Just to clarify a couple of points. 1) I agree that the elder engineer is an awesome miniature. 2) ...

Seriously though, the £2 shipping offer mentioned was for pre-orders only it doesn't apply to regular sales. Regular international shipping for the miniature would be £2.80. I hope that resolves the confusion.
Megatron pretty much hit the nail on the head there with his reply. My own response would go a bit deeper into things like company ethos, business models, devaluation of the hobby, economies of scale, range of choice etc... Out of respect for Mike and his creation though I'll hold my tongue...
I'm not allergic to making money however so I'm sorry to lose the sale
