Dissapointed for £20.00 though - it has the Promande of Titanic and has a sticker on the box saying £7.50 

Plus, it's only 1:1750 scale, and the lifeboats take up the whole deck.....oh well, stop ranting, it's your first non broken ship model.....

congratulations Nathan! Remember, i'm still searching for an R/C boat for you

Lots of boats will come up for sale soon, since usually, people that have had a boat for a while tend to sell that one on and buy another, so, you can be lucky and pick up a good deal.

Hiya Nathan

A little off-topic here, but definitely relevant

UK law stipulates that if an item comes attached with a price sticker like that, it must be removed if a higher price is to be charged.  Leaving it intact, means that you only have to pay that price.  In this case, £7.50.  That is the law, and any retailer not following that, can be prosecuted

You are entitled to a FULL refund, or reduction, or you can even contact Trading Standards about it
