Hi folks,
Well, I heard back from the one place that I could find on the Net that sold
them internationally, and he quoted me $24 US for postage.
Needless to say, I fell over.
When I got back up again, I read the rest of my mail and found all the nice
messages offering assistance from people in the US of A. I also read how other
Australians like me are in a similar position, and would like to get their
grubby (from painting!) hands on these APCs.
Perhaps we Australians should band together, hmm? I don't know what Australian
Customs would think of a mass import of these vehicles,
but...
Thanks to all the friendly Americans out there who've replied, I'm replying to
those individually..:)
Thanks a lot guys!
> Perhaps we Australians should band together, hmm? I don't know what
Well, that's a great idea. But as far as the mass amounts goes, as long as the
parcel is marked "Gift" and has not been sent via a commercial company there's
not a blessed thing customs can do about it, as long as they are not
re-sold here through a commercial outlet or company. That's how to get
things sent here.

Well gents, Living in the States, I would be happy to be a go between for any
of the guys who want stuff from the states. Just let me know and i'll get you
prices on any of the US bases stuff you need. I should be able to run the
following credit card through my shop: MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. Let me
know if i can be of any help.

Yeup, the Aliens APC saga has raised its head again...
I'm STILL looking for these little beauties and, going through my old email,
found some people in the States mentioning they could help.
Also, I would like to get a consortium of Australians together to order
them en-masse, so the postage will (hopefully) be cheaper for each
individual...
SO:
1. Any Australians interested in getting hold of the Aliens APCs and
Dropships, please email me direct at the address below. I'll collect names for
a little while (couple of weeks maybe) and then start the organisation.
2. Todd, who posted the above quoted message, and whom I shall be mailing to
personally, can you quote us a rough price on each individual item plus what
it would roughly cost in postage for various numbers (6, 10, 12 rough numbers
like that).
3. I WILL COLLECT ALL MONEY BEFORE ORDERING. People will have to trust me, I
guess, but being the focal point I don't want to be left owing money at the
end of it that I don't intend to if people pull out. I'm sure there will be
various ways of doing this; individual arrangements will be made.
4. Anyone else OS who reads this list, please excuse this long post that
really only pertains to Australians and, possibly, New Zealanders if they want
to get in on it. I will hopefully be organising the rest of this through
email, so wont need to disturb you any longer.:)
Regards all!
