Mostly I've bought from Amazon.jp, and bulked up the order to the max that they'll allow without deducting import duty at source, so as to bring down the shipping cost per item as far as possible.
On this basis the cost per Real Class train including shipping has been in the order of £40-£45.
Well that's cheaper than I paid, so maybe they are better value for money than I thought based on what the one I have cost me, as Super said I've been out of the PlaRail scene for several years now thanks to the discontinuation of the Advance range so had no real idea of the cost. Although it may also be the cost to me was skewed a bit by shipping which they tend to build into the price on Ali as normally you can buy cheaper on Ali than elsewhere, although of course like eBay there are always exceptions to the rule...
Happily collecting things all my life...
