rubbish
A couple of model shop staff i know well say the uk distributors are charging them more for a part with an official account than hong kong based sellers can sell one part for INCLUDING postage, from the other side of the planet.
Not a good way to support retailers.
Its a myth that vast stocks are held of these injection moulded parts. Its development and mould casting that costs the money, parts cost pence to produce after this, even on a small run.
Im not complaining about the price i have to pay, i just think the shop should be able to make a reasonable profit and survive!
