75 quid to buy it in-store at Fopp, though the price isn't fixed so may yet change.

I decided to order this through amazon.ge today for $99 shipped. I reckon I can enjoy torrent downloads of this while I wait for it to arrive. $50 savings is too good to pass up.  "amazon.ge"? |

?? Price must have gone up. Found the answer on the other thread. People living abroad do not hav to pay VAT. At least if you're in Germany, the shipping is free. I wonder if you have to pay customs duty? |

Nope. No Customs duty in the US. Thankfully. It seems a great discouragement to me.

My Amazon UK account is still saying £56.57. Whether this is because I pre-ordered it early I do not know (when I initially put the order through it was priced at over £100). Personally I would recommend pre-ordering it from Amazon UK as - from my own experience at least - once this has been done, the price seems to repeatedly decrease.
I read your comment and checked my account and the same applies to me! Yay! |

Ah! The way you phrased it made me think you meant the no customs duty would discourage you, which of course made no sense to me. |

Price alert - on deepdiscount.com, they are having a one day sale 15% off. With the 15%, the price of the box is $110.49. Free shipping. Some may think it's still too expensive but I suspect this is the lowest the price will get pre-release - after release all bets are off.

Not exactly. I've been keeping track of a bunch of prices on the the first page of the thread and there are three that are cheaper and have been for a while: Sainsubry's has it for £63.99 ($99.01) ImportCDs has it for $99.69 Amazon.de has it for EUR 79.99 ($106.47) |

(roughly $105. Though my quote before the price went up has me at $99.29 shipped.. we'll see).  |

Import cd's is not very reliable in shipping promptly and not infrequently never ship, saying they are out of stock. Google import CDs reviews. They apparently are reliable when you buy from them through amazon sellers, but they aren't selling presale through amazon - must be a deal not to undercut amazon's price. Does import CDs price include free shipping? I didn't want to take the risk of ordering from importcds. The foreign sellers will all be more expensive than deep discount once you count in shipping to the US. |

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Is that with the VAT added - I dont know how much the VAT is alone. I'll um...suffer a week or two avoid paying $140.00 - I may have to stay away from smiley smile during the wait  |

Just a heads up for anyone who may be interested. MIC on amazon.ca has just gone down over $20 and the preorder price is now $118.51. I locked in the first day in went on preorder and have a guaranteed price of $110.84 (or less if it goes down again) but it was only that cheap for a few days. Still beats Amazon.com at $139.88 anyway...
Not long now. Can't wait to listen...
