Very cool about the free shipping. I know for Europeans it is very expensive to get US made cards and products due to the shipping costs. I imagine it is also frustrating to even purchase some of the products due to companies refusing to ship to some countries.
I never bought directly from Topps, for instance. I always bought via eBay and had a couple of european sellers (who imported from US). Then I also bought a few packs and boxes directly from US and the problem is that if importing directly from US you might get to pay, besides the normal shipping, VAT. And sometimes if a box costs like 10$ the shipping+VAT is like double the the box price =\
So finding some european seller, and since amazon.es also ship to Portugal with free shipping is like I've seen the light and I'm celebrating like it's Christmas time! (even if you can only chose from 2 or 3 type of boxes lol ;) )
Congratulations! This is one of the few blasters I've actually seen at my local Target. Every time I see them, I think about picking one up. I think I've been waiting for a sign... and this post was it. Best of luck on your box!
I didn't have much to chose from, but I saw some pictures and liked the simple and effective design of the base set. I totally didn't know about inserts or the so called hits. And got a pretty good surprise! And I love rainbows and stuff lol
