TOPIC:

Has anyone got any experience ordering in Tamiya Kits from Hong Kong regarding customs in the UK. I am thinking of getting a Re Release Blitzer Beetle with a little cash thats left over from my Ebay sales lately and have just enough left after ordering my new Avante so dont want to get stung later for customs tax. How does it work and has anyone tried it before? i have ordered spares in the past but never been charged on them but these where only low cost items.

Regards

Hi,
There is a good page HERE that will give you the details.

Thanks for the info Lars

I decided to go ahead and order the blitzer beetle last night i have always loved the kit and have a used one but i just had to have the new in box one with it bieng a personal favourite i didnt think they would ever re release it im very happy

I am going dizzy with kits at the moment i still have my new in box hotshot to do and i ordered the re release Avante last week so i will be busy. I also picked up a CC01 Toyota landcruiser for a christmas gift as i have never built this chassis before and it looks like a lot of fun. Id like to stop now but i have sweaty palms ever since i saw the Re Re fast attack vehicle....now that chassis does look like a cool build.

You where right about the Asia sellers asking if i wanted the price lowering on the customs forms..it was the first thing they asked me.

Thanks for the response

He he, sounds like your credit card is taking a beating... be careful

Hi lars

No not at all, they have not cost me anything, i sold a lot of old stuff i had in my parents loft when they had a clear out. A lot of old star wars toys etc. Lucky really, i nearly gave them away thinking they where worthless. Ebay is a usefull place for selling collectable stuff
