Kevin - the main thing is that GeoHex has exclusive rights as sole US
licensee - KR is very understanding about the OCCASIONAL direct order to
us, especially if it is all or part for stuff that is not in US
production
yet, but the general rule is that all US orders SHOULD go to GeoHex.

Different markets, different techniques and prices. We sell most of our
stuff direct to customers, and don't blister-pack at all. US sales
demand
the fancy packaging to make the stuff sell in stores.

Only1, but the US version includes a metal stand, which weighs almost as
much as the ship - the UK one has a plastic stand.

Different resin. Polyester for the UK, polyurethane for the US. The US
resin is lighter and stronger, but more expensive.

VAT doesn't apply to books, so don't subtract anything in this case.
