They did imply that there would be additional phantom colours later this year when I enquired.

Probably that the seller either doesn't have any and is awaiting stock - or that they're on vacation.

Why do I say that? Well - when you list on Amazon (or eBay) you pay a listing fee... you can update your prices for free but to close a listing and reopen it later you get charged a fee. So you ratchet the price up high enough that nobody would ever buy it then when you're back from holidays or you have the stock you put it back to a "normal" level for free. Otherwise you pay a listing fee.

You also need to have Java runtime installed :) (obvious I know, but nobody's mentioned it yet)

I went with BB3 as it personally brought a bang for the buck. Every BB as fter that felt too pricy for it's content.
  This is of course Sweden experience where BB5 cost more than 80 Euro in some local stores.
It was only available for just short of £80 here in the UK when I bought mine (from Germany for €37 delivered)

With Royal Mail - for inland (UK) the definitions are this:

Letter : Max length: 24cm; Max width: 16.5cm; Max thickness: 0.5cm; Max weight: 100g
Large Letter: Max length: 35.3cm; Max width: 25cm; Max thickness: 2.5cm; Max weight: 750g
Beyond those you're into small/medium/large parcels

For international:

Letter: Max length: 24cm; Max width: 16.5cm; Max thickness: 0.5cm; Max weight: 100g; Minimum size: One surface must be at least 9cm x 14cm
Large Letter: Max length: 35.3cm; Max width: 25cm; Max thickness: 2.5cm; Max weight: 750g
Small Packet: Minimum size: One surface must be at least 9cm x 14cm; Maximum size: The combined length + width + depth must be no more than 90cm with no single side longer than 60cm; Maximum weight: 2kg
Tubes: Minimum size: Length plus 2 x diameter should be at least 17cm, with the length no shorter than 10cm; Maximum size: Length plus 2 x diameter should be no greater than 104cm, with the length no greater than 90cm; Maximum weight: 2kg
Beyond that you're into kidney sales territory and international parcels... if it's possible to split your >2kg delivery into two parts it's usually cheaper to send 2 small parcels than one large one...

Oh, and all of this is at the mercy of the person on the counter at the Post Office - who has an epic volume of things you're not allowed to post at all.... one of which is "items manufactured from cellulose-based pulp" (you know, like paper...)

hunnymonster, do you still have any sets available? I would buy a set off you :)

I'll send you a PM.

I do :)

And also some new expansions!
Like "official" prints of the fan expansions that they've featured... as an example.

If he ordered 90000 "CropCircles I" tiles they might reprint it :)

Paul (@Michmedia) has just alerted me to a new (final) batch of Phantoms in alternate colours on his Etsy store. My order is  placed.

At least there are two of you sharing the fee... It's why the denizens of another forum I frequent do group buys from outside the EU (yes they always pay the import VAT but the £8 fee is socialised and once you get to 4/5 sharing it's inconsequential)

Alternatively DHL charge 1.5% (min charge £1.25) for items that are being delivered to non-business premises (the initial shipping is usually higher though)

Never underestimate the value of posting your laundry home :) Or flattened packaging...
