Hi Everyone,

Does anybody know where the cheapest place to buy online, a Savage 25 Nitro truck, from the states to the U.K.

My buddy is thinking of getting one, and wants to take advantage of the good exchange rate.

Is it right that as it is a toy, there is very little duty if any on the purchase/import?

Any info appreciated.

thanks

Not Sure

Not sure about others but I think Towerhobbies.com does ship overseas

Yup; $409 right now.

You just missed a special; $399.99

There are a couple of places that have the Savage for a few bucks less, but I'm thinking you'll have a better shot at dependable delivery from Tower. But don't you have to pay VAT anyway? I would think that will eat up your savings; last I heard it (VAT) was almost 20%.

Favorable exchange rate, my ass. Favorable to you guys, that's for sure. I'm going to Scotland tomorrow. I almost stroked out at the bank a little while ago; for $1000 USD cash, I received 492 pounds sterling.

At first I thought the bank was trying to soak me; until the guy showed me the official exchange register on his 'puter.

Wank me...

You may want to consider the Savage SS kit, The box is smaller so shipping may be cheaper, hard to say but the difference is the the SS is in Kit forum and you get to build it from scratch. I loved building mine.
