I think JD still has him, he was going to mail him to Dion.
At any rate, Dion needs to do something with him as I think its time for another 'round the world figure.

Agreed, I've recently been watching local public access, there a lot of cool places around here, like a cave where at least 100 people have been kill by pirates and what some consider to be America's first serial killers, as well as Metropolis, home of superman. And heck, we do have the mammoth cave thing,  |

I have the figure. Dion never took it with him back to Oragami when he visited in May and I only discovered he left it here last month. I should take more pictures with it as long as its here anyway... again. LOL yeah, I'll do that and send it off to someone. who wants it next?
return trip to Kentucky and then off to Paris or what?

It can go to Paris first, if that works, My wife gets off work in Sep for the new baby, so we plan to do a little sightseeing then, I can take him to the superman statue, the mamoth cave park, hell, muhammed ali museum, loads of stuff. |

I've been thinking, could we do a foe figure for him, like a cobra or EEL, you know, put him two stops behind, or hell, let the SEAL rest, might be neat for the unknown SEAL to have a nemesis, lol.

If you can get him to Julien soon, he can take the figure to Italy with him as well.

well it sounds like i'm gonna get some company.
i leave for Pisa on the 15th so it's unlikely i'll have him with me but he definitely have a couple shoots with the eiffel tower and a couple locations from the movie paris pursuit (which happened in Prague but don't get me started on this)

Get him to France. He needs some culture after hanging out with us for so damn long.
I'm starting on the EEL and he will be a bad mofo.

JD, do you need some money to cover the extra cost for shipping?
|

|

Post by NFC on Aug 10, 2009 5:35:29 GMT -5
okay, so in order to get it there before FRIDAY, it has to go Global Express Guarantee with a transit time of 1-3 days. ALL the other services are at least an estimated 6 days.
It's going to cost $53.10
should I mail it that way? I can....

there's no way you've gotta pay so much
send it the nomal way for the end of August. he doesn't need to visit Italy after all

yeah, I expected it would be expensive and all but $50+ is seriously ridiculous.
international freight is never cheap no matter who's shipping it but I had no idea even the US post service was gouging the rates that deeply now too... that's actually just about part with Brown and Purple now which is new since they used to always be somewhat cheaper.

They are dropping saturday service as well. Thats what happens when you pay ridiculous wages, huge pensions, and have your market share dwindle,  Reminds me, I need to get a post office job, |
