I'm careful here, fearing to open a can of worms...
Possibly, my original post came over the wrong way. I was a bit irritated that people apparently expected to see RotK:CR being cheaper than the first two sets. I was actually (rather pleasantly) surprised to see that it's at the same price as T2T:CR, and even more surprised that Amazon.de matches the $75 in €. However, apart from the rarities/book next year, I will NOT support any special special editions, if there are any. But I think the people responsible know that and won't pull our legs.
Now, about ordering when and where...I'm the last one to talk, really, as I do a lot of ordering not at Intrada or SAE. Being still a student, this is for purely financial reasons. I wish it were otherwise and that I could buy "normal" releases from them as well, but at the moment, I still have to watch my crops and thus (have to) favour Amazon and/or eBay. Special, limited or "home-made" releases (ie, label-made) I still order worth Intrada or SAE and will continue to do so.
Also...I'm in Germany, and even with the excellent $/€ exchange rate these days, shipping things over here adds to the clutter and I really cannot add CDs to an order just to make the per CD shipping costs appear less.
I wish my idealism would be supported by being monetarily carefree. Maybe that change one day...
And thus I once again have the Intrada Battle Hamsters sent my way and wish you people well until I'm back at month's end.
Cheers,
CK
