How come there is a .75GBP surcharge to each group of figures? The listing has, for instance, a group of four Italians for 7GBP, then + .75 GBP 'shipping', then adds 7GBP to shipping when you check out.
Second question: how well do these figures match up with Perry WW2 Italians? I'm interested in their Italians in Abyssinia Range, especially the motor crew.
thanks. |

I am not sure on number one mate i see you are state side. Uk the postage added to figures is by pack for uk customers the 75p. I would assume the £7.00 GBP is owing to the nuts cost of posting overseas from blighty
now i have maori wars the empress are Paul Hicks sculpts but i also use some of the Perry miniatures from their Spanish range. They fit very well, little differences in sculpting style, but the match very well size wise. The csstings from empress are crisper with less flash but for me both would work well together

If you live in the states you should check if their American distributor Age of Glory carries this line to avoid British shipping fees. |

I did check with Age of Glory. It's actually more expensive!
$12 USD for four figures (instead of $9.49 USD WITH add on fee). And it costs $.63 USD less to ship.
