mini/supply shopping in Europe

[LadyEyes]

Ok, I have a question: What is difficult or impossible for people to get in Europe in the way of minis and/or supplies?

I'm just brainstorming for the moment, so please humor me.

I know Dull Coate is hard, and that's probably not going to change much because of shipping requirements.

What else? And is it mostly because the shipping costs from the U.S. are so high?

sharpers for sure:
I had to order mine from china

We don't really have a good point for the extra stuff like colour shapers and specialised stuff like certain foliages and such.

I scrape by what I can get and often get them from the (for me) weirdest places.

I definitly would like some brush on Testors though!

yep, dullcote is really difficult to find (if you mean spray paints)
clay shapers

and woodland scenics stuff is pretty rare here too

[Skrit]

I can find Testors here in my regular hobby store, just not the brush on one!

minis manufactured by US companies (other than PP)

@Nameless - Is Reaper hard to get over there much? Or are you thinking things like Wyrd Minis?

[mahon]

American minis are more difficult to find here due to several reasons: expensive postage (or slow shipping), slow processing at customs offices, etc.

Things are much easier with European stuff obviously...

@LE - both I'm not sure if look for retailer's or customer's opinion though.
