......I like to spend my money at home and then there's all that customs and import stuff to deal with which I'd rather avoid.Thanks Wookie, yep checked them earlier but no joywookiee76 wrote:Have you checked amazon, random i know but there is a heck of a lot of stuff on there.
.......I might have to succumb and buy from abroad it seems 
No luck at all mate, the local shop Antics has them on their website but out of stock and don't know when they'll get any, as you say you'd have thought the 17lb'er would be sold in the UKchief5437 wrote:Any luck yet? I've been looking but no uk ones so far. Which is surprising being the 17lbr version!
Sounds like its Hong Kong or bust

I gather he wants to support his local business? Fair enough in my book. I don't know about other countries, but every time I've ordered from Asia, I've been stung with a load of extra charges which ends up more than the local price.schweinhund227 wrote:digger303 wrote:Don't feel too bad about it chalky....Hong Kong used to be an outpost of the empire an all that....almost family...chalkyw wrote: No luck at all mate, the local shop Antics has them on their website but out of stock and don't know when they'll get any, as you say you'd have thought the 17lb'er would be sold in the UK
Still don't understand why the OP doesn't want to "cut out" the Middle man and go directly where the stuff is made ?
but I'll get reported and "redacted".... AGAIN for saying so....
The OP, BTW that's me, would much prefer to buy from my local economy if possible. In my home town there's only one model shop left now whereas twenty years ago there were five so if I can buy in the UK I'd prefer too......nowt wrong with that in my bookschweinhund227 wrote:Still don't understand why the OP doesn't want to "cut out" the Middle man and go directly where the stuff is made ?

. As I mentioned in a reply earlier I'll buy from abroad if there's no alternative but just seems a bit crazy that you can't get hold of a British AFV in the UK ......BTW, love your Youtube channel, some great vids and buildsMy sentiments exactly..chief5437 wrote: I gather he wants to support his local business?
