Not in the UK, unless you manage to catch the rare chance of finding one going up for auction, rather than buy it now. There is this one in america though: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=73570&item=6167028307&rd=1With the $12.99 international shipping it makes a total of $52.94 which, at the moment, is about £28.50. Out of the 3 hobby boxes I got, 2 of them came from america and I never had to pay anything extra... |

I ordered some stuff from Hottopic.com just before Christmas and I got a nice little card through the letter box from the post office saying I owed them £44 thank you very much. I think there where two kinds of taxes and a release fee for parcel force. So I ended up pay almost the same as I had paid in the first place. At least I was working at the time, I think I would have a heart attack if that happened now :'( At present we're allowed upto £18 but mum told me that it would soon be anything, not sure when that starts |

You see - it's not that any of us mind paying the tax itself, it's this customs fee that is often as much as the tax itself just to release it - it's rarely under £10 and it's a right pain. I was once charged £18 in taxes to get a box of LOTR cards, that definitely hammered up the price!

Not well under - not "buy me 2 boxes for £30". Actually I only saw them on one sellers stall. I wasn't really looking for them  I was looking at TT merry's and peering at all the nice WETA things, looking at people's beautiful ROBOTS sketches and looking at the new bits and pieces the folks at Cards Inc are bringing out soon  |
