[Frostbite Bailey]

I'll take one as well please; PM sent. Thanks, FB

[Sayton]

I would like a copy as well. PM has just been sent! Hope you still have some copies left! This game looks very sweet!

[black dog]

I got mine a couple of weeks ago.Pretty good game and the packaging with the hard plastic case,artwork and manual is very nice.Also at $25.00..very reasonably priced. I would recommend picking one up.

[Mayhem]

The rather high international shipping is somewhere putting me off though...

[timdu]

We are not making any profit on the shipping. We use the USPS, and if you go to the USPS.COM web site and click calculate postage, and choose international, you will see that a 1 pound package from USA to Great Britain costs $12.95

Priority Mail® International Small Flat-Rate Box*
USPS-supplied Priority Mail Small Flat-Rate Box 5 3/8" x 8 1/2" X 1 3/4". Maximum weight 4 pounds. 6 - 10 Days $12.95

Just wanted to make it clear that we are not "marking up" the rate for shipping...

[Sayton]

Oh, I'm not putting the blame on you here. Although Al has sent 2-3 carts to me in the past for under $10, so that's why it was a bit of a surprise. Maybe I'll have it sent within the US instead...

stick it in a bubble envelope and send it airmail, $13.00 is a joke

[Godzilla]

it really is a nice package, i recommend it to anyone.

I'll never have another 2600 cart sent to me in a bubble mailer, I've already had two in the past destroyed by the mailing system...

[timdu]

I can look into the cost of sending the cart in a bubble mailer to the U.K.
We are also including a hard shell plastic case (it normally holds 9-10 DVDs) with the game.
I think in the past when you received games, it probably was just the loose cart and a manual.
That could be an option too as well... if you would like to forfeit the hard shell plastic case and just receive
the game cartridge, game manual, and cover sheet for this box, I can definitely look into this as an option.

Send me a PM if interested

Meant to get one of these earlier and didn't and now I WILL before they sell out... so hold on to one for me. Thanks

[dwh]

Payment will go out tommorow...I'm stuck in the snow today.

[Mayhem]

Oh... didn't realise it was boxed. I thought it was just cart and manual. Well, the shipping cost isn't so bizarre then... might change my mind

[godzillajoe]

Got mine today and OMFG I love the box art. Santa pulling a gun on a little kid.

Ya we learned that one the hard way together

I have to give credit to Dan Skelton for the artwork. It was his brilliant idea. I personally love it.
Dan came up with the idea, painted it, and then scanned it into his PC. After seeing his excellent artwork in
the Stella gets a new Brain project, I was so glad to have him on board. I gave him the green light and
we "ran with his idea." The result is pure magic in my opinion.

Just got to play and am totally bummed that it ends!

Played medium and just as it starts to get interesting, I'm finished?!

4:11 total time.

Don't wanna sound like the Grinch but I shouldn't be able to beat a game first time out of the box in a total of 4 minutes.

I know the hard level has 25 houses but still.

I think we need a Mean Santa II next year!

Hint: Why not go and finish Easy Mode, "just to do it"?

[godzillajoe]

Will do. Thanks for the tip.
