New Zvezda Star Destroyer Model kit

I just picked up 2 on evilbey, $79 each, $50 shipping each to USA. says he had 10 available. I know they will take 6+ weeks shipping especially through customs and the silly season but cant wait!! Im happy with the price and I wanted the zvezda box. I have one of their black pearls, I think they do a really nice job, like any mfg there is going to be in-accuracies but they seem to be pushing the level of quality, and that's what we are here for, up put it over the top !

I'm so irritated! I go and try to buy it now, it says ten available, and it errors every time! Take my money!!!!!!!

OK, I forced him to take my money. The listing continually said there were more than 10 available, but errors every time I attempted to buy,so I emailed him to ask if they were,in fact,still available. He replied very quickly that he checked the listing and indeed were available, so I tried again. No joy. I asked him if I could get one anyway and he sent me his PayPal, and since PayPal should reimburse should there be a problem I ordered one up. I have absolutely zero will power.......
 
I ordered one on eBay--sounded like delivery is more likely in February (which is fine because I'll be gone over Christmas and don't want it sitting on my front porch for two weeks).
 
The guy told me delivery would be anything from 2 weeks to 2 months. I think he is just preparing us for the worst.

I had the same problem. You have to go into your Ebay setting and disable the credit card.
Thank you.I tried that and a bunch of other tricks from around the intertubes, including using the Canadian site. In the end I went directly to him and I just got an email from him confirming payment and letting me know it will go out asap so I'm pretty stoked!
 
Well, I bit the bullet and purchase one too. I never pre-ordered anything on eBay before. I hope it works out well and it doesn't take too long to arrive once it is released.

There's so long between now and the actual release that I think I'll hold off and see if something better pops up, in terms of buying options
 
I had the error message when I first went to buy and it turns out shipping wasn't calculated to AU. I messaged him and he was more than helpful and relisted it with AU added. Very pleasant to deal with. :)

I have not ordered from this individual before but I have ordered from Russia before, US customs can take 4 weeks just in processing. I have also seen them open my parcels, inspect, and re-package, no where near as well as originally done. but have been lucky I guess because always been complete and never damaged, just the outer packaging. Just throwing out my experience for digest. to me its just the cost of being able to get something from a foreign land and in this case superior to anything available here for the money. a Randy Cooper star destroyed would be the best but the size and complexity may be a little much for me.
 
I've had no issues ordering overseas items through eBay. I think I've gotten items from Taiwan or China in around a week.
 
this is an at-at resin kit from Spain. surprising all the pieces are present and undamaged. mail1.PNG mail2.PNG
 
I agree, :) a box. it had a wax paper shipping wrap in the second pick. I got them reversed :/ it was kinda comical, I happened to see the postal worker bring to my front porch. He looked around, placed a foot on the lowest step, set the "box" down, held it for a second while glancing around again, then raced back to his vehicle and sped away before I could open the front door. I was very upset to begin with but as I opened the box and began to go through everything, everything was separately wrapped in bubble wrap and all was fine, even the corrugated aluminum tubing for the neck.
 
Could just be test builds of the "packaging". I like the carry strap that's just visible toward the bottom of the pictures. These are from another eBay seller of the kit that just popped up. Go to the 'Bay and search Zvezda Star Destroyer.
