I think I must be missing something. Maybe it's the GBP-EUR-USD conversions, but I bought a Torro King Tiger Pro-Edition metal version in the wooden crate from Torro Shop shipped to the US for $610.00. It arrived FedEx, in perfect condition and I can't help but wonder why more RCU members choose not to order direct from Torro Shop. The crate that they come in is certainly worth a few extra bucks and you can't beat the service. Just sayin'...Oh, I also ordered 7 of the Torro Shop German soldiers to go with the KT and they cost $114.03 shipped, that's $16.29 apiece. What am I missing here? I do realize that I didn't pay VAT, so maybe it's only a bargain for Statesiders.
