I'll have you know not everyone ordered from someone so careless. Mine was wrapped in a single thin sheet of bubble wrap and THEN shoved in a large mailer envelope, thank you very much!
Oh, I was just making a joke lol. I would actually recommend my seller (volgania on you know where), he was really responsive and fairly priced. It seems like he packed it as best he could, but I think we're all in this boat for the most part. Shipping from russia is expensive and their economy sucks right now, so I can't blame them for doing the best they can to get these to us. The box is super sturdy and should be enough on its own really. I'm pretty sure Zvezda knew they'd be shipped over seas and what postal system they'd be going through.Sorry to hear that. Do you mind sharing the name of the seller that should be avoided?

I asked this the other day and mine as others are exactly where yours is. Even the same dates. It seems we got in there right before the holidays in those neck of 'ze voods' so I am no longer worrying until a few days to a week from now when those holidays should be over and they should be on a shipping wessil any day now....So mine still shows as being in Moscow - it's been there since the 26th... Anyone else's still there?

And some have recieved their kits while tracking still shows them in Russia!
Heads up for UK members, Hannants (big hobby shop based in London) have got these for preorder for £138 ($170)!
You would have to desperately need one of these to pay that much. Not sure when they would be in stock, but surely you could save yourself £50 by waiting till April for the Revell reboot.
Has anyone from the UK bought one of these from Russia, and if so what were the import charges like?
From what I've read you don't pay Duty on items up to £135 but you still have to pay VAT @ 20% of the total cost including postage and insurance.Heads up for UK members, Hannants (big hobby shop based in London) have got these for preorder for £138 ($170)!

£138! What a joke the UK is with its pricing on everything.
You can get one off ebay for £95 including shipping. We have the import charges to think about though like you said.
So what happens when Revell do this kit....Is it the same kit just in a Revell box? In other words, is the model going to be the same quality?
