My cousins had this game as kids, and I remember playing it with them a few times back in the day. I remember that one of their kids got the game years later.It's probably long dead by this point.

Yes, this game was one of my most wanteds. When I open the post I was very happy because I win this fantastic game, but now I'm very very sad  >:(
I had a purchase in Ebay of a Ideal Mini Monster Franky, very good condition, with all the clothes except shoes and sock.
The seller said me that don't send to Spain in my first mail, but I resend another email in which I said that I need this monster and be able to pay much money for it. Finally said that yes, and I was waiting all the week for it. And today in the day of the end of the purchase, in the last minute when I write the number to pay appears a message saying that cannot buy this item because I am not from USA!!! f&*%!!! In the lasts seconds, and I have lost to Franky :(
I am very troubled, because this seller will be unlocked the area for let me my purchase. I'm must be stupid because I'm crying for a toy :( But I really love Ideal Mini Monsters and are really hard to find and very expensives.

Hi...

I'm new to the boards and hope no one will mind sticking my oar in...

But perhaps on occasions like this, fellow soldiers in the UMA, who are based in the States, can make purchases for overseas people (And vice versa) and then do the shipping themselves.

Thanks. Yes, i have a couple of friends here that can help me, but this time the problem was that the seller said me that send to Spain and finally no. I think that this time was a non serious seller. But don't worry. I hope find all the Mini Monsters someday :)
Thanks :)

Congrats on the Bats, Morkai!  Watching that one and considered it myself, glad I didn't bid, would rather you have it, and for a great price.  Enjoy!

Really!!! WOW thank you very much!!! I hope that other day you can see other Bats in your Belfry for you. The price was great, but I have to pay the double in shipping costs and probably a plus of 16%100, because the packs too much larges often stop here in the custom and more money to pay :(
Anyway the price is great, and expecially for a game that I was looking for a long time :)
Thanks :)

Morkai,

I live in Canada and have repeatedly had the same problem with eBay auctions in the past year when items are designated as SHIPS TO: U.S. only. Supposedly, you just need the seller to make you an allowable bidder for a specific auction but this doesn't always work. Even with this permission, eBay still blocks you from bidding or, with BIN, from paying. In either case, you get a notice which reads: This item does not ship to your country.

I wrote to customer service and was told there's a glitch in the system which they're trying to fix. This, however, was six months ago and it looks like they still haven't remedied the problem.

Is a problem, because I lost for this reason the Franky Mini Monster :(
If you see my face in the lasts 30 seconds, when appears the message that I cannot make a purchase because I'm outside USA!!! I think that my face trasforms into "Hideous Sun Demon" or any other Creepy Monster :)
But now I'm more untroubled.
Is a hell to be a Monster Collector Outside USA :(
In Ebay.es I never find interested stuff, only sometimes a couple of old comics or a boardgame 1 time to year.

Another option is to set up a US account with a US shipping address that you have received permission from your good friend to use.   Viola problem averted.

Come to think of it, Morkai, there are worse problems in this world.

I really, really hoped that Federer would lose to Blake in the semis of Australian Open and that Nadal would be the first Spaniard to be ranked #1 in the recent history of tennis. Alas, this wasn't to be either, as of today... drat!

Of course, I know that there are worse problems in the world!!! But this is a little problem only, nothing too much special.
Mmmm I'm not fan of Tennis, but Nadal here in Spain is an Idol. For me is indiferent, hehehe. I'm not too much interested in this things, but he is good :)
