I think it has something to do with these being classed as books.

Correct. In the UK books are exempt from import duty.Iain Smith

Don't worry guys lol... you'll see the model soon enough.

In real virtual or just as a sreenshot teaser? :smile:And there's the old question...what is soon? :wink:Just kidding, I know I don't get an answer....@DavidAnd many thanks for sharing your first impressions with the manuals with us!Lucky man!

Looks Great! If only postage wasn't $80 for me, I would of bought is straight away. Have fun with it! :(

AWESOME!! The package looks outstanding. So glad that I have Friday off so I can wait for it. :( CANNOT WAIT!!

Yes,she is girl of our dreams, but the dream is fuzzy a little bit for now :(

My FS2002 PMDG looks better than that :(

The manual set looks just AMAZING! Yesterday I was checking out the description of the set in PMDG's site and already thought it was amazing, but now that you showed us this pictures, I'm speechless.As you said, the only problem is the price, but I also agree that when you consider the quality and how many things are covered by the manuals (that I see as being better even than a real 737 manual (I may be overreacting because of the pictures)) it's totally worth it. As you also said, this set is a must have for big enthusiasts (like me) and future commercial pilots (that I hope to become). I'm looking forward to buy the chief set, but currently my budget doesn't allows me to buy it yet, but as soon as I have an opportunity, I'll run to PMDG's site and get mine (I hope before the middle of 2011). My priority by now is the 737NGX itself. I'd like to thank David Bradford for sharing his first impressions with us and also for gifting us with these beautiful pictures of the PMDG 737NGX Chief Pilot's Flight Manual Set.I almost forgot!
