Like the title says, why does Europe get a display case with the Porsche (and other models for that matter) but the USA doesn’t? Surely, there are no licensing boundary issues. Shipping a box is shipping a box. The only thing I can come up with is greed. Shipping a big display case across the ocean probably cuts into profit margins, and someone decided to squeeze a few more dollars out of the business by only providing the bare minimum...as if the internet doesn’t exist and we would never find out. But if I’m wrong, I’d love for someone to explain it to me. Here is a video of the display case unboxing in France. https://youtu.be/iaKQGxXN7yY-Dustin

You aren’t really missing anything. 1/8 plex, and a MDF base with an Ogee profile routed in. I’ve had two come over with EU subs, and they do not transport well either. Additionally, they don’t “come with” a sub, they are an extra purchase. (At least I did) so just have a reputable glass shop make one for you. You’ll be happier.
Happy New Year,
Mark
