Help needed from an American member!

Hey guys!

I wonder if one of you would be willing to help me with something. It requires a bit of your time and effort, but I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to help out. If you have a BGG account I can throw you some geekgold.

Here's the deal: Japanime games is having a big sale on Krosmaster Arena stuff, but they don't ship to EU. On top of that, their large boxes make customs a PITA.

Today untill the 4th, they have Season 1 window boxes for $10 each. I want them all :P
That's 8 boxes (Season 1 expansions #1 though #8) plus Duel Packs #1 and #2 (JPG211 and 226). That's $100,-
For each $50 spent there's also an additional free promo figure includes plus some promo cardboard scenery, which I could always use. Shipping in the US is free.
With that order, you get a 50% off coupon for any Krosmaster product.
So I'd like a second order a day later for the Brotherhood Of the Tofu - JPG227 ($45,-), making that $22,50. Add to that Season 2 Exp #3 - Head Hunters - JPG220 + Season 2 Exp #4 - Armorer Brotherhood - JPG221 + Season 2 Exp #5 - Dura Lex Duc Rex - JPG222 ($10 each) = $52,50
With another free promo figure and hopefully another promo cardboard token set. You can keep the duplicate cardboard promo set if you like.
I'll pay you with PayPal. You need to create an account on JapanimeGames.com or I can order it all myself, and have it shipped to you. Then I'd only need to paypal your shipping cost to me.

That's a lot of boxes of course. 51 miniatures in total if I'm not misstaken. Now comes the work bit:
In order to make shipping affordable and easier, you'd have to unpack ALL of these boxes, take out the minis, and repack them together in 1 box. Pad the box with styrofoam along the sides, put the minis in a bag or something with plenty of foam peanuts or newspaper (the lighter the better!), and either put the cardboard tokens set(s) on the bottom, or if the box is smaller than the cardboard punchcard, punch them out, and put them in a plastic ziplock baggy.
All these boxes have plastic inserts holding the figures. Before you toss those out, cut out the keycode sticker. I need those to register the figures for Krosmaster online. Please don't put them anywhere public, or use them yourself obviously ;)
The boxes also have some cardboard tokens and small paper mini-playmaps. I'll need all of those too of course. All of this together would be shoebox size I think, maybe a bit bigger, depending on how much packing material you need.

Label the package as a gift, with a low value ($10,- maximum). That way customs is avoided. I'll pay the shipping cost by PayPal too. I'm guesstimating it's about $30 (hopefully less).


Yes, a lot of work, but I'd be eternally grateful :) The only possibility to get these for these prices is at Spiel Essen, but they only discount on sunday, and most window boxes are gone by then. Plus the Season 1 boxes are OOP, so gone = gone.
If all works out as planned, I'll send something nice as a thank you your way! ;)
