Example on price. A Tamiya Mercedes Benz CLK DTM 2000 cost £22.90 where I live. Over in Hong Kong it costs about £8-9 lol.
So this just shows how much the people in the UK are being ripped off.

I agree the price is cheaper in HK. But people in UK are not ripped off, since the postage cost to UK from Japan/Hong Kong isn't cheap.
e.g. shipping a 1 kg parcel to UK is costing :
by Normal Airmail @ 19pounds
by Surface @ 14pounds
a CLK DTM200 weights about 300-400g so a £13.0 price difference isn't too bad, considering 1kg box contains 2 kits with wrapping and the weight of the container box......
no offense but just a little info to others.
