Well my MC has arrived in the city, just a matter of when it gets delivered.  8)

Post Office tried to deliver my box yesterday, but didn't leave it (sig required  :().  Should be able to go to the Post Office this afternoon and pick up my boxes!   :)

That's great news guys!  I'll cross my fingers that you a) get your cases and b) get your favourite chases.   :)

Bastards!   >:(

So, I called the Post Office this AM...

8am:
Me:  I'd like to hold my box so I can pick it up.
Post Office Lady:  No problem, it will be here waiting.

11am:
Me: I'm here to get my box.
Post Office: (after 15minutes of rummaging around in back) It's not here.
Me:  I thought it was being held for me
Post Office:  Oh, it went back out this AM for redelivery.

Sure enough, when I got home there is another peach "Sorry We Missed You" card in the mailbox.  ::)

Now, I have to go back to the Post Office after work and hope that the mail carrier made it back and uloaded his truck already.  If he isn't back to the station before they close at 5pm, I'l have to wait until 8am tomorrow to get my Kubricks...  :'(

Nada at the post office for me today, not that I was expecting anything yet.  If it's here by the end of the week I'll be amazed.

Agreed.  It's going to take those jerks at Customs a while to add up my customs bill.   >:(

Want a complete set of 9?  Only $375 with shipping   ::)

I really hope the prices come down.  I paid $250 with shipping for a complete set of series 4 and would do the same for series 5 if given the chance.  I'm going to be patient and see what happens.

Maybe sooner!  ;D

My parcel arrived but I have to pick it up at the Post Office tomorrow after work.  8)

Customs on the card is $27.33 so I wasn't too far off. 1 more day then bring it on!  8)

Man that sucks Jeff, hope you don't get the run around again tomorrow.  :-\

Opened my cases today and- now don't be mad- I scored all 9!  The layouts that were listed earlier in the thread didn't hold up for my master cases.  I had to open a lot of them.  Anyway, I have a sh--load of Lukes and Death Star Gunners if anyone wants one.  I should also have most of them carded by X-mas if anyone is interested.
