True about all the comments on posting.
Firstly though, I never have anything sent from the US via Surface Mail, I also think the longer its out there the more risk of loss or damage.
Also I think that with such a unique item as this, I would rather pay slightly more to go and buy it in the UK, even if it means a trip to London, as a fan and avid collector, I am really fussy about tiny detail, even on the box. If I mail ordered it and it arrived with the corners dented, or scuffed on the box, I would be annoyed. By going to a shop and buying him, I can compare them, as long as they have more than 1 on sale, and select the best box and the best looking frog.
I remember in the past especially with the Palisades Mail Order figures, if they arrived and had a slight paint splodge, especially on the yes it ruined the look. Dont want something like this on Replice kermit.....................I know his eyes wont be painted!!
Does anyone know anything about the collectors club that Master Replicas run on there web site? As a Muppet fan, will this benifit Muppet collectors to join?? Is this possible in the UK? Also as Master Replicas do a mail order, I was wandering how much care is taken with mailing, especially with reference to the above!!
