You know I’ve been thinking about it and looking into it more, and one thing I never considered was import fees, I’m a thrifty collector, and sometimes I import from the USA if it ends up being cheaper than buying here, the golden rule being make sure the value is less than £135 and then there are no import fees, the value of this will come with a juicy fee, and according to Mattel’s website import fees are including in the £800 cost. So I guess that extra £260 it costs here is making more sense, I still think it’s a hefty bump, but I’m understanding it a bit more now.

I’m assuming this is being made in the US or in their facility in Mexico, hence why US customers aren’t paying that hefty price increase. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s getting harder and harder to be a collector and live in the U.K.
