RE: Starterboxes..
Yeah I know what your saying about customs, you think you have a shipping problem, over here we dont even get parts for anything, when we ship we pay half the price of a new truggy, then add 25% INTERNATIONAL Currency custom duty, its killing.
I placed an order for some parts and a jp 4 pipe from tower, the total was around $145 us, add in shipping $215, add custom duties, total comes up to around $275 US.
Luckily they call you and you give them your credit card # on the phone, and they charge it to you with out having to drive 2+ in all traffic to cover a distance of about 30 - 40 KMS.
Yu could buy half a new truck in that much. Well as long as it arrives safley, im ok.
As for starter boxes, I use one with the OS V-Spec. Ive never been a fan of starter boxes. Use a handy-starter for my .32 Ofna, love it.
