George Clooney will have to pay for an engagement ring or something once it arrives in UK, absolutely
I am in Asia and got my Joker PF from CSC. That was the only time I saved on the duty by asking them to price it low on the Customs Declaration. Wanted to go the same route with Bats but was a bit concerned about breakage / replacements, etc. Hence, got him from SS. The RPs are a Bonus. Plus, we pay duty on Polystone statues @15-16% of item price + shipping. Which, I don't find terrible.
With the kind of intricate and expensive stuff coming out, ordering from SS would give a lot of peace of mind, I'd say. However, if
CDUK folks take care of issue(s) and stuff, guess it makes sense to order through them / a local dealer.
