When I saw the price first I didn't understand but now I do, and I can live with it. Expensive but at least now we get access to a proper representation. Very interested.

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you Scifitodd, MPC/Round 2! You are working wonders in Sci-Fi. (also very happy with your 1/350 Enterprise models -all of them)

Certain other plastic model manufacturers please take note: see? - folks are willing to pay some more for an accurate & well made Sci-Fi model . . . (a traditionally neglected modeling subject perhaps due in part to volume?). More money but a nicer product - it's gotta be both!

I have a RU Eagle still sitting in a box, but I broke down and pre-ordered one of these.

Is there any information on a UK seller for this beauty when it is released?
 
Re: Eagle Transporter 22" coming November from Round 2

Thanks for the quick response!

Looking at the UK sellers prices it may be cheaper to buy from the USA and pay the import taxes and admin fees.

Hopefully there will be some better deals appearing within the EU.

Yes,...it appears that there is quite a jump in price to buy from UK retailers,....I pre-ordered mine from Hobbylinc for $82 + shipping & duty,....don't know yet what the shipping & duty will be,...but do you think it would end up being the price of the kit?

$82 at the minute = £52...+ 20% VAT = £62,....postage??

'Jump' is the polite way of putting it :facepalm

This is a quote from Niall on Britmodeller.com which may be of use:
'Import duties are -
3% import duty on toys
20% VAT on the cost of the item + import duty + shipping cost
Plus a fee for the shipping company to pay the tax! In the past I've paid £7.95-13.45 from Parcel Farce and £10 from TNT and UPS for this.'

It has also been mentioned by others that it might be good if Amazon.com stock the kit as they handle the tax etc. more smoothly.
 
Re: Eagle Transporter 22" coming November from Round 2

It's November! Any news fall into anyone's ear?

Also, I've inquired of PMarlowe on Shapeways about upscaling his tidy little Moon Buggy to 1/48 scale & he has posted it within a couple of hours; however I am discussing whether it is actually 1/48 scale (the "assumed" scale of the R2 22" Eagle) as I want to convert one into the original Amphicat as well (as a companion display piece...) - his shop:
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/fourthd

I recommend letting him know if you are also interested.
