Hi all, this is my first post on beckett.
I woke up this morning to my first card delivery of the season after patiently waiting for what seems forever. Living in the Uk its some what dfficult to get hold of boxes etc but there here 5 crisp GQ blasters waiting to be opened.....
As the thread says " that feeling you get" and an awesome one it is.
I will be sure to update if i hit anything good.

feel free to share your sentiments , im sure you all get this feeling.

thanks

Well I used to buy from the US and ship them over, but shipping and customs costs just kick you in the nuts. So I've started to use this German website, the prices are quite a bit higher and delivery takes at least 2 weeks, but the delivery price is reasonable and stays the same no matter how much you order, and there's no custom charges. They only really sell whole hobby boxes though, not many loose packs or anything retail. If you want the website name give me a shout and I'll message it you.

I know what you mean, cost me $60 delivery and £25 customs.
Yeah id like to check it out if you could let me know would be great.
