Can someone send me a can of V Energy Drink? Let me know how much it'll be shipped to the US. I need it full, not empty.

Are V Energy Drinks Australian?

There are also different sizes and flavours.

If you can find one with Master Chief, that would be awesome. I'm pretty sure V is an Australian exclusive.

Edit: It's actually from New Zealand, but it's also sold mainly in Australia. If the Master Chief version is unavailable, would it be possible to get in a plastic bottle?

I'll check the shops today and see what's still available.
Would you also like some Kangaroo Paws and Koala Noses? :lol: ;)

Well that is weird considering you are willing to import an energy drink. It just for your energy drink collection or just drinking it for fun?

I think I'm gonna pass on the animal parts ... for now. Who knows, I might start collecting them too. Is MC on the can too or just the outside label. If you can't find that one, let me know what you can. I really appreciate it.

For as much as it's probably gonna cost me for one, I am definitely not gonna drink it. Thanks to this site, I've gone outside of just video game collecting now. I just picked up a bottle of True Blood today. I went nuts when I saw it.

Wow, people collect the weirdest things.

Anyways, I'm glad to hear you aren't going to drink it, it tastes like shit. :P

It's not a big deal if I don't get the purple kind. Somehow V energy drink ended up on my Facebook feed. I see it every day. I have no idea how though. It might have been Halo 4 related though. I'm a Red Bull guy, I have a 20 oz. can almost everyday. People do collect weird stuff. I just like it because it's from Australia. Whenever people see my collection, I can show them the can or bottle, and I usually keep part of the shipping label from the country the item came from. I think it'd be awesome to be able to brag about having an energy drink that came all the way from Australia.

I can get you one if you like

However, postage from austalia is way too expensive, will cost at least 20 dollars

Letrico

are you getting a 4 pack or single cans?

Matrix6

I couldn't find anymore of the Purple Master Chiefs packs at my local Coles New World shopping market, just the Green pack with Halo4 promo (but no pic of MC). Safeway/Woolies might still have some Purple MC(?), I may have a chance to check tomorrow.

There are large plastic bottles as well and also other flavors. I took some pics, I'll post it up a little later.

If you just want standard cans they can be found anywhere, if you specifically want the halo ones then its harder,

No Purple Halo 4 cans @Coles.

that just took a massive chunk out of my ego, LOL. I thought I was turning into an international lover there for a minute. I'm actually a really good looking guy. So you can hate all you want, I still get laid.

@Matrix6, could you check to see how much the 4 pack of the original V you posted would be shipped? Thanks for all the help guys.

Matrix6

In the 90's both Woolworths and Safeway co-existed (Woolies was a little more scarce), and just recently they've revamped Woolworths and changes all existing Safeway stores to that name. Both owned by the same company anyway, though I never looked into the reason of the changes. :bday:

Are the blue any good?
I've only ever tasted the original flavor. :scratch:

@Matrix6, could you check to see how much the 4 pack of the original V you posted would be shipped? Thanks for all the help guys.

I'll have to enquire about any specific requirements for shipping such things during the week. :think:

Oh, btw, I bought a pack of TruBlood bottles a few years back, drank a bottle.... :nosleep: OMG, so much sugar in it! I just loved the bottles though. I'd also love to have all those Final Fantasy cans they released for XIII/2, but shipping is always cost as much if not more than the cans themselves!! :/

Matrix6

So any updates on V guys?

I apologise for the belated reply.
I enquired about posting cans of drinks from the Post Office, I asked about any standard procedures required and I was given a straight answer.

Apparently, one would need special licensing to export cans of drinks! One civilian can not simply post one in the mail internationally! I'm sorry for the unfortunately revelations, I wasn't aware of that beforehand.
:(

Ergo, I am not able to send you any V Energy Drinks, sadly. :facepalm:

You could just not tell them whats in it and in the postage description write the ingredients

Sure. Make sure you watch Border Securities as I'll probably feature on there entitled "Pale CE Collector attempts to export suspicious substances!" :quote:

thanks for the help anyway.

what if you were to take a plastic bottle of V and empty the contents and then just send me the bottle?

I heard about the drop bear from the Jay and Silent Bob special live from Australia

Oh....plastic bottles, I was only referring to aluminium cans!
I'll make an enquiry about plastic bottles with liquid in it, and if liquid isn't allowed to be mailed then washed empty bottle it'll have to be! :poke:
