Dronevil, what did shipping and taxes end up being? Very tempted to use them in the past but get them delivered to my US office to avoid shipping, unfortunately I'm not due over there until Q4 this year.

I ordered 2x Imperial Aces and 1x Rebel Transport. The costs were $81.35 + $30.10 shipping + £12.86 customs (actually £4.86 customs and £8 "admin" fee).

So, final cost to me was £79.27. So, basically £20 each for the Aces and £40 for the transport. Actually, looking at it with the customs added in for the first time, it isn't that much cheaper than here in the UK... but the transport was big and heavy so wasn't particularly shipping-friendly and Imperial Aces are basically not available here anyway! I understand that a value of £105+ attracts an additional customs charge, but not sure how much this would be. If the parcel gets over a certain size as well, then shipping goes up massively, so huge orders might not be that great. Have a play around with their checkout and see what you can cram in for what postage.

hmm if i just get 1 imperial aces it equates to £20 before customs which would make it £33 total and would probably take a few weeks to get here so think ill just wait or preorder some from a UK store

The best thing to do when buying from abroad is buy in bulk, so shipping and any customs charges are effectively split acrosseach model in the order. (If you're paying £10 for shipping on £10 models, it's only really increasing the cost of each model by £1.)

Seeing as you're probably not wanting to do a massive bulk order all by yourself, the next best bet is joining a group order, which effectively means that shipping and any customs charges are shared between everyone taking part in the order. Blusox69 is looking at starting one for the UK if you're interested

For those interested, my Miniature Market order took 9 calendar days to arrive.

Considering most players consider Push the Limit standard issue with Interceptors, and that adds stress every time you use it, I have doubts about this proclamation...

Stress is bad because of action loss and predictability. PTL doesn't have the action problem (it increases action economy) and the Interceptor has a wide suite of greens to shed the stress.

Yes, which illustrates why it doesn't matter on a squint. Squints are one of the best ships in the game at shedding stress, the argument against elusiveness is that it's not PtL and doesn't increase your action economy, not that it adds stress, which I mostly don't care about.

The problem with Elusiveness is that it's almost useless against a Focused ship.

It has a 2/8 chance of reducing a [boom] to a miss if the attacking ship intends to spend a focus, but still has a 1/8 chance of improving the [boom[ to a [Kablam!].

That would be a rather bad 2 point EPT even if it DIDN'T stress you to activate.

The only ship I feel it can be used on is Carnor Jax.

Right, just saying the stress isn't the problem
