Wow. Those are very nice. He does such great work. Met him at CVI. Very nice guy.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Those are definitely very pretty.

[Chef[501st]]

pretty yeah... but $175!!!

 

That's about half as much as a set of armour. Far too expensive for what they are if you ask me.

 

One day... when I complete the Colonial Marine, the Snowie, various bits to the Sea Trooper and the possible Swampie... I might just do them.

The things Woodchuck creates are really cool. He is a bit pricey, but I know his DC-15 is a work of art. Those look pretty nice. We just need Chef to offer his awesome wares and armor over here in the US.

[Chef[501st]]

It's always available Jim...

 

But the trouble is the exchange rate and shipping. By the time it gets to you, it's not competitive. So i tend not to, unless someone really really wants it.

 

For instance, what's MonCal Armour... $400? By the time that gets over here with shipping, import duty and VAT, it'll be about £400. My armour is £350, so works nicely.

Do the reverse, £350, plus £40 shipping to the states, that's £390, that's $615, without any import duty or VAT which you might have on top... No contest really. And that's exactly what I tell people who ask.

 

Shame really... and I can't see me moving to the states any time soon.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Ya, I know...shipping really takes its toll. I shipped a blaster to Marcel a few months back and it cost a ton. That trip across the pond is expensive!

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

and I can't see me moving to the states any time soon.

 

And there's the problem. Chef, stop being selfish and move already

 

Seriously, though, they need you over there. You make great stuff and want to help, every garrison needs that person!
