Fek me tomcruiseandlittlebabyjesus!!!

$130 USD at Nippon Yassan versus $209 CAD at Automaton !?!

Suddenly buying Canadian doesn't add up. Mind you there's likely duty on top of the import plus shipping on both. I guess I have to decide how lazy I am now.

So far I haven't had to pay duties wity HLJ, but this time I'm a little more worried.

Yay! Happy dance. Almost done on the longest heavy mod build I've attempted! Just the wait time for epoxy putty to cure and clear coat.

Awesome, post up pics when you're done!

There's a new one in my thread in Customs.

Chances of getting hit for custom on MP22 is high due to its higher retail value, but I can tell you from my experience it will still cost less than buying one from a North American importer.

^Oh yeah, for sure. My last BBTS order was under $200 and didn't get hit with any customs fees so maybe I'll get lucky again and not have to pay.

Cool, it's looking good Carissa! That looks like a lot of hard work!

I haven't had an issue with customs on orders under $200 from HLJ. So unless you're buying multiple MP-22's or packing with other stuff then you should be fine.

[kirbenvost]

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!

Ugh.... stoopid Living History hobby group is stoopid.... Why did you have to schedule an event on the weekend of Free Comic Book Day? WHY???? Next year they'd better change the date or else.
