Buying board games?

Post by ennui » Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:48 pm

So I've got my eye on the new Super Dungeon Explore board game, but my wife is throwing a fit because the shipping is almost $50--more than half the price of the game itself.

Those of who that buy board games from overseas, where do you get them?

I just did an eBay search and the first result came out as 7000 yen for the game, 1500 for shipping.

You're going to get that? I was tempted as well. I hear good things about the gameplay to boot.
Feel free to call me Dave!

Should work out at about 7500 yen depending on how much your credit card charges you. However it looks like they are out of stock so it may take some time before it reaches you.

Or you can order from
http://www.ring-tail.com/shop-descripti ... 1314542940
Its more expensive (9000) but they have it in stock and if you order 15000 yen of stuff (they also sell a huge range of models inc. warmahordes) then shipping is free.

Thanks prim. Doing the math, it looks like only a difference of 1000 yen or so from the other sites I'd found. :?

I might have to just ship the box to my parents and get it when I move back. :cry: I really don't want to do that. Let's ganbaru.

SDE looks super cool. I would love to get it for myself. Hope it's as fun as it looks!
