I wonder when the Gotha IVs will reach$1 million? They are up to $1000 - egads. I started collecting after they sold out and didn’t want to pay $500 for a kit I wouldn’t have space for. Now they’re double that! Oh well.

What postal services are a mess exactly?  Are they talking about the New Zealand postal system?

I have been ordering kits from all over the world like crazy during the pandemic with no problems other than the usual from within the USA using the US postal service.  LOL. 

I just got stuff from Japan in 4 days to Florida.

i'm in Thailand. anything coming from Germany, Belgium, or the US is a total mess. Australia kind of a mess. Japan, UK and Italy all arrive with the same timing they would have pre-plague.

 You may be interested to know then that Hobbylink Japan have got a stash of WNW kits, the Barker Snipe is going for the regular price, the Pup is available too as well as a few others.

i have been depleting HLJ's inventory since early April (9 kits). their prices are odd, some kits are expensive, some are cheaper than it would have been to order directly from WNW. it's always been that way, doesn't seem to have much to do with WNW shutting down.

The value of the Yen perhaps or the import taxes ?

My apologies...  I didn't see that they were sold out.  There weren;t any there that I was looking for, so I didn;t click on them.

No problem. A fair mistake to make  ;)

they do pay import taxes but i don't think that explains why one kit that lists for US$79 will be $70 from HLJ, and another one $110. as i understand it they're the sole distributor for Japan, maybe they're buying stuff back from retailers? weird.

Just received this morning my WNW Pup and Snipe kits from HLJ.

Arrived in Florida from Japan in less than 48 hours!  Sent Fed Ex priority.

I see Sprue Brothers has now sold out of the Gotha G.1 kit.

They still have the Gotha UWD kit in stock however!
