Yes, just declare a value of $25 or less. Import free values vary from country to country.  Some sellers state they won't do that because it's a federal crime,  so they say. I don't know if that's true,  though. Then again, packages are scanned not opened and if there's nothing suspicious found it's all good. I think it doesn't work if a seller prints an address label with eBay or PayPal,  where the actual value of the purchase is mentioned on the label.

As you go to print the label, you are allowed to see and alter the value, addy, mark as gift, etc prior to printing. If a seller so wished, he could make the value whatever he wanted and kill the customers duty fees.
My Po doesn't care how I mark em. I am always aware of high import duty fees that my customers are or would be charged.

Got him! Newest purchase. Got it off ebay for $9.95 free shipping. I'm going to use him and Wes Janson in my custom Sowspeeder with the red/orange paint job.

Great price for that new figure. I actually received that one and the new 26 Vader in a mystery box from Beyond Mortality Toys this past week. I like this new pilot Wedge, but am not sure that new Vader is better than the VC93 one we got (think that was the right number).

Well I just went to Ollies and foud their vehicle two packs. One pack for me, one pack for my daughter and all the other ships go for our BDay Custom Challenge prizes! I picked up these packs:

Snowspeeder/Cloud Car
V-19/Droid Gunship
Vulture Droid/Xanadu Blood

They also had two packs with the TCW Canons, but they were smashed pretty good and the Obi-Wan JSF I just couldn't force myself to pick up again.

I think Wal-mart is my favorite store right now. Not only was I surprised to find two stormtroopers on the pegs but was going to buy one...thats until it rang up at $6 at the register. So the wife said go get the other one! Well I go back and grab it then instead of going back I decided to look down the aisle and thats when I seen a Boba and 3 more stormys and went back to the register and left with 6 6inchers for less than $40.

Woah! Daggone outstanding. Time for all of us to drop what we are doing and head to Wal-mart. Thanks for sharing and time to go spread the word about this one KRZTFR. Thanks for the note and the pics and the receipt pic to prove it!

I have seen em and seen Stormies at each one. Waiting to see if a Clonetrooper pops us.

I just got in my wave of six inchers from Dorkside. The flat helmet Vader, Chewie (who looks great), Jedi Luke (looks good), and black pauldron Sandtrooper (also looks great). And they sent a box of cosmic cupcakes that I bit into (pics on the front page and Facebook if interested). I really like Dorkside folks.
