Title: Каркассон: Мы идем в Каркассон
Post by: Vasek on September 09, 2015, 07:40:55 AM
Hi,
I am looking to obtain Baba Jaga and Bogatyr tiles.  The tiles are available again at Hobbyworld.ru/meshok-schetchik-karkasson for 350 rubles. International shipping requires a minimum of 500, so I would need to buy 2. On the top of that the cost of shipping to Canada is high. So it would cost me around $40.00 Can. Anyone interested?

I've ordered from hobbyworld.ru before - if anyone in the UK wants to do the same let me know  :(y)

I am UK based and would love to get those tiles. Decar were you thinking about sharing on shipping?

I'm also based in the UK and would certainly like to get my hands on these tiles too!

If I order 4 - they would cost about £8 each + the extra postage.

I'll leave it a bit longer in case others want to join in.

OK, you convinced me! I already have Decar's version of these tiles but I am a bit of a sucker for officially published tiles. So I'm in!

Hello! I want to join the party. Count me in! I live nearby Russia, in Romania. I can pay for my shipping when the tiles arrive at your place.

Decar is making a list of who wants in. I think we have a pretty good number now.

Good to hear that Decar is planning a group buy. I wonder if by the time the purchase is made, those tiles will be available.

Decar, count me in! One set, please.

thank for the update Decar.

Post by: Decar on October 13, 2015, 12:12:18 PM
No problem, sorry it took a while, but it sounds like more people jumped on-board which is good for everyone.

Hopefully I missed no one off the list.  I managed to get a couple more into my order, so there are still some available.

Small Update: It's clearing Russian Customs.
Title: Re: Каркассон: Мы идем в Каркассон
Post by: Decar on October 20, 2015, 08:12:56 AM
On the plus side it's already at the Russian National Depot heading to the UK.

On the down side there's a custom's charge ;( however, I think i estimated for this pretty accurately, so no nasty surprises *fingers-crossed*
Title: Re: Каркассон: Мы идем в Каркассон
Post by: Decar on October 21, 2015, 05:51:18 AM
it's already in the local Depot waiting for me.....to pay charges....I just have to go and find out how much it costs :((

Many beers will be owed to you Decar following this.

I couldn't get there today, but I'll go pick them up tomorrow morning and let you all know the damage  :(y)

Customs shouldn't be that much. Normally you should only have to pay import turnover tax (normally in the heigh of your turnover tax). At least according to EU regulations. However, one never knows what EU opt-outs you guys on the other side of the Channel have. ;)
Title: Re: Каркассон: Мы идем в Каркассон
Post by: Decar on October 22, 2015, 12:18:12 AM
Thanks Safari, i think it's more likely we take opt-ins for more taxes when ever we get the chance!
Title: Re: Каркассон: Мы идем в Каркассон
Post by: Decar on October 22, 2015, 05:53:02 AM
Picked it up to day; check out that photo below!
The damage was quite nasty - damn 'administration' charges.  >:(

The Unit Price comes to: £7.50

I had a bad experience posting Safari a letter with a tile in, so if it's ok I'll post a large letter in the UK, and include some extra padding.

UK addresses will be £8.50 - is that ok?  if it isn't I can try and post a 2nd class letter and save about 50p.

I'll have a look at postage abroad tonight - it's usually about £2.45.

If you're still interested PM me your address and I'll send you my paypal details.  I'm hoping you'll pay as a friend, I've not included paypal fees in my calculations.

Thanks very much - The 2nd batch got sent yesterday. 

Everyone's should be en route, with the exception of franks and toasty-toast, who I'm going to send a big bundle with their Welcome Tournament goodies in too (wondering why I didn't do that for Halfling now).

Yay, mine arrived yesterday. Thank you very much Decar! A big merit to you!

Note: also noticed a change in textures in those two tiles. no linen finish. they seem like a home made version. a good addition, never the less.
