[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: Super Star Soldier!]

Oh I need all of these, count me in!

Thanks for you generosity.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: OK, I need a new game or two]

Glad to hear your order went well Zeta, mine got to the UK fast and then took a week to actually get up to Scotland. Then I just got a letter telling me I need to pay £35+ in customs charges, a nice surprise this morning. If anyone in the UK is interested from buying off Suragaya, they put the full value on the forms and you can expect to pay around 30% of the orders value for customs. I think larger orders are the way to go as the items themselves are so damn cheap, I remember seeing a Gimmick! CIB for under £60.

Finally got this game last month and being a fan of Super Dodgeball I've had a great time with it so far, especially as it works well on the GT.

I thought I'd make a thread to see if anyone has managed to beat loop 5 though?
I managed to beat the 4th loop last week and having spent a whole week trying the 5th I still can't get past Iceland. With the real short time you get I don't see myself ever beating Africa even if I threw specials everytime.

82, now I can see why I bought a FC Joycard. Thanks for this man.

I finally got some word back from Surugaya asking me to confirm the order before charging me. The shipping came to a whopping £30 for 5 GG carts, 8 PCE cibs, and 1 WS cib. Considering I saved that much money on just several of the games alone I think it was worth it, you just need to take that into consideration when comparing prices. Again Auc-egames uses the far cheaper Airmail so you can get even better deals with them.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: OK, I need a new game or two]

I can vouch for Auc-egames on Rakuten, I bought 6 Famicom carts and the shipping came to £5, also the prices on some of the games were a tenth of the BINs on eBay. I recently made a rather large order with Surugaya-a-too but I've yet to hear back from them on the postage costs, if it's cheap I think the majority of my imports will be from there. They also have some things there I've never seen on eBay like the WonderSwan dev cart.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Arrgghh. Customs.]

In the UK also and I've gotten stung a good few times on customs, it's especially a pain when what you bought wasn't that expensive to begin with. It hasn't happened too much for me though, I'd say on my last 20 import orders I've only had to pay customs 3 times. Fortunately a lot of sellers will put a low value price down on the postage forms and you miss out on getting taxed.

If you dispute it I'm interested to see what happens, the fees are absurd.

Thanks Sadler and congrats Venom, you have fun with those!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC-Engine, Turbografx, or both?]

Agree with NecroPhile, if you've got the money go for the region modded PCE Duo. I got a refurbished & region modded Duo-R from doujindance last year and it's just perfect, paid more than I would've liked but I'd buy from him again.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Raffle: 3 PC Engine huey's]

Count me in, I don't have any of those and I'd like some more multitap games.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Hit Japan Ebay Terra Forming Warning]

I've bought from them a dozen times the past year and everything has gone great, they can be pretty lenient on best offers as well. I go with the cheapest shipping and it gets to the UK within a week, can be a lot longer when you order from their site probably because they don't have it yet.

Always been a fan of the Dragon Spirit games but I love me some Twinbee, I haven't took Detana out my GT for months. I still need to pick up all the Soldier games though, so far I've only played Final Soldier.

Ha maybe it will be once I get time to play '93.
