A guide for this piece: about $311, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

The DeAgostini half scale R2-D2, completed and working, with its display case and the build manuals for issues 1 to 100.
The Piece
The droid rolls, turns his dome, lights his logic displays and projects a hologram, responding to voice and app commands, all built from the weekly Japanese partwork. It stands about 48 cm tall.
Professionally assembled on the owner's behalf and tested working. Included: body, user guide, charging adapter, spare lightsaber, spare battery and display case. The rear dome projection is a little loose and the display case has a small crack. Ships in two parcels.
The Japanese Partwork
DeAgostini, Hachette and Eaglemoss publish their most ambitious build up models in Japan: a car, ship, robot or monster delivered a few parts at a time with a weekly magazine, over two or three years. Japanese editions are known for their scale and engineering, many with lights, sound and moving parts designed by firms such as Kyosho. Completing one takes years and real skill, so finished models in good order are prized by collectors who want the result without the wait.
