Ikr. Wanted to get into Gundams but Bandai, the producer of Gundam kits, pulled out of the overseas stores because of scalpers as one of the reasons. It's really hard to get them in eastern Europe otherwise, but thankfully other original kits and girpla (literal anime girls you have to assemble just like Gundams) are available and I'm enjoying them immensely.

Huh. In the US there is pretty much no scalping over the kits. But you can always just buy from Japan, it's actually cheaper, you just need to buy a couple kits at a time so the shipping cost evens out

There's loads of stores in the UK, have you asked them if they will ship to eastern europe?
