It is missing alot of pieces that are important.How much of the price is shipping and how much is the Flagg.I wouldn't pay more than $100 for a Flagg without the parts listed.You are only getting the Flight deck some of the truss supports and the superstructure.

Man, I've gotta level with ya...
I've been in the hunt for a Flagg for about a year. There are certain parts that are going to fetch a substantial price on the open market, so I add the cost of shipping & average sale to any stripped down Flagg I am prospecting.
You have a hefty list. And a hefty price tag.
I would weigh this on item condition. If the structure is white and clean, no yellowing, and the stickers have not begun peeling, pieces are solid w/o cracks, than maybe. But even then, maybe not. Shipping to Greece should not exceed $130. Seller packaging & effort should not exceed $30. Really, you are looking at a stripped down Flagg for around $250, which is about right if the coloring is fine for you.
The issue you have here isn't really about the inventory of the Flagg, so much as it is directly finding a source willing to make the time & energy invested in shipping this across the pond.
I would sort your searches on Ebay for sellers that are willing to ship internationally, and do a 60 day search for Flagg's.
You might be surprised.
Stripped Flaggs go for $180-$240 often, depending on what items are missing. Wait for the one that is right for you, and bite.
This is a hefty investment. I feel you 100% man; have been right there at auction end and have had to let a few go because the missing piece count was too high.
Man, Hasbro needs to just do it and make a new one. Even with a $299 price tag, this thing would move boots.

The part that is going to hurt you is the shipping from USA to Greece.

The shipping within the USA to another state in the USA, is usually about $100-150.

So I don't know how much the shipping would be from USA to Greece... and then you would have to worry about customs opening it up and jacking it. :(

I would wait and get an almost complete Flagg. I wouldn't want to pay the shipping for each little part separately that will cost too much.

For an almost complete Flagg shipping from and to the USA is usually about $450. So assuming that the usual shipping is $150... the base being $300, the shipping to Greece is $300 (I'm just guessing here), you might spend up to $600.

I would shoot for ~$300-~$350 for the Flagg, and whatever the shipping is on top of that.

Another option is, if you ever plan on visiting the USA, buy it when you are here, and take it back home with you.

I feel your pain either way.

i would guess shipping is going to be somewhere between 2-300 bucks, i could be wrong but its huge so shipping is deffinetly going to be costly.
