Heh, like I said, if everything goes through (they have stock to send me my order) I'll let you know and I'll have something for you for helping me out.

Huge thanks though man. I've wanted that item for a long time. It's been so hard to find new/sealed (only the game inside is sealed) and that's the only condition I'd want it in for my collection.

Renchi is great. Their Metal Gear selection is ok, but for everything else they are even better! What sucks is I was in Hong Kong last year but I'm unsure if I ever went to their store. I'll have to check through my photos. I have a total pot smoker memory (even though I've only smoked 1 joint in my life 15 years ago).

Yeah sure, give it a bit but I'll get em up.

I'm going to upgrade to flickR pro so when I do I'll have mad photo space. I mean, I have my webspace but I love their gallery layout and the ease of use.

Yeah I just got the warning I'm close to 200 pictures. I could clean up my Metal Gear pictures (remove alot of dupes like how I show a poster framed and unframed) but I'd rather add more photos. I think it's unlimited if you pay. Not only would I be able to seperate my Metal Gear collection better but I'd love to add groups:

Other Video Games
Comics
Sports Memorabilia
Vacations
Live Sporting Events
etc

I have my own webspace and tons of bandwidth but flickr is so damn easy.

Domain was like $7

If you mean my web hosting, $1/month. I don't know all the details but they had awesome reviews and I haven't had a single problem with them.

hdmx.com - I even get php5, perl, PYTHON!!!

ok I have no clue what those things are and I'm 1000% sure I'm not taking advantage of them

$31 - nice! Mine still isn't here...won it 3 weeks ago.

Shipping for the US pisses me off. My poster was sent out Wednesday in Japan, it's in my hands 3 days later. The postage was $20. I paid $18 to get my E3 soundtrack shipped via priority mail.

Hong Kong is fast, the UK is fast, Japan is lightning quick. Something from Seattle however (which I can drive to in 2.5hrs) takes a good 12-15 business days.

I blame George Bush.

You gotta open them. I considered buying a box so I could video tape me opening them all and putting it online. It'd be really funny because I'm highly likely to curse and possibly throw things if I keep opening the same figure and getting no chase figures.

I won myself a Metal Gear Solid (PAL) videogame last night. I have sold all my PS1 games when I sold them along with the system several years ago. Now it's time to get some originals back.

Anyway I have the money to buy some things but Postage and Packing to Cyprus is ridicilous (a guy asked fro $ 38 just for posting MGS 3: Limited Edition Guide). I have relatives both in UK and USA but asking them to bring large packets to me is a drag.

Sigh* It sucks not to be livng in USA or UK

Congratulations on this...

I remember I used to own one exactly like this. But I came home one day broke and had to get me some money and sold my copy of this for about $40+.... Now, I wish to have one back again.

Scratch the MGSPO Premium Plus pack off my wins, turns out Renchi didn't have it in stock.

I fear for the next person to bid against me for the next sealed one, as you better be ready to pay out the ass for it :evil: - actually it's back and I already have already put a large bid down on it.

Renchi blows. If anyone else gets their order cancelled please let me know.

It's a Promotional soundtrack that was handed out at one of the E3 conferences. Gixo, I'll keep an eye out mate, looks like you're the next in line on here to get one!

If you search for "Metal Gear promo", I find that helps. Or "Metal Gear E3" maybe?

It'll crop up, they always do mate.
