Still own a house in Greytown in the lovely Wairarapa Valley. Plan to come back to live in around three years. Half my collection is in storage in Masterton!
I have a lot of Imperial Productions and Regal Enterprises Māori, local militia and British troops from the New Zealand Wars from when i lived in NZ. Not sure there would be a worldwide market though. Very niche.
I do need to catch up on the 'Streets of Rome' range as I acquired about the first...

So we are not sitting pretty in the UK.
Still convinced this is short term and some sanity will return.
Yep I feel bad for US dealers and collectors. However, things change quickly at the moment so this might not stick for long.
Yep have the same experience, always get caught for customs in the UK when ordering from the States but hardly ever direct from HK and China.
