We didn't even get the option to preorder her, she never came to our shores except for a small amount at the eb expo,but that was only if you played the game and the eb expo was the day after trap team released, so there was really no point in going id I could stay home and play trap team. But I actually think she looks like a really fun character, but activision is being cruel and making us wait to 2015 or pay $40 for something worth $20. To make it worse shes probably part of a wave so youll be even further overstocked with her,,while we have to wait an extra month, and by that point the amount of shipments stores receive will have greatly reduced making her really rare.

Can you just order her from over here?

[Omenix]

Thats a possibility, but with the shipping costs its almost the same as scalping, except the scalpers dont get benefits. She does look like a great character though, fingers crossef she has an individual release, perhaps wave 3.5, so shell be easier to come by. With such a busy end of year coming, new nintendo games, consoles, amiibo, skylanders wave 2 and finishing of the christmas shopping, however maybe in the new year. Is it true that theres a way to get free shipping? Would that extend overseas?

You know that is why I suggested it...I'm not sure how the shipping would pan out. I've "nearly" ordered from Amazon Germany/France and EB Games in Australia, but have never done it.

I'd imagine it would cost enough to make it a poor decision as you predict, but can't say for sure...If the flat rate applied it would be worth it.

When I buy from Amazon I almost always get over the $35 threshold for "Free Super Saver Shipping." It ships as fast as standard (transit time wise), they just kind of stall out the "get the stuff in the box" phase by 2-4 ridiculous days.

If I were you I'd put 2x Gearshift in the kart with a CD, or something around $10 and see what it does on the shipping tab...If it is ridiculous, just don't finalize the transaction. I just checked and she is still in stock and listed at $14.96.
