As an overseas buyer, i both love and hate it.
If i buy one thing only, it's usually cheaper for me. The import charges are cheaper than paying the 25% VAT (of the item AND the shipping cost) i have to pay when it ends up in customs (which it usually does), and i don't have to pay the $25 customs fee. If i want to buy multiple items from the same seller, it totally and utterly blows, as oddly there is no way to combine shipping on items listed with the GSP. Joes often fit into this category, so that limits my options a lot. Regarding the Missile Command set, i got one for $75 just after SDCC. I ended up paying $130 in total including shipping and import charges, but unfortunately that's just what it costs when you're collecting Joes in Denmark. Should've collected Legos instead ;) |

I measured it right now for you, and I’m getting 23.5 x 11.13 x 3.5 inches for the decorative box. (I don't know what size outer box it will be shipped in.)

Thanks. Do you happen to have a scale? I'd like to know the weight also.
