Iwata closeout - I pulled the trigger

[Fran Rioja]

Wow, shipping to Spain is crazy: UPS Worldwide Expedited (Taxes and Duties not included)$170.88 USPS International Shipping (Taxes and Duties not included)$61.80... And I also have to pay the VAT (21%) for the airbrush and the import taxes... it is cheaper for me to buy it in a local store...

That VAT tax has to be one of the best scams they ever came up with.
The added value must be because customs touched it and decided you could have it.

I ordered their closeout HP-AH.
Would have ordered the HP-SBS but it has a .35 nozzle.
Currently using the HP-CS, which also has a .35. I'd like something smaller.

You'll love the HP-AH. I have the HP-A (no built in MAC valve) and love it, it's great for when you are doing details and only need a small amount of paint. When they announced they were discontinuing the HP-A an online retailer discounted his stock of them so I bought another. Its still in its box unused, it may be worth a few dollars more than I paid for it in a few years who knows

I am looking forward to it, Jack.
The closeout prices are so reasonable it's only natural to think 'Maybe I'll have another!'.
