Default Re: WTB: Tales of Graces f Day 1 Edition UK/EU release

Packaging from nearly all retailers is good and bad.

There is alot of variation with each packer at the depot, sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you get an awful one.

In terms of percentage of items that arrive packed well, GAME has a good record. Another is HMV but that is my experiences in the UK.

The Base group of stores is also got a good record.

The big difference between UK and USA stores is that UK send goods out for free or low prices, USA store prices are astronomical for shipping overseas. It was easy decision to use a group buy for USA items. But for UK ones it's not so easy.

From looking at the promo pictures, there is a good chance that many stores will send this in a jiffy bag or cardboard surround. Simple because it looks to be small enough to use those.

At the moment I would choose any of these three, the others are a waste of time.

HMV
GAME
Base.com

However If you are ok with paying the extra £5-£7 I would get the group buy.

Hey Gurpswoo1,
I'm happy to manage a few.

Can you manage a few too?
