Here it's 20% VAT + 6.5% custom taxes + fees (always between 15-20€)
I think I will stop buying directly from Sideshow, too much expensive.
It was better when they had their warehouse in UK.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

If the piece arrives and the eyes are wonky, they will have to fix the problem or collect the piece.

Yes it was a long time ago, 2008 I think (I feel old lol), I received my first statues from EU Warehouse (T800 endo bust).
During this "golden age", I only had to pay 17% VAT and very little shipping.

Eyes look good to me. Looks like the 2nd batch was an improvement.
