I've been to conventions and seen people pay, say, £80-£100 for a Gundam Master Grade you can get online for about £40. You could argue they're avoiding waiting for it to arrive and the 50/50 chance of a customs fee, but I personally find it difficult to pay well above retail for something like that. Most of the stuff I buy (model kits, shirts, blu-rays, magazines) is imported directly from Japan. It can be expensive but not nearly as expensive as the prices I see at conventions, local comic shops or UK based online stores. I appreciate this is all highly niche product but there's a general limit I'm willing to pay. Otherwise I feel my hobby is intruding on other outgoings.</p></blockquote><p></p>
