*snarls* You know how many places sell those figures in the UK? None.

Yeah, we don't have any GameCrazy stores near us either. My brother got it for me online.

I'd do that too, but I can't find any UK sites that do it. Many will ship overseas but the amount of red tape is unbelivable.

 

Even worse, amazon.com sells them, amazon.co.uk doesn't and they won't ship them to me. Gah!

Metal Gear Solid 3 is a really great game.

 

Phoib, I agree, Starship Troopers 2 is the worst movie ever! I'm so sorry you had to watch that movie... :(
