Holy crap! I feel bad for my UK brothers!
What about the Prop store of London? They sell HCG. Aren't they going to sell the bust? I know they have the full size up for p-o.

Nope, they're not going to be selling this one.

Hmmm... well if you do a direct conversion of the dollar price of the bust alone, it works out your paying around £406 for delivery.

Don't forget VAT, which is approximately an additional £90.

Hi all, just a quick update for anyone interested. Alex Fisher from HCG just sent me an email, heres the main thrust of it:
" We are still working on finding a company that can ship this item for less. Unfortunately due to it's size and weight it is unable to ship with USPS. We are diligently trying to find the best shipping method and best price for our customers, especially those that are overseas".
I was offered the chance to keep my order. I can't fault them for trying to get me a better shipping rate, but I guess it's a pretty large box at the end of the day.
