Just checked my Hannants account, definitely 10% off £619.99 I'm afraid. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the top link under What’s New near the top of page, it takes you to the current newsletter that has the coupon codes. Also, I wouldn’t worry that much about missing out on the coupons. They usually bring them back every month. alanash1963 and nmayhew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I was able to buy an ICM Gladiator for $39, Yahu IPs for $12, and so on. Even after factoring in shipping, I paid Hannants about 20% less than I would had I bought the same items in the US. nmayhew, Smokeyforgothispassword, alanash1963 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) MBK have just messaged me saying they will not be charging VAT on orders from UK I tried a sample check out and it did indeed show Eur503 - ie the price was ex-their VAT. But as it stands, I think that after you get bent over on the FX rate (what Paypal were going to charge me did not match what i was seeing on Bloomberg lol), I ended up with £445 to MBK, and then DHL will likely charge import VAT (20%) and you may also get charged customs duty (2.5% I think), which will take you to about £545 so as far as i can work out, MBK is actually very close to Hannants £557. hope this helps, and sorry if it seems i was saying one thing and am now saying another - the figures have been changing cheers Nick Edited October 22, 2021 by nmayhew re-did my sums and my conclusion! :) alanash1963, Fanes and Stevepd 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Needham Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I can't recall the last time, if ever, a plastic model kit had so many 'variables' in the price nor with RRP seemingly being all over the place subject to who is selling it. I remain convinced that most of these quoted (UK) prices thus far are based simply upon individuals assessing how much (and desperate) potential buyers are to have it and how much they think they can get away with charging for it rather than actual market factors and influences like production costs, logistics and import duty. WNW had they still been here (and even in the current environment) would still have given a confirmed price for their product ages ago.

LSP_K2 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Thank goodness I'm in no way a Lanc fan. But to those that are, I hope it's a great kit for you. Smokeyforgothispassword, alanash1963 and Stokey Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your loss, I've had the great fortune to crawl over every square inch of the BBMF Lanc, experienced the Just Jane 'taxi ride', watched the amazing spectacle of the Canadian Lanc in formation with the aforementioned. I've ran into the back garden like a little kid when it's flown over, shouting "It's the Lanc." - my kids get that. 4 Merlins! It's in the 'British' DNA. Love it!

Even though I have a wholesale account with them I couldn't sell it any cheaper than they are offering. There is absolutely zero margin in it for me (and I mean zero). I am unsure if that is deliberate, as they expect very limited stock and want to maximise their sales, or it's just a case of Border being one of those companies that has a lower discount at the wholesale point of sale (as per Tamiya, Modelcollect, REXx, Rye Field and a small range of other manufacturers) than the majority but it is the case that I couldn't sell this and make anything at all on it or do better than Hannants is offering.

Dave Williams Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) LuckyModel now has a 22% off coupon for orders over $250. With $20 surface shipping, that’s just $488 (£355 or 419€) shipped to the US.
