Having lived in Canada and now in Europe, I cannot imagine how you can be toy collector in any other countries.
>VAT tax
>processing fees
>$50 shipping
>brexit so even shipping from UK is expensive
Meanwhile in the US: Hasbro stuff regularly discounted in local walmart to 7.99. Amazon prime and Marvel Legends stuff discounted to $12.99 within weeks. No VAT tax or processing fees for imports. Free shipping from chinese ebay sellers and aliexpress. US-based "indie" toy companies like BFS, Mythic Legions, and Marauder Gun Runners. Flat shipping from BBTS.
As a yuropoor, regardless I buy stuff locally from retail, through Amazon.de, through Kapow toys + brexit tax, or through US forwarding service like Stackcry I ended up paying at least 60-100% more expensive.
