What, Me Worry? As I said I was curious. Do not recall seeing this before on this site, and have not seen it at Squadron, GreatModels... So who did Luxembourg piss off? Craig

If your country is not on the list, why worry? It's probably political.

Presumably, a particular company, probably Revell Germany, has an exclusive distribution contract for Revell USA products in Europe. Some dealers worry about lawsuits, some don't, and I assume that Tower Hobbies is just playing it safe. Gerald Owens
IIRC, Tower Hobbies is the owner of or co-owned by the group that owns Revell-Monogram now. I'm betting it's a distributorship thing between Revell USA and Revell AG.
