[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 461856, member: 2"] The key to having a great collection is to look everywhere. Facebook, forums, eBay, live events, antiques shops, and as you say all around the world. I reckon about a third of my collection has come from the USA, you quite simply just have to work out if the postage and import fees make it financially viable. Factor in 33% on top of the sale price, and ask yourself if that would make it cheaper in the UK. Of course you can try and avoid the customs charges, but that is obviously risky and not above board either so I would not recommend it for high value items. There is no rule really for good prices, I see crazy prices for Kenner stuff in some of the US groups, and I've seen some real good deals too. The same as eBay or anywhere else. [/QUOTE]
