have just looked at the 'x-wing live in UK?' section & noted a entry by birdaj2 (on 18/6/19), who informed members that the x-wing is being shipped from Italy! if so why can't we access other partworks from the Italian website or other associate deagostini websites?
I think its just a slightly different way they have opted to distribute this one (certainly at this early stage) in that the stock seems to be held overseas and is shipping that way.
As the build continues its possible they will put stock in the UK for onward distribution.
I think in terms of each countries product range that for the time being will remain a different aspect and still see those products bring restricted to their own countries in which they have been launched.
I guess if we put a positive spin on things this distribution of the x-wing from italy might be testing the water to see how well it works with a view to then open up other models to other countries. It would certainly increase sales for Deagostini on some of their products were at the moment their sales of certain items are restricted to just a few countries.
Who can really tell - i guess time will decide what we have access too or not.
