I've found Hong Kong sellers the cheapest for postage followed by Japan and then the states. It really depends on what you're buying of course .
Thanks, I'll bare that it mind. I'd just seen single figures from the states with postage at £17 which I thought was a bit extreme.
If you're collecting loose, I've had really good luck contacting Ebay sellers and getting them to lower their shipping costs for loose figures. You'd be surprised at how much people will knock of vs. their list price. Good luck!
That's because they're using a trackable and insured postal service. I find it annoying as hell but I understand why they do it. Like JediJman I also recommend contacting the seller and asking them about changing the postage.
I see that the Biker Scout that comes in the speeder bike box set has a battle damaged uniform. Does anyone know if the bike itself differs from the bike that comes with the Luke and Leia set?

I'm not positive, but I think that there are indeed some coloration differences between the two, most notably, the pouch behind the seat.
I'm in the UK & although I'm just a lurker I buy most of my stuff from the US,Japan & HK/China. Whether my opinion is worth anything being a newbie & all but you should also consider 'HM Customs' who often tend to charge import duty on high cost 'declared' items from the US yet tend to turn a blind eye to virtually everything I buy from HK/China & Japan. Until you get stung you tend to dismiss this as 'happening to someone else' but can often add up to a fair sum of money. Just saying.
