I'm flipping out for Grasscutter. Felt lucky to have spotted that one, and don't really want to jinx it, but the first edition which was sent to me from Germany took a full month to arrive. I'm at about that now for these.

At any rate, collecting these editions is fun, and I get to know some very interesting and generous fellow collectors.

:D

Shipping from Germany always seems pretty slow, but then again, most international mail from Europe seems that way now.

Loosing sleep over two comic books is your idea of fun, he? :wink:
Seriously, I've contacted the seller via email, waiting for his reply; I can't give a reason why shipping from Europe to America should be so much slower than vice versa. I've waited for shipments for up to six weeks, but then again almost everything I ordered went through customs, which ate up some time, too.

Perhaps the NSA does a thorough scan for contraband?! :wink:

But I still think that everything will work out right, furystorm...

Edit: @ Furystorm:The books were shipped on the 27th of April, so there's still hope; the seller apologized for the delay. I'll send you the shipment's ID number by PM.
Greetings from overseas

Oh, awesome! I don't mind them having shipped late, as long as they get to me. Now I know I can wait until the end of the month before I need to worry about them.

Thanks so much for all of your help Thomas, you are the best! :D

The volcanic ash cloud definitely has slowed down some of the mail between either side of the pond...
