I feel sorry for most shops in U.K as the RC market is not easy, and to be honest threads like this don't help!!!
We all really need to help out the local hobby shops and if anyone wants to use INTERNET then fair play, but don't promote tax dodging....
Everyone puts the same posts, when this comes up and it causes unrest, think threads like this need to be removed really.

just a little update for you, the advice given is of the governments own vat and tax web site and is freely available and is in no way illegal, all you have to do is be prepared to read for ages to find what you need,the world is a small place indeed, and if the suppliers cant sell to retailers at a decent price its them that should be shot, shops are having a hard time not because of people importing them selfs but because the big suppliers (no names mentioned) are to bloody greedy to sell on at a good price so the shops can compete,quick example you can buy a Schumacher touring car from the states which is made in the UK, at 2/3rds the price u can get it here in the UK
classic example of greed suppliers.as long as you pay vat its legal and above board, and for those that obviously no idea, import duty if you really feel u have to pay it.which on toys or scale models u don't is only 4% anyway
if the shops cant compete, which i know they cant do something about, i am and have,and am happy i did.
ps
i cant get and sell on smc ib 4200 race pack,s for under £40
