idea on shipping to the UK. https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=BAN0200638 I order from them all the time but their warehouse is only an hour away from me.

Asmodai Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 RipoffBay? Seriously? The last time I checked, sellers are free to ask any price they like, and buyers are free not to pay it. There’s no obligation to give you a ‘deal’, just because you want something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl I found one here in the UK, that was the point of my post. I found one in a small model shop about 100 miles from me by ringing around. Got it for RRP despite sellers wanting 3 or 4 times that on eBay. Years ago there was a TV advert for Yellow Pages directory with a kid ringing round model shops to find a signal box for a train set......and I felt the excitement he showed back in the 80's (whenever the advert was shown). Thanks though 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
