Thanks for helping.

You may still order Caelan direct from Solarwind www.foxfirestudio.com/kits2.htm

She goes for $40 + shipping. You might do somewhat better than that secondhand, or on e-bay, but not a whole lot. Considering the quality of their work, it's a bargain.

If you're outside the US, I've heard that Solarwind does a better job of overseas shipping than some other kit vendors out there. I'd contact them via their website if you have a question about shipping. My experience ordering directly from them has been very good.

What do you mean with this? That the costs of a figure is really low compared with the quality? Well, what the problem is, is that the shipping costs are extremely high for shipping to Holland.

Maybe you know of there is a company in Holland that sells this figure too? (or is this a stupid question?)

The shipping-costs ARE high, thus, a retailer has to cover them also ....

With the actual exchange-rate of the EUR, the SW-Kits are a bargain.

You can get the Caelan for example from www.jjmodels.de
for 55 EUR (plus European-shipment).

If you buy at SW it takes $US 78 (plus tax, if you have bad luck).


No remarkable difference ...

to avoid some of the tax you should contact your tax office they might be able to give you some advice. i found out here in the UK that if you are receiving a parcel from outside the UK you can have a certain number placed on the small green sticker that will exempt you from import tax as it declares the resin object as a "toy"

hope this helps....and know i don't remember the number off hand...sorry

I bought this figure with the help of my father ( Thanks dad!!!) just for 40 euro! well, for a figure isn't that much!

Thanks for the help anyway!
