    It doesn't help that part 1 is now oop and part 2 is out of stock with "back soon" marked on it. It doesn't exactly instill confidence. The US sets are still available from the CR store for $140 vs £60 here.

    It's not like there haven't been issues with Gundam stuff outside the print errors either, Gundam NT is using the theatrical version and not the finalised Home Video version and the obscene prices for the Build Fighters CEs with half the normal amount of episodes at a higher price point. Then to...

    Anime at the cinema

    The lack of advertising doesn't help. Lupin only got 2 screenings near me in an out of town cinema that's awkward to get to and both pretty late in the evening. Only 1 person bought a ticket for each screening. It's a bit better with AYNIK but the only screening I can get to is dubbed.

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    I meant about the €150 limit on customs duty, which the EU are removing in July, VAT is unavoidable. Unfortunately the removal of that customs threshold will be adding a flat €3 charge for parcels under €150 when implemented until they rework it in 2 years time. This means evertime we import...

    Shouldn't really matter for AL orders as blu rays are 0% rated for customs duty.

    You still have the VAT on top of that too. It cost me €36.24 for the disbursement and VAT charges on a parcel from AL that cost £52.48(€64.06 after conversion) ex VAT. The charge for Macross Plus(£89 ex VAT) alone was €46.33 including the disbursement fee.

    I don't think that's the issue, the main problem is UPS have by and far the highest disbursement charges once it arrives in country. For Ireland FedEx is €12(or 30% of the tax charge, whichever is higher) upto a max of €15, DHL is between €10 and €15 depending on value. Both of those carriers...

    Last time the fee was something like €19.00 ex vat for customs clearance from UPS for Ireland. That was about a year ago so has probably increased since then.
