And no, buying in person isn’t a great option, from the 5 stores I looked at (all except one in Budapest btw) where you can get them, two of them don’t sell it anymore, and the other two have like 3 models at a giant markup with no accessories (tracker, coin pocket, etc.)
It’s true the EU has a slight tendency to worry a lot about bureaucracy, and forms. Some people, I obviously would not be one of them, could even go as far as to say the EU cannot fart unless they filled a form and asked for a commission to validate the form, and then ask another commission to select a bureau that will validate the validation by the first commission. So, yeah, it’s not perfect ;)
That being said, ask the UK how good it felt to them (and to us, Europeans) trying to do business together after their Brexit took effect. That was a gigantic pain in the butt. A true kafkaesque level of absurd & nightmarish bureaucracy non-sense.
