Even though prices are cheaper in HK, it has also increased.

The prices of the old stuff is still at HK138 ($17.80) but the new stuff has increased.

The Tiger I initial started the ball rolling at HK168($21.68) followed by the late Tiger I. Then the Pz IVE came in at HK368($47.48) but included either the Dragon Expo Lang or Sherman.

Now you can buy the Pz IV E as a separate kit at HK198 ($25.55).

I suppose eventually the higher cost of the kits will get passed on to buyers. I heard that the metal barrel and PE parts are outsourced. Which partly explains the higher price and the initial lack of supply.
