Hi Paul,
The Euro is even stronger at the moment, but prices are increasing in the Netherlands, especially Dragon and Trumpeter. (Dragon went from an average of €37,95 to €49,95 per armour kit in a rather short time!)
I've understand that retail prices are more influenced by the percentage the importer takes then by exchange rates. At least over here.
Buying outside the EU is indeed cheaper, but when your parcel is intercepted by customs, you pay a hefty import tax. Of course not all parcels are checked and taxed, so it's a kind of lottery. But with mail fee and tax the price can come very, very close to the local retail price.
Wished they got cheaper though. Or that I got richer, which would work too of course! :-)
Cheers,
Alex |
