A request for help: I've found an online store in Canada which has about 100 copies of GQ11 - the issue with the mini-expansion. See here. It's impossible to get hold of in Germany, but I don't mind paying shipping charges (within reason). So off I go and register, only to discover that I have to place a minimum order of $20. GQ11 costs $5.95. Angry

So, here's my plea for help:
- does anyone know of another online store that ships internationally and which wouldn't mind a $6 order?
- or, are there three other people in Europe (preferably Germany) who want to get together and make a joint order?
- or, would anyone in North America be prepared to buy the magazine and post it me, and I'll transfer the costs (via bank or Paypal)?

Here's hoping…

If that doesn't work out for you, I'll buy a few and send them to whomever wants them at cost, just let me know.

So, the order went through easily. Nice people.

Next time there's a release like GQ11 or the Cathars, people on whichever side of the pond is involved should probably try to get hold of a few copies. The guy I talked to would have exchanged a Cathar set for GQ11…

If you ordered from the place I suggested; yes he's a nice person Smiley and I've started to recommend my friends to buy from him, even though you can find cheaper deals at other shops.

Quick post to say that my copy of GQ11 turned up today - and I only confirmed the order on Monday! Two days for a delivery from Sweden to Germany! Now that's service.

So, I'm wholehertedly endorsing Seriebörsen, for anyone who lives in Europe. They also have about a dozen copies of GQ11 left, if anyone doesn't have it yet. My copy cost just over €11, which is fine.

Thanks for the link, Tobias! I now have ALL the expansions, bwahaha…

Guess what I'm playing tonight? Cool

Maybe talk to the guy and add his store as first page news? I'm sure he'd appriciate it Smiley Maybe he'd even sponsor you with some candy?

Just thinkinng aloud here - no idea what you think about stuff like that. I don't like banners etc, but it doesn't have to be anything like that...

Well, I already mentioned that I'd plugged Seriebörsen, and he said that he'd check us out…

My copies of Cathars are sitting at the post office, 3 days.  I have yet to go pick them up tho! I'm completely open to mentions of any company, but at the moment our sponsor has dibs on advertising on the front page  Smiley

(soon as they send me their banner)

For those of us down here in Australia that want a copy of GQ 11
then contact Brett at the Tin Soldier in Penrith, NSW - Australia.
penrith@tinsoldier.com
He tells me that they still have about twenty copies in their warehouse.
